The governor from the Argentine province of Rio Negro has decided to cross the line and join one of the leading opposition groups whose head is a strong presidential hopeful for October 2015. The move can be threatening to the government of President Cristina Fernandez if more disenchanted elected officials follow or their lawmakers also decide to cross the line and could jeopardize the government's majority in Congress.

    This is one of many to start fleeing the sinking ship. Just wait until more indictments start and the first conviction of all the embezzlement of public funds. There will be enough shit to keep all the flies in the Pampas smiling for some time to come.

    Unlike Urban Argentina of course, where the police & military are nowhere to be seen, whilst mobs of looter/vigilantes/otherwise ne’er-do-wells go rampaging around on discount shopping sprees.

    There is a nice article in the Herald. Venezuela and Ecuador would be her likely choices.

    Interesting. I have never seen any of them you mention in my life.

    The police in Argentina does not have a right to break-up protests, even violent ones. Much less the military.

    The rats are smelling how the waterline rises.

    We will have a lot of that in the months to come; many of the highly committed politicians, artists and all kind of lowlives who have being getting profit from the Kirchner gov will start to step aside. It won´t take long until they vow they never were Kirchenr supporters at all.

    Sadly, the average Argentinian has an extremely short memory.

    Sadly also, chances are the next president will also be from the fascist peronist party.
