Argentine stats on economic growth again come under suspicion
Argentina’s government released some hopeful economic statistics last week with numbers showing that the economy climbed out of recession in the last quarter. But with skepticism over the numbers, combined with a free-falling peso, in light of Argentina’s debt dispute with holdout creditors, economists still have a grim outlook the Mercosur member economy.

Silly Marxists
The lies never ever end. You could never stay in power if you told the truth here. Then there is Boudou...what a wicked web we weave when first we practise to deceive.
Sep 29th, 2014 - 11:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0I 'blame' Killitoff. A whole country's economy in the hands of a juvenile Marxist. What has he done? He's rushed from place to place saying that everything will be alright. In accordance with argie policy and propaganda, he 'attacks' a court of law. Says a lot about argieland. Want to borrow? Issue bonds. Choose the relevant legal jurisdiction. Commit fraud. The legal jurisdiction you chose no longer applies. According to you. Wonder how my bank manager would react to that approach? I borrowed £20,000. Now it's a problem. So I'll tell him that I'm reducing the debt to £1,400. I like that. Must get off to the bank! And I can go further. When I don't feel like paying, I won't. And as for my income? Well, when I borrowed I said my income was £32,000 a year. Never goes down. Always goes up. After 5 years I'm, 'earning' £37,000. Except I'm not. Circumstances have changed. I'm now getting paid £30,000 a year. Can't tell the bank that. I'll have to lie. Does this sound familiar?

Say what you want to say, but your pessimistic assessment of the robust economic growth in Argentina is proof positive that President Cristina Fernandez de K. is right on track to bring her country to the forefront of modern Peronist social development and progress that considers helping the poorest segments of Argentine society enjoy equally the bountiful wealth of the country!

Sep 29th, 2014 - 05:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Brian, The Argentine government is willing to allow you colonists a generous opportunity to join the motherland and is extending an olive branch of peace.
London 28 September, 14 (Reuters )
Though a newly negotiated debt swap with the Russian Federation, an Argentine government spokesperson elaborated that Aerolineas Argentinas would be acquiring three Tupolev 154 modern aircraft to service the newly announced route between Buenos Aires and Mt. Pleasant. With a cruising speed of 975 kilometres per hour (606 mph), the time proven and reliable Tu-154 is one of the fastest civilian aircraft in operation which has a range of 5,280 kilometres (3,280 mi). Capable of operating from unpaved and gravel airfields, it was widely used in extreme Arctic conditions where other airliners were unable to operate and where service facilities were very basic.
Alicia Castro, Ambassador to the United Kingdom in the post meeting conference, also mentioned that current plans of Aerolineas Argentinas changeover to an exclusive Russian built fleet for Aerolineas Argentinas is part of the current government’s strategy to offset trade swap in goods instead of depending on obtaining international credit allowing for a complete modernization of the fleet.
“The TU154 new service will prove that Argentina is committed to its territorial inhabitants best needs and remains serious about its promises for a peaceful solution with an opportunity to improve communications and the quality of life to the Islanders.”
I don't know if eliminating service from LAN Chile is a good idea, but it seems so sincere... Plus, maybe this is the time to give CFK another chance to show that she only has the islander's best interests at heart.
Brian, please share your comments.

@19 I'm not a colonist, if I am then so are you, calling that is insulting, my family has lived here for almost 150 years making this my country and home.
Sep 29th, 2014 - 06:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why would we give Argentina the monopoly over flights to and from the islands? Look how that turned out in '82. Our countries did cooperate in the past, most notably under President Menem, we cooperated in fisheries management, but Nestor Kirchner threw out these deals and ever since Argentina has constantly bullied and threatened us. You have arrested ships in international waters, threatened to arrest people who work in the fishing and oil industry, accused the British or 'militarizing' the south atlantic (the only reason the base is here is because of Argentine aggression). Forced cruise ships to avoid the falklands (which has cost many people a lot hear). You will not accept ships flying the falkland flag, and harass those who fly the British ensign. And worst of all, you refuse to accept us as a legitimate people, calling us squatters and colonist even though we have been here for over a CENTURY!!
So basically, at this moment in time, no, we want nothing from your country, certainly not under the tin pot dictator. We will never trust your country until you recede your claim to my home and stop bullying us.

Sep 29th, 2014 - 07:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No insult was meant, but perhaps we should use the USA term: “Illegal Alien” instead. It's not your fault that your forefathers illegally occupied Las Malvinas and certainly the Argentine government made a few public relations errors in the 1980's, but this is the new era where instead of being forcibly resettled, the CFK government is offering amnesty and naturalization for the assimilation and political as well as cultural indoctrination to Argentine assimilation.
24 Chicureo, and is not your fault your forefathers exterminated the indigenous population, so by your reasoning you have no right to Argentina, is that what you are saying. And even if we did 'illegally occupy the Falklands, that was 1833, so we have a right to say what happens to our country, we are in the same situation by your logic. And actually the civilian population stayed in 1833, only the garrison was expelled, the last woman of that population to die is buried in Stanley cemetery.
Sep 29th, 2014 - 07:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have never understood Argentinas position on the falklands, you have held de facto control for little over 2 years in 2 centuries, to bring up territorial grievances from the 1800's is stupid and dangerous, by your logic peru and bolivia should be one country again.
Also, have you ever been here, or have any intention to visit? Should you illegally take my country and home, would wish to live here? What do you even know of this place? And please do not call me an illegal alien, i have lived here my whole life, it is my home, not yours.

Therefore the alleged inheritance from Spain and the alleged usurpation of Argentine settlers is all irrelevant because of the UN Charter, a constitutional treaty that confirms that 'the wishes of the inhabitants are paramount' All backed up by 4 ICJ Advisory Opinions and 1 Judgment that state or confirm that 'the right to self-determination is applicable to ALL NSGTs.' Add 'immemorial possession' 'extinctive prescription' and Argentina's acquiescence - its failure to bring its case to the PCIJ / ICJ during the past 92 years means that Argentina does not have a sovereignty case.

Sep 29th, 2014 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My apologies for possibly offending you. It's typically common for imperialist governments to politically brainwash their colonists into believing their legitimacy while illegally occupying lands that they had forcibly seized.
Anyway, your future will greatly be improved with the new air links to the mainland. You will not need to carry a passport to visit your legitimate homeland as the Argentinian government would issue complementary citizenship to all legitimate inhabitants of the islands. (You would also be allowed for the interim to retain your current passport.). Also, the advantages of a direct Buenos Aires - “Port Stanley” route would provide:
1. Lower Airfares.
2. Faster access to international routes.
3. Increased tourism to boost the islands economy.
4. It's highly doubtful the aircraft would be a target of asset seizures.
5. No longer having to put up with those obnoxious Chileans in Punta Arenas and Santiago...

“The Malvinas cause is the symbol of national unity and will only come to an end when Argentina has the definitive and full possession of the Islands, which includes air and ship services. “ said President Cristina Fernandez “is prepared to exhaust all resources”. The Malvinas dispute will not be over until Argentina has full and definitive possession of the Malvinas and the Argentine flag flies in the Islands.”

Argentina Found in Contempt by N.Y. Bond Fight Judge
By Bob Van Voris Sep 29, 2014 1:16 PM PT Bloomberg
Argentina has been found in contempt of court by a U.S. judge overseeing a bond dispute between the South American nation and hedge funds holding defaulted bonds.
U.S. District Judge Thomas Griesa in Manhattan made the ruling today and said he’d decide on a penalty later.
Investment firms led by Paul Singer’s Elliott Management Corp. urged the judge to find Argentina in contempt for failing to abide by his orders to pay the defaulted debt. A contempt ruling undermines “the dignity of foreign states,” Argentina said in urging Griesa to deny the hedge funds’ request.
