Why, if the petrochemical industry (ALL owned by the government and run by a bunch of tossers) did fuels of all sorts go up by a gnats cock less than 10% this month? Next period we will have Pepe crowing things are even better at ANCAP, well they would be if you put the price up of someone everyone cannot do without!!! And the spot price of fuel hasn’t seriously moved for months in reality.
Never mind the new pulp mill construction coming to an end what about the 2000+ construction workers out of work around Punta del Este?
The pulp mill, when the management eventually decides the government isn't going to fuck it up anymore than it already has, will start production and the workers it employs will be added to the count. What, if anything, are the government doing about reducing the draconian taxes that strangle all businesses and result in downturns and loss of jobs? FA as usual because they are so stupid, these commie twats, that they have never understood that reducing taxes per se will result in a greater overall tax take because things will be flourishing instead of dying.
Four years of Pepe, his commie mates in ministerial positions, rollover of debts for the future generations to pay for all in the name of Social Inclusion and padding the government with dim wits who can do no more than count up to 20 using their fingers and toes.
And Vasquez is like y to be hamstrung with having La Tronca Topolansky as his V.P. Poor sod, all his good work from his previous presidency chucked down the crapper by this harridan and her stupid husband.
You couldn’t make this up.
@2 Chris, not a fan of communism then I take it? It took a long time before the USSR woke up to the fact it does not work.

Sep 16th, 2013 - 04:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now we'll continue going eolic and energy imports should drop accordingly.
Self-sufficiency is Pepe's legacy :)
The Uruguayan people voted for them before and will vote for them again and again, unless of course the yanks with the help of the ones like you, manage to recreate the Plan Condor.

Sep 17th, 2013 - 11:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0Don't you call me a fascist you commie idiot.
I bet you and your entire family are sucking the blood out of people who work and pay taxes or like me who invest in the country and pay taxes.
If you love these commie bastards so much you can go to Cuba and see how you get on without your hand-outs.
Most certainly I won't fall as low as certain people gratuitously insulting others for the sake of it. You, are the one showing dissatisfaction with the government that the Uruguayan people democratically choose, so is YOU and perhaps your entire family the ones that should pack your hate, racism and insults and leave for a more obscure place. I would recommend Israel, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Syria where you can kill whoever you like instead of cowardly insulting people.

Sep 18th, 2013 - 06:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You have not answered my challenge concerning whether you and your family are devouring MY taxes with this social inclusion “fetish” of the successors to the Tupamaros.
It is no surprise that they vote for this bunch of Marxist commie twats when they are handed money NOT to work.
I live in Uruguay because I chose to, not by some accident of birth. I have also invested a great deal of money in the country and I pay ALL my taxes, do you?
You are not by any chance the puppet of the lunatic La Think, are you?

Sep 19th, 2013 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0As I said before, if you feel “devoured” by the “evil commies” because you are paying taxes as everybody else do (including myself and my family), why you and your divine family don't just leave the damned country? As you said before, it's a matter of choice, so do good to yourself and your divine family and go to your celtic-anglo-saxon “perfect” world, or is it that you are afraid that your “perfect” world is disintegrating fast and soon converting itself in a sharia law caliphate?
I'm puppet of nobody, and my Homeland is that space material or immaterial occupied by a person or his/her thoughts reflecting universal peace, justice and love. Evidently your Homeland is not the one I revere. Good voyage !!

Sep 19th, 2013 - 05:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You just don’t get it do you. You are so keen to see fascists in every place and “forget” that Pepe and La Tronca bend over for the fascists across the Plate!
I love Uruguay, I love the great people I have met and I have some really good friends here. They all hate the amount of tax they now have to pay to bankroll the burdening state and this laughable Social Inclusion crap of Pepe’s where he gives lazy bastards the money earned by my friends instead of providing a good place to encourage new companies.
I bet you have no concept of how difficult it is to start a new company: I do, I did look at the steps I would have to do myself to start a new business and just gave up.
I don’t mind my taxes going to some poor person who cannot work due to health or disablement, I do NOT agree with giving it to healthy lazy bastards and if that makes me a fascist then you are an imbecile.
That is not name calling that is an accurate description of ANYONE who things that way given the alternative.
So I am staying and you and your attitude can fuck off wherever you want. Got it now?

Sep 20th, 2013 - 02:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0Classic of the kind of people like you, insulting whoever dare to think different. IF I AM A “COMMIE” you are a FASCIST. Remember Hitler? He was more concerned by the “commies” than by the jews. You do not love Uruguay, you just love your money and the ones like you, the same ones that jeered in exultation when the bloody dictatorship the military were executing “commies” on orders from your celtic-anglo-saxon bastards bent now in exterminating anyone that is not their slave. You do not know ANYTHING about Uruguay, the only thing you know is to insult those that the MAJORITY OF URUGUAYANS VOTED FOR . By the way, if this “disgusting” government doesn't suit you, YOU are the one who can f... off. I am to stay here, because I dare to think differently. Take your money and shovel it up yours. Got it now?
