    These 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.
    Pascua 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

    Just 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!

    I don't understand why stupid weak Rgs think they can take on every major company in the world?
    Don't they realize they've lost every single time they've gone up against them in the courts?
    Gads their arrogance makes them stupid
    Plus think of the U$ MILLIONS they waste in legal fees every year!

    Yes 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.

    No, 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?

    Why 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.

    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.
