Darn Mercopress, I'm amazed with this article.

No worries though, MPP has already stated they back Vazquez, and with that, the discussion is ended for whom is to become the next candidate.
Chris, when you say the communists, you mean them from the communist party, or do you classify every voter further left than Vazquez a “communist”?

But you know Pepe is not from the Communist Party, do you? He's from MPP...

Aug 05th, 2013 - 03:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, I know that.
I also know Pepe was a 'radical' socialist and took to being a terrorist and robbing banks to fund his 'ideals'.
He has also said that you have sometimes to ignore the law to get things done.
Ask yourself a question: is he not a communist in reality, despite what he claims otherwise?
And what does he claim otherwise, dear Chris?

Aug 05th, 2013 - 06:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, that's difficult because he says a lot of things and then takes them back.
I suspect the onset of dementia here and his health is definately catching up with him, as is reasonable given his age.
He really blew it with Pluna and showed himself up badly by relying on his old cronies who frankly appear to be idiots if you look at what they say.
You need to appreciate the flavour of the language. Pepe speaks the language of the people, which is why he is so respected. If you take every word he says literally, I understand your confusion. But many times he is speaking about a feeling or sensation, rather than the actual meaning of what he is saying.

I have always found that Europeans and Americans can be relied to understand plain English / Italian, etc. Such people can get very upset when they don’t know what to make of statements.
We had a new managing director in one company I worked for who liked to talk in homilies, thinking he would get the meaning of what he wanted to say over in simple words “of truth” as he put it. Unfortunately for him (and us the management) not many people went to church or read the bible or went to Sunday School in the area around Witton, Birmingham (near to Villa Park) and he really confused the Sikhs and pissed off the Muslims in the 1,200 workforce.
Being pedantic, you CANNOT smoke inside a gas bottle! The reason is very simple, there is no means of sustaining combustion (there is no oxygen). How many Uruguayans understand that?
Hahahaha Chris!

You are just priceless!
