The Argentine government said on Friday there is no turning back of current policies despite the massive national strike that paralyzed the country on Thursday and insisted that the real impact was the result of the roadblocks in the accesses to the main cities. Read full article

Who knows, they might even reduce inflation and reduce the poor and create employment.
The gov't will respond as it has always done so far. Pressing on in its stubbornness, challenging and ignoring its opponents and maybe further on it will give in some wooden sweets kits for the mob to nibble on like increasing income tax minimums and further more handouts.

But they ARE scared of the unions and the massive halt and strike them accomplished on Thursday. Don’t get that one wrong. They know there will be more to come

Apr 12th, 2014 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and what was that we said about “Government's don't learn from the mistakes of others”???
Ladies and gentlemen I give argentina!!!
If your policies are not working and you are running your country into the ground what do you do???
Do you:-
a) try something different and hope it makes things better
or do you
b) Give the people more of the same
It's got to be “b” all the way hasn't it?? no half measures here, oh no!!! If you are going to destroy the country do it completely!! Don't give the people any hope of a brighter tomorrow!!!
and just make sure that the next government has absolutely NO chance of putting things right as well, just leave a big ol mess that will ruin the country for the kids of tomorrow and their children as well!!!

Apr 12th, 2014 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I’m not sure which force you are referring too?? They are taking control of the army but I think you've got confused with the 5k re call of retired policemen into the Bonaerense by Scioli but he is not going to get the streets ordered in any possible way. One would imagine they would send the gendarmerie back to the frontiers, but it is likely they remain in BsAs Conurbano for a long time and the provincial gov't rely ever more on them.
As many politicians, even Churchill himself, have said:

Apr 12th, 2014 - 05:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are correct, I am talking about the 5k recall.
Is that a new force, or existing?
Are they to contain rioting, or extra protection for the government personnel?
@Troy Tempest
Apr 12th, 2014 - 07:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are calling back policemen who have been discharged, honorable and not honorable, in an desperate and much too late attempt to ramp up security. It seems as if the lynchings have made at least Scioli understand that something has to be done. A force of 5000 of the worst PFA psychopaths back on the streets with badges and guns is a scary thought. Better prepare for “gatillo fácil” incidents to flare up.
Its started....

Apr 12th, 2014 - 10:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Conurbano majors and politicians use miscellaneous sources of clash forces and bullies but they don’t use the cops, that is too obvious.
In Argentina police forces are very rudimentary and ill trained none the less. I have known guys that have become cops in 6 months or so in my province in Cordoba,
I think Scioli just wants them patrolling and wondering around for the people to see them and feel safer. There is no real integral plan to combat insecurity it’s just about keeping appearances

Apr 14th, 2014 - 12:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“But they ARE scared of the unions”
Yes, and they are also scared of running out of money, hence the U-turns on monetary policy and the simultaneous fiscal tightening this year.
Predictably this will bring them into ever more conflict with the unions.
They are between a rock and a hard place. A lot of police are going to be needed to hold the course. I suspect the increase in police numbers has as much to do with the probable increase in industrial action as it has to do with addressing street crime.

Apr 14th, 2014 - 12:54 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No. That's the answer to that. Place amongst the subjugated nations, you meant.
Argentina is not returning to the world order created merely to oppress it.
@17
How about you address street crime in Chile. It's getting out of control there. And please don't deny it, I deal with Chileans all the time. One had his house broken the DAY they had gotten their passports. So someone had tipped them off, probably within the passport issuing system. Supposedly they sell well in the black market there.
Get you own house in order dear.

Apr 14th, 2014 - 02:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Of course there is street crime in Chile. Never have denied it.
In fact, according to the UN you are almost half as likely to be violently assaulted in Chile as you are in Argentina, so it is bad.
We were approached in the backstreets of Santiago. It went like this:

No Thanks
“Where are you from?”
England
“Best music in the world!”
Well, Chileans like the English. That's their right. England has also never attacked Chile and attempt to massacre people in its capital city, or blockade the country with your navy to starve the population, so that probably helps the friendly atmosphere.
Apr 14th, 2014 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Toby, will you ever cease to be incorrect?
Apr 14th, 2014 - 06:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The English pirates attacked the Chilean coast repeatedly for more than 200 years. Every Chilean coastal town has a fort with canons pointing out to sea. They were there to protect against the English mostly, but others too.
In my home town there is a plaque on one of the churches stating that it was the only building in the city not destroyed in one such English attack. The entire city was burned to the ground because the local population refused to hand over their silver to the English. There were similar events in many Chilean town.
Does it negatively impact our friendship with the English today? No, not at all. A major victim mentality would be required for that to be the case.
Sane people get over slights and live in the present.
Apr 14th, 2014 - 06:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The British burned down our Capital in the 1800s now they are our strongest allies.
Go figure
Your whole country needs to mature and get over the past.
Sorry, but someone has to NOT forgive the British. At least until they say “sorry”.
Apr 15th, 2014 - 02:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0Getting over a past wrong when there was no apology or reparation is ridiculous. You morons go ahead with that, you probably will get your capital burned down and your coasts bombarded again for forgetting the past.
BTW, the British demand we apologize for the Falklands conflict. So I guess there goes both your arguments about “moving on”.

Apr 15th, 2014 - 04:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you hadn't been intimidating, insulting, blockading, and generally pestering the Falklanders and British for the past 32 years, everyone might have “moved on” and started to tentatively re-establish relations.
I'm sure the FI and UK would consider it “moving on”, if Argentina were to apologise for invading, imprisoning, threatening, degrading the inhabitants, etc. etc.
I suppose you're stuck on wanting the British to apologise for fighting back...
Yeah, I can see how there is an impass.

I'm off. Nobody in Argentina cares about Chile, the USA, or any of the other ones.
Why should I. Have no effect whether you are friend or not friend. Keep believing you self-delusions of grandeur. If you all sink tomorrow life would go on here. Have our own food, television, customs, music, writers, and economically only the USA would hurt temporarily but Argentina has before coped with export losses.
But keep believing you all are so important and genetically superior to argies. Poor deluded fools.
Bye.
