Jun 13th, 2013 - 12:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Who is trying to put themselves on top?
Hannibal “Lecter” Fernandez is a moron in the first degree. He and they do not understand that in a real democracy, one branch of the government does not have absolute power. They all have a little overlap with each branch power in their respective areas.....executive has administrative power, Legislative has power toenact law and the judicial applies and interprets law. These bozos want all the power.......dictocracy.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 01:46 am - Link - Report abuse 0So according to this guy Anibal Fernandez, the tyrants are the folks in the judiciary. Not CFK's people.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 03:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do politicians from all cultures practice this kind of deceiving, misleading rhetoric? “We're the good guys, we want to subjugate everything, and they won't let us, they have to be the bad guys.”
In the elections in this country in October, its voters are going to hand this administration it's ass. No matter how much La Campora tries to cheat and bully and rig the elections.
What can we do anyway while she's out there spreading her biggest lie: CFK urges people to make 'a big effort to defend the Government', She urged workers and entrepreneurs present during a rally in Luján de Cuyo, in Mendoza, “not to fail people” and to ”take care of the state”. She was attending the opening ceremony of YPF’s two new fuel production plants.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 03:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0The President called on “making a big effort to defend the state” and criticized the ones “who have a lot of money and don't care about it”. So what, Does that mean she's criticising herself, oh wait No !! she loves money and cares about spending it....
If the Kircheristas win in October, more fool the people for once again believing into the crap that comes out her cake hole !
This whole mad mess will end in tears, but this is brilliant, because Mercosul (Brazil) needs a kick up the bum. Brazil who has tried the powsy wowsy tactics with the retarded Argentina (politically) will have to try and stay in the world trade game and have to make structural reform because increasingly they have no-one else in the crazy trade block to rely on/sell to (of size - sorry Uruguay and Paraguay but you are a pimple on the elephant - please join the Pacific Alliance!). When Argentina soon has only bread and water for a couple of years what will Brazil do but try and work with others. They know they have to do this to make a “dollar” in the world. If they head the way of countries of stupidity aka Argentina they will get crucified by the markets with their consequences and as we know politicians like to stay in their jobs.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 05:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0If CFK actually put as much effort into actually running the country as she does into fighting court cases, Argentina wouldn't be in such a mess.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 06:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0Her priorities are all wrong.
@4 Yes all politicians lie, dissemble, mislead, etc etc - it goes with the territory. They can't be seen to be fallible or they think they will lose the public's trust, despite the fact that hardly anyone trusts a politician anyway.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 06:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0In Argentina, however, the concept of checks and balances doesn't seem to have registered with the politicians. That's the worrying bit. Until a new government overthrows these laws there will be no justice for anyone outside of government circles, which is a complete mess if you are an overseas investor.
what is a constitution for if not to supervise the government? no matter of what quantity the majority is. unless the constitution is not modified, the government has to act according to the existing paragraphs.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0ck and her gang act as Putin and China in the presence and the Nazis and the DDR in the past.
hopefully ck also belongs to the past within short.
Now this will be interesting, CFK is going to rely on a judgement from the Supreme Court, the very body whose power she is trying to dilute & influence
Jun 13th, 2013 - 11:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I wonder how old fart Fayt, the 95 year old SC judge criticised by CFK during the week is going to vote???
“Nobody wants to be the last one left,” said Marcos Aguinis, an author of several bestselling political books and novels. “It's tragic, the predictability, but this is clearly falling apart once again.”
Jun 13th, 2013 - 11:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Indeed, one of the most commonly heard phrases in Buenos Aires at the moment is “fin del ciclo” - the end of the cycle, a uniquely Argentine notion that the economy and often the government must regularly implode to make way for something new.
So why does that keep happening?
“I've been trying to answer that question for 50 years,” said Rock, the historian. “To be honest, I still don't know.”

“So why does that keep happening?”
Jun 13th, 2013 - 02:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because politicians steal all the money? Isn´t it obvious?
Seems like CFK has other problems to worry about...... there has been another train crash in BsAs with 3 dead & over 150 injured. It´s almost a replica of the Once crash that killed 52 people last year
Jun 13th, 2013 - 05:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They promised new cars since the last tragedy but apparently they just repainted the old ones & pressed them back into service .....I guess Randazzo´s head is on the line for this one!!!
Its not rocket science the reason for the short cycle economic boom bust of Argentina. And the reason why Argentines accept it isnt either. 50 years and he still doesnt have an answer. What?!
Jun 13th, 2013 - 05:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The answer is very simple: Peronism.
Jun 13th, 2013 - 06:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unless that is completely dismembered Argentina is screwed: so basically Argentina IS screwed.
