President Cristina Fernandez is expected to visit France for the opening of Paris Book Show, with a great display of Argentine culture and conferences, but most important she will be meeting on 19 March with her peer Francois Hollande to strongly lobby for a better deal with the Paris Club for the payment of a defaulted debt of 10bn dollars dating back to 2001.

Lalin says getting into the oil industry was as easy as calling on contacts he had made in a career working for the Peronist movement.
“I didn’t have any oil experience at all,” he says. “Those oil auctions are won with political contacts.”
The government system of granting oil leases is a monumental mistake that has set the nation back in both energy production and economic growth, says Estenssoro, the former senator who co-led the 2012 Senate investigation.
“The winners are the government’s friends,” she says. “The losers are the people of Argentina.”

Mar 07th, 2014 - 12:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why would they give debt relief to Argentina. Their own government says they have experienced steady growth for the last 12 years, they have just increased defence spending by 34%, as many posters on hear have posted their debts are much lower than the UK and USA. They have allied with Iran, not good friends with many members. They have had recent disputes with Spain. Why would the UK aid them in financing weapons which may be used to attack them. Shove off Argentina, pay your debts.

Mar 07th, 2014 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As I recall last year, when it was suggested Argentina do the exact same thing (over the exact same issue, territorial dispute, invasion... of which of course I do not see as such but Argentina's government does), the members of this forum BLASTED AND EXCORIATED Argentina for “politicizing the Olympics”.
So I am sure we all agree that today's decision by the UK, and Germany, and France, and the United States, and Italy, and others is APPALLING, UNDIGNIFIED, SMALL, and worthy of BANANA REPUBLICS.
Thank you mr. Putin. With your action on Crimea you have with one shot brought down so many myths of the WEST: self-determination belief, cessation of imperialism and expansionism, non-politicization of the Olympics, respect for referendums...
The myth of the good and righteous West now lays in broken, smoldering shards and scattered cinders.
And it only took two weeks to prove the West is just as tyrannical and anti-human rights as they accuse all others of being.
Well done Russia! And did all that while RESPECTING self-determination!
What an utter humiliation to the west.

There is a slight difference between the situations. For a start if Russia believes it has the right to do what it has done why does it deny that it has done it. Let's also remember that it was both Argentina And Russia who did the invading. It was the UK who should have had the right to block Argentine participation in London 2012 as the aggrieved party, a Argentina has no valid complaint that it can boycott over. Remember it was Argentina that invaded. Argentina that a used civilians, Argentina that are a bunch of arseholes. Argentina that launched a surprise attack on an unarmed friendly neighbour, Argentina that repeatedly publicly lied about what was going on. Finally it was it much of a threats what Argentina got up to at London 2012 was not much. Most people would not have noticed if they had boycotted.

@18 A_neoTroll_Observer
Mar 07th, 2014 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“...responsible for the death of 600 MILLION people since 1492.” Where did your ancestors migrate from again? Did they suddenly become better world citizens upon reaching Argentina's exotic shores? No-one in Argentina watched the Olympics? Not even to support their ( 137 strong ) team. Did not you or your fellow citizens take pride in Sebastian Crismanich's gold medal?
Please don't feel compelled to reply to these questions. But I would add that if you really wanted to attack the 'west' effectively you could do so much more accurately if you knew more about the subject in question. And if you were alive when the Berlin wall came down I doubt your sanguinity over the Russian presence in Crimea would be so complete.
I think that it is 3 bottles of Malbec, talking which can lead to hallucinations and cognitive problems. Remember, Mendoza is the centre of the world. They are having a mighty piss up at the wine festival. That combined with a tendency of delusions of grandeur explains a lot.

Mar 07th, 2014 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the truth be told, our wine is being given away because we can't sell it.
The situation is critical, we have price stagnation for over a year and economic situation has destroyed competitiveness and productivity.
Last year wine exports were down 14% in volume and earnings were decimated by inflation that continues to increase the cost of production inputs.
Our harvest this year is 20% down on last year with even more disappointment expected for exporters. Domestic consumption, which is faltering too, can't sustain the local industry.
The reality is very bleak for many here in Mendoza.
#18 Buenos Aires as a colony was set up by European Conquistadors, Argentina as a country was set up by European Conquistadors. Census data reveals that 97% of the Argentine population is European. This compares with 92% in the UK. You have your hero of your country on your bank note. In the very early years of your country he tripled its size by waging a war of genocide on its neighbours. At one point your capital and its surrounding areas had a 30% Black African slave population. This entire population was wiped out by your countries ethnic cleansing policy, which combined with your European only immigration policy (originating after Britain banned the slave trade, you were happy for African slaves to come to your country when they were your slave workforce) has lead to the current ethnic demographic. Your population speaks Spanish, a European language, not a South American language. You identify your self as a Latin nation, that is a nation from Southern Europe speaking Roman influenced language. Look at the list of government ministers. How many of them have European surnames? ALL OF THEM! Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner- your Pesidente - look at her name. Who did your president back in the Second World War, his friend Mussolini, why because they were both Latin fascists. After the war he welcome the European Fascists to your country, why because he had the same ethnic origin, political beliefs and twisted values. You are the worst of Europe rolled not one for 500 years.

You have to wonder if Nostrils would recognise prosperity if he thinks that Mendoza is doing so well. Fiddling while Rome burns.
Mar 07th, 2014 - 08:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Anyway he obviously doesn't recognise self-determination and hypocrisy. I'm all for Crimea leaving Ukraine because it decisively tips the ethnic balance in favour of European-leaning Ukraininans and will dilute the Russian influence. Russia will gain Crimea but forever lose Ukraine. Putin's place in history will not be favourable for Russian nationalists.
Anyway why ISN'T this acase of self-determination? Unlike Nostrils I can critical-think and also read through the propaganda instead of seeking it out.
Why Crimea isn't a case of self-determination:
• Russia invaded and organised a referendum within 2 weeks. Only a child would believe a referendum could fairly be held in such a short period of time.
• There are only 2 options to vote on and both entail independence from Ukraine. How fair is that? Option 1 leave Ukraine and join Russia. Option 2 declares Crimea independent from Ukraine (to join Russia later).
•2.5 million ballot papers have been printed. And yet there are only 1.5 million eligible voters. So what are the 40% of unused ballot papers going to be used for? The 'correct' answer?
Sorry, but this isn't self-determination. It's a farce.
But hey what does it matter. Because once a year Mendoza has a big party and everyone including Nostrils gets drunk and for a short while they can forget about all their problems because the wine is so cheap that even the poor people in the slums can participate. Bread and circuses.

Can’t see it will play any influence at all on the Scottish referendum. The Scots have been debating the pros and cons of independence for years. Most seem to have made up their minds, hence the relatively small shifts in the opinion polls. The result will reflect how Scots perceive Scottish interest. The Crimean situation is unlikely to change anyone’s mind.

I believe it could start triggering a wave of other movements in Eurasia wanting self determination. The Scottish debate is focused too economicaly usually its more about feelings and politics; eventually it may be that the Scottish negative in September has a disastrous consequences for MAS independence in Catalonia and other fiercely regional districts of Spain

Mar 08th, 2014 - 10:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0ONU doesnt recoignize those referendums.
Imagine we have in Arg a chinese neighbourhood (barrio chino) with many generations of chineses living here, one day they decide to vote for selfdetermination, call chinese troops, and annexe arg territory of barrio chino to China. Its not the way.
Or why Malvinas doesnt open inmigration and let argentines have an argentine neighbourhood on the isles??? of more than 25 persons there are now, obviously.
The ONU needs a reformation, new countries in that council, that have sth more than militar power in the head. Put Brazil, someone of Africa, give them veto.Im not a lawyer, so its my simple opinion.

'People' is not defined in international law.
As you have been fed a diet of propaganda compounded by a poor education, it is unsurprising that you have no idea what you are talking about.
Well if new troll is not certifiable, I don't know who is...other than CFK. In a country where they spend 1.4 million dollars per day on football, and people live in tin shacks and teachers are the worst paid people in the country, this place is going to hell in a hand-basket. And quickly.
Mar 08th, 2014 - 01:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Malen - “el pueblo argentino” in English is the “people of Argentina” likewise “el pueblo malvinense” or “el pueblo de las Malvinas” is “the people of the Falkland Islands”. And the people of the Falklands Islands are the people born there for over six generations and have nurtured the islands and have been nurtured there - unlike the majority of the Argentine people with the exception of the indigenous citizens.

I would like to welcome myself to the forum. My purpose, as a coryphaeus in the Comptrolling industry for 2 years, will be to ensure the utmost quality control of commentaries in these comment sections, and to safeguard truth and fact from the warping transgressions of non-Argentines. Thank you for the well-wishes in my new endeavor.
Mar 08th, 2014 - 04:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Carrousel of the Mendoza Wine Festival is fully underway, and as all politically savvy argentines know, in the year before elections the VIP stand at the Hyatt Hotel is overflowing with “presidenciales”. So who were at the VIP or are in Mendoza today for the most important they of the Harvest festival?
- Daniel Scioli, Province of Buenos Aires Governor ( for the traditional K wing)
- Jorge Capitanich, Chief of Staff ( for the militant K wing)
- Juan Manuel Urtubey, Province of Salta Governor, non-ultra K K.
- Manuel de la Sota Province of Cordoba Governor (Justicialist)
- Mauricio Macri, mayor of Buenos Aires Federal Capital (PRO)
- Sergio Urribarri, Province of Entre Rios Governor (militant K)
- Julio Cobos, former Mendoza Governor and former Vice President (radical)
It would be prudent for Argentines in this thread to disregard the destabilizing foreign forces that seek a popular revolt, whose end result would be an Argentina ripe for the taking by the imperialist, expansionist, covetous foreigners of Europe, North America, Chile, Brazil, and China, etc, and to focus on the democratic process of respecting pageantry, process, timetables, and of exercising your duty when the time comes.
Thank you everyone. May the civilized debates between argentines begin.

Mar 08th, 2014 - 05:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Because it is in conflict with Ukrainian law and constitution. It also conflicts with an international treaty signed between Russia and Ukraine whereby Russia recognises the Ukrainian international border.
It would be similiar if the Argentine province of Formosa were to hold a referendum to become part of Paraguay; with the connivance of the Paraguayian government.
This to would be illegal under Argentine law and constitution.

It has been instigated by Russia, at the point of a gun. Only one point of view is allowed...the Russian one. The Crimean peninsula has been blocked to the press or anyone from the Ukrainian TV. No observers are allowed.
There have already been verified reports that groups of Russian skinheads have been intimidating the Tatar population suggesting that they do not turn out to vote.
Czar Putin is trying to reconstitute the old Soviet Union. They already took back a chunk of Georgia. Next it will be west Ukraine, then Moldova.
The Baltic states of Estonia Latvia and Lithuania could be next. If he tries that it could be WW3.

The Falklands are prepared to see an argie neighbourhood. About 125 miles north of Stanley.
There isn't ANY country in Africa, Central or South America or the Middle East with the ability to take a permanent seat on the Security Council. Maybe in 500 years or so.
But, don't give up, you got one thing right. You are simple.
@74 Go away, TiT.
@75 Why did argie(faggot)land declare Falklands referendum illegal? Here's a couple of clues. The EU has a big mouth. The UK and the USA are PERMANENT members of the Security Coucil. They have a right. Argie(faggot)land has NO rights. It's just a little whingeing slug. Much like you.
@81 I'm, thankfully, not Argentine but just a quick question - don't you think you are wasting your time?
Mar 09th, 2014 - 06:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0@52 The point is that Russia has violated the territorial integrity of Ukraine despite being signatories to a memorandum of understanding that they would respect Ukraine's borders
Mar 09th, 2014 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0The proper way to have done it would be to allow the whole of Ukraine to conduct their own general election, as originally planned, in May and then giving the Crimean peninsula ( who are 75%+ Russian) their opportunity to vote on some degree of autonomy (including the possibility of ceding to Russia)
Putin with his macho (read “small” man - I think you know where I'm coming from!) bravado has wrecked this possibility and now other territories such as Estonia and Latvia are getting nervous as they both have considerable Russian speaking populations (who don't necessarily want to be part of Russia) as Putin will steam in on any pretext of aiding his Russian “brothers and sisters”. Hitler used exactly the same trick in the 1930's prior to WW2 in order to conquer and subjugate smaller nations.
I think he is setting a very worrying and dangerous precedent and the West has to make sure that it's response is robust. Fortunately there is a lot of Russian cash invested in the West so that might be a moderating factor.
In short, Ukraine is solely a matter for Ukrainians and they have to address their own issues,

You have to take this principle as an absolute, not only whith the cases which you preffer and those who dont are not worthy of it. The rest is REAL POLITIKS...
I think with a fair degree of security that Putin is going to get away with it. The west is chronically weak and they are no longer “players”, they are wrapped in political correctness this also will leave a dangerous presedent for Russia to start annexing Russian majority regions in Eastern Ukraine.
Apparently Mr Putin has been on the phone to Mr Camaron saying he needs help,

Mar 10th, 2014 - 12:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Whether or not it should be, Crimea is part of the sovereign territory of the Ukraine. It was a gift to the Ukraine from Russia in the 1950s and was universally accepted as part of the Ukraine upon break-up of the USSR.
This is wholly different to Argentinas claims on the Falkland Islands which have never been part of Argentina, and are not universally accepted as being part of Argentina.
Your point about self-determination and changing the universally agreed current position is poorly made.
In Scotland, the Scottish Parliament and the UK Parliament have agreed a time-table for a referendum, have agreed the question, and have set their stools out to ask the Scottish people their wishes.
In Crimea, prior to any referendum, the Crimean government have “declared” that they have “joined Russia” and invited Russian troops into their territory.
I wonder if you can see the difference? No?? oh dear??
What should happen is that firstly the Ukraine should hold elections (which they plan to do), which will give the new government a mandate. Then, this government, together with governemnt of the semi-autonomous region of Crimea should agree a timetable and plan to suit the people of that region.
All of this would have been quite achievable without the escalation from Moscow.
Again, I am sorry your inferior intellect cannot comprehend this...its a shame.
Now what are the chances of CFK nipping along to the Crimea after France,

Mar 12th, 2014 - 12:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Keep up your sparkling, erudite posts, they are a source of wonderment to us all.
They just confirm our beliefs as to the paucity of your vocabulary and intellect.
Now , if you wish your last sentence translated into Russian, I would suggest that you refer it to your self proclaimed genius of a linguist with the suffix “troll ”
However, you would first have to put that into English before an attempt could be made to translate it.
”Bloody f@ckers..(this would need to be f@cking), retarded........
the next bit is confusing and ambiguous......monkeys pirates.
Is monkeys a noun or adjective ? If an adjective then it would have to monkey.
If you meant it as a noun then it would have to be monkeys AND pirates.
Also, you forgot to write kebab eating , pyjama wearing..how remiss of you !
I can understand why as that would have used up your complete vocabulary.
You are banished to the naughty step to write out 100 times..”I must write my insults in correct English as per the rules of MercoPress!
If you wish to be promoted from Troll grade 3 to grade 2, then there will have to be a considerable improvement in your posts.
