The government of President Cristina Fernandez implemented a new system whereby mayors will be able to directly apply for financial assistance for their districts, thus bypassing governors.

This bunch of crooks have been taking lessons from New Labour and the Cunt Brown.

Starving Conservative Boroughs was always the case when they were in power, whereas New Labour mismanaged areas always got what they wanted.

Now the chickens have come home to roost, just look at Stoke-On-Trent, a real bunch of NL twats!

How long can this draw out? I'm just waiting for a former ally to smother her in her sleep, drown her in a hot tub while she's getting a $50,000 spa treatment. Her attempts cling to power get more disgusting by the day.

Please, have her overdose on the pain meds for her plastic surgeries! Or for her La Campora goons to bash her head in because she has no money to pay them.

Good move, cut the ground from under the threatening conservative Scioli (isn't the article a bit biased to call him the “most outsanding” governor?!) and make the system potentially far fairer, less corrupt and more redistributive at the same time. It seems after going to the hospital of Chavez and the Vietnamese resistance tunnels Cristina isn't just going to hand over power to a Menemite because he's formally in the same party; get used to it =)
