“Nothing or nobody” can separate Argentina and Uruguay, Mujica tells the world
Despite Uruguayan President Jose Mujica had anticipated he would give no further explanations about his at least controversial remarks about Argentina’s presidencial couple, Cristina and Néstor Kirchner, the Uruguayan leader on Friday midday stated in his daily broadcast that “nothing or nobody” could separate the brotherly nations.

Apr 06th, 2013 - 09:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why apologise when everything the Uruguayan president said is true he knows that the only difference is that he has to live right alongside the biggest fanatical creep Argentina has ever produced. Sad part is that Latin Americans seldom can speak out about their feelings because few have democracies so are likely to be severely punished by the biggest bully of all Argentina if they so much as speak one wrong word about that fanatic leader they have.
Apr 06th, 2013 - 09:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0She is so unpopular even in her own Country that if there was a true democracy in Argentina she would have been removed a long time ago. probably never would have got elected. Will be quite interesting to see how she fares next time around. Not that it will matter because Argentina is unlikely to get a real person as a leader with so many corrupt politician's to pick from.
Argentina is going through the worst political time since the Leopoldo Galtieri and his stupid plan to invade the Falklands was in the end his downfall. CFK knows that she can't use force because she also would be brought down as well if she did.
Kind of a catch twenty two situation .
The fact the police abandoned her to drown in the floods, and instead she had to rely on her hand-picked bodyguard of early-released La Campora murderers and rapists to keep her from the mob, says a whole lot about her popularity.

Brilliant Think! And Marcos is right about Brown too
Pretty rich of the Uruguy opposition to say he should apologize to Cristina now, after attacking him for years for being her ally and friend, seems like opposition for oppositions sake. In fact, especially now I see he was warned about the microphone, part of me thinks he might have said these things deliberately to shake off the pussy whipped image that the opposition have tarred him with. Which could make his policies of brotherhood and unity easier to get on with in the long run. Canny politician indeed, if this was the plan =)
I really can't see what all the fuss is about Mujica was only repeating what everyone else was saying..... No more lifts in Tango 1. Oh, I forgot they can't really take it anywhere except other pariah nations anyway?

Why it ThinkoDover trying to persuade people that the CFK Nepotism Party hasnt made lots & lots & lots of money out of her family empire?
Might as well point at the sky and tell people it pink with purple spots and smells of cheese. (hmm.. actually sounds a bit like CFK.)
You are SO ruddy naive THink its astonishing.
Its a long-time since politics was the province of the “already rich” because they made so little money in the job. NOw its the province of those “who want to get rich”, for either legitimately or not, they all end up on the gravy-train of business directorships, speec-tours, memoirs and all the other associated BS that accompanies top-tier politicians nowadays.
To try to suggest that CFK and family are different is farce for many reasons, and incredibly naive: regardless of her choosing the legal or illegal avenues shes made a load and will make a load more from being president, and so will her family, regardless of how they hide the fact until she retires.
And before you go off on one of your ranty-sidetracks - Yes, I apply it to any and all politicians all around the world.... with the solitary exception, perhaps, of Mujica.
But then, he may be the exception that proves the rule.
Folks like Blair & Bush should stripped of money, liberty and put up on charges ensuring they end up in prison...and they can then debate the fairness of it with corrupt money-grabbers like CFK, also serving their terms for stealing from the people in one way or another.

BK you either have got to be kidding or retarded...
Apr 06th, 2013 - 11:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0But the gem in the Kirchner Crown of Corruption and Fraud involves President Cristina Kirchner herself: the almost complete disappearance of hundreds of millions of dollars in public funds in her native Santa Cruz province in the Patagonia region, at the hands of her deceased husband, former President Néstor Kirchner back in the early nineties when he was Provincial Governor.
In 1992, Governor Néstor Kirchner and Provincial Deputy Cristina Kirchner intensely lobbied for President Carlos Menem and his Economy Minister Domingo Cavallo’s plan to sell the state oil giant YPF to Spain’s Repsol (probably a front for Britain’s BP).
As a reward for Kirchner’s services to Menem, in 1993 Santa Cruz Province was paid by the federal government $654 million in long-outstanding royalties owed by YPF.
Thus those federal funds became provincial funds, which Kirchner immediately expatriated. Today, almost 20 years later, no one knows exactly what became of that money.

Unless you want people to be certain she & family are guilty.
Why should they be separated at all? Uruguay is closer to Argentina than the so-called Malvinas, so it could easily be made into a province. The Uruguayans are the same mix of Spanish and Italians as the Argentines. Until fifteen years ago, if you phoned Uruguay from Argentina, you used a domestic code, not an international one. Kirchner should be looking to invade and annex Uruguay as the twenty-fourth province.
Apr 06th, 2013 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0“”“To try to get to the bottom of this scandal a civil lawsuit was filed against Néstor Kirchner and his helpers in a Buenos Aires District Federal Economic Crimes Court in May 2004.

laughing my tits off its SO bad.
@20 Indeed, it's called “damage limitation”. I wonder if Mujica reads history books. And whether they are printed in argieland. Looking back, it seems that, around 1814, the area then called the Eastern Province joined with the provinces of Santa Fe and Entre Rios to resist the assumed authority of Buenos Aires. After a series of banditry incidents in territory claimed by the Portuguese Empire, Portugal invaded and subsequently annexed the territory under the name Cisplatine Province. After Brazilian independence in 1822 it became part of the Empire of Brazil with a greater degree of autonomy than other provinces. The United Provinces of the River Plate then indulged in a few years of subversion until the Eastern Bank declared independence from Brazil and allegiance to the United Provinces. That led to the Cisplatine War. And then to stalemate once the UP fleet had been destroyed and the inability of UP ground forces to capture any major “Uruguayan” cities. It was at this point when Britain stepped in and brokered a peace, the 1828 Treaty of Montevideo, which acknowledged the independence of the Cisplatine province under the name of Eastern Republic of Uruguay. Despite the destruction of its fleet and effective defeat, the argie navy kept naming new ships after those lost and after people and events. Things stayed fairly quiet until, in 1952, Peron attempted to curb “offshore banking” in Uruguay. Things went quiet again until argieland started the pulp mills dispute that began in 2003. The matter was eventually taken to the ICJ. Didn't help that argieland lost, a pulp mill was opened in 2007 and the “contamination” that argieland said it was concerned about turned out to be sewage from one of its own towns. Then there's the dredging of channels in the River Plate, necessary for access to Uruguayan ports, where argieland is dragging its feet. Then there was the scandal when argieland refused to buy back its currency exchanged by its nationals. All very “brotherly”!

Apr 06th, 2013 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unfortunately, President Mujica is right. Nothing can separate Uruguay and Argentina, geographically that is. Anybody who has been to the two countries will know that Uruguayans and Argentines are very different animals. Politically speaking we have seldom been very close. The relationship deteriorated with the advent of Perón and even further with CFK.
Apr 06th, 2013 - 04:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I suspect that Mujica said what he did on purpose, because he realizes that the Uruguayan electorate does not agree to his policy of appeasement, and he just wanted to show that in his heart of hearts he despises the Argentine government as much as everybody else.

Everyone thought the situation would normalize after the elections, but instead of stopping things got worse. It wasn't until last year that CFK got unpopular here in Argentina.

Apr 07th, 2013 - 01:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@52 There's a BLACK sheep in virtually every “family”. The bitchy, the corrupt, the criminal, the feckless, the lazy, the vicious. That's argeland.
Apr 07th, 2013 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@58 That would be with money stolen from ordinary citizens in Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan and the U.S. and other countries, who had invested their savings and retirement pensions in debt bonds. Doesn't that make you feel ashamed?
@59 Actually, there were Good Witches of the North, South and West. It's just that CFK is “new”. Until her, there was no Wicked Witch of the South.
@61 It's never been anything else!
@67 Stick with old bitch/cow/hag/slag and you can't go far wrong!
@71 Oh no, we're all “pirats”. Never mind that the first “person” that the United Provinces “sent”, David Jewett, was a pirate. There's no evidence that he was ever authorised to go to the Falkland Islands. Then there was sneaky, underhand Luis Vernet, who also engaged in piracy by illegally seizing 3 American vessels using powers he didn't legally have. As a thought, doesn't a “pirate” operate at sea? Pirates Jewett and Vernet certainly did. In fact, if you look at its history, argieland is, on a massive scale, what Port Royal once was. Home to criminals, murderers, pirates, privateers, robbers and thieves. Regrettably, unlike Port Royal, we can't look foward to an earthquake wiping the place out.
@72 That's $400 million of stolen money isn't it? Money owed to private citizens in Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan and the U.S. and other countries, who had invested their savings and retirement pensions in debt bonds. Is that dollars or useless pesos?

Apr 07th, 2013 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not true. Uruguayans and Argentines are very different, but in order to realise you have to actually know both countries. Your statement is even more inaccurate than saying there's no difference, for instance, between England and Eire, or France and Belgium.
To call a Uruguayan Argentine is considered an insult, and the difference will be pointed out.
It is $400MM pesos so they will just print them.
Apr 07th, 2013 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This little disaster may turn out to be a very big problem for the gov't.
The YPF refinery which provides 175 of the gas in the country is not expected to be fully functional for 4 months! Which means they have to import much more fuel than they expected. More of a drain on the few U$ they have left. Plus they lose $ on every imported liter!
This is on top of what is turning out to be a very poor return on the Soy, much much less U$ is coming in than they hoped.
I hope the next mass protest turns ugly, really really ugly.

That remark was insulting and I was being smart-alecky.
I am finding it difficult to understand why Uruguay appears to have so much solidarity with Argentina, when one hears repeatedly that Argentina is uncooperative, bullying, lying, and wanting everything their way. This must be a very difficult neighbour to live with and do business with.
Argentinians think Uruguayos are beneath them and provincial. This solidarity they keep talking about is just talking. It doesn't really exist.
Apr 07th, 2013 - 04:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@80 yankeeboy - The Argentinians think EVERY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD is beneath them - that is why they foolishly assume that every nation and forum in the world support their spurious claim for sovereignty of the Falklands/Malvinas. They are so bloody arrogant!
Apr 07th, 2013 - 04:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The 2013 defence budget allows its operational vessels to spend only 10 days at sea, while the one available submarine San Juan managed just over six hours submerged after a complete overhaul before it needed more repairs.
Apr 07th, 2013 - 04:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Six week ago the fleet's Type 42 destroyer Santsima Trinidad suffered a catastrophic valve failure at the naval base in Puerto Belgrano and sank within minutes.
The only warship to venture out of Argentine waters last year broke down during exercises off Africa and needed urgent repairs in the South African port of Simonstown.
Since then not a single Argentine warship has left territorial waters.
To add to their humiliation the Argentine Navy has no ammunition for its warship-mounted guns.

Apr 07th, 2013 - 07:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's because we Uruguayans fear Argentina. Fear leads to loathing. We must learn to expect nothing good from Argentina, and try to have as little to do with them as possible. Just like the Falklands, but unfortunately the UK will not come to our rescue, and the distance is more like 300 yards than 300 miles. For generations we have remained independent by playing off Brazil and Argentina against each other, and nothing will change.
There is a scandal brewing over the flood death count. I guess CFK doesn't want it too look like she killed more than the 50+ they have reported.
Apr 07th, 2013 - 08:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Kinda like the murder/crime rates being kept artificially low or not reported at all for the last few years.
