Nov 01st, 2013 - 11:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0These guys are simply fresh (De Vido), bother Uruguay for increase the activity of the pulp mill and want to continue with the polluting project Pascua Lama.
Nov 02nd, 2013 - 12:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0Pascua Lama was halted in Chile since is polluting glaciers and water streams. It will be kept that way until the issue will be solved.
Well done Chile, good to see a country looking after its environment. Pity it could not be said of Argentina what with the pollution of the river opposite BOTNIA
Nov 02nd, 2013 - 08:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just look at that. Barrick are hampered by circumstances outside its control. A “normal government” would understand. But not argieland. “Give us the gold”. “Give us the jobs”. “Give us the money”. Isn't that just like argieland? “Gimme, gimme, gimme”. Greed!

Nov 02nd, 2013 - 02:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes as TTT points out, but no-one knows the meaning of it in Argentina. Who on earth spends good money after bad, only the Argie government.

Nov 02nd, 2013 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No, but there is a phrase which elicits co-operation: give me the money or else.
If Argentina are as advanced as the Malvanistas claim why aren't there any Argentine oil firms, mining companies?
Nov 02nd, 2013 - 02:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why foreign firms needed?
Argentina haven't been going quite as long as the USA but they've had plenty of time to develop from one of the richest countries at the turn of the 19th /20th century to one that has its OWN mining companies.
Answer=simple.
Argentina shafts every country and foreign company that helps it.
Cooperation in Argentinian Spanish has the same meaning as Stab-in back

What a mess, the government has lost a lot of political capital in this one due to the high environmental cost the project has, and now not even Barrick Gold sees the worth in operating in Argentina.
