Disclaimer & comment rulesCFK is playing the Blame game again trying to detract her electorate away from the facts - incompetent economic and political governance. Her use of 'in violation of international law' is rich considering her attitude towards the Falkland Islanders and their right to self-determination which Argentina tries to deny. (Laughably). Little wonder why the country is in dire straights.

Sep 30th, 2014 - 11:16 am - Link - Report abuse 01. Blaming the UK for the democratic decision of the Falkland islanders.
2. Blaming the US for decisions of an independent judge.
I think what is at the core of this issue is that Argentina and probably south America as a whole really never understood democracy. But we now see it in Spain too, blocking the the vote of Catalonia like it will make a difference in the long run, demanding control of Gibraltar against their expressed will. We sometimes forget that the hispanic world have only had democracy for a short time.
From a legal aspect, they must surely be screwed, who is going to enter into a contract with them under their law, ie UK, FRENCH, SWISS etc, if they are in contempt of a court elsewhere?

It's one think for a financial body to say you do not respect the rule of law and a totally different thing for a court to declare it.
You can not pick and chose which laws you will respect, it doesn't work that way in the real world it's all or none.
Perhaps that's it, they do not actually live in the real world!

Sep 30th, 2014 - 12:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's Máximo Carlos Kirchner has piled on so much weight that he has fractured both his ankles and remains in hospital after an operation, it was reported today.
The son of the late President Néstor Kirchner and current President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner of the financially troubled nation of Argentina is estimated to have ballooned to 20 stone as a result of fine wining and dining - putting enormous pressure on his feet and legs.
A source who has recently returned to Miami from Buenos Aires said Maximo, believed to be aged 37 is still in hospital under guard from his personal protection team.

What is the point of all of this, Argentina won't be able to issue bonds under US Law while ever they remain in contempt. That means they can try to issue bonds under Argentine law but who in their right mind would buy those without an outrageously high interest rate. In the end, they still remained locked out of capital markets.
Sep 30th, 2014 - 01:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They are trying to frame this as Argentina vs United States. In reality, Argentina issued bonds to private citizens of the world and agreed to settle any disputes in the courts of the United States.

#25 Its subjective, think of it this way, you are buying a car for delivery in 1 week or 1 month but you can't agree on a price because you don't know what the price should be in 1 week, 1 month. Or you wake up in the morning and you don't know how much your bus fare will be that day. We are not there yet but we will get there, the only way to avoid it is to regain access to capital markets and take on debt, or send the country into a spiralling depression.
Sep 30th, 2014 - 02:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I believe there is a middle ground here.
Sep 30th, 2014 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sovereign debtors ought (e.g. Arg, Iceland, Greece, etc) to be able to refinance their delinquent debt , even if it entails giving bondholders a severe haircut. Such debt workouts ought to be negotiated to give the debt restructuring a patina of fairness, not simply dictated on a take it or leave it basis as Arg did in 2005 and 2010. However, even if so dictated, rewrites of debt may be absolutely necessary and beneficial in the long run.
Well drafted collective action clauses that ought to have been included in the original bonds would have prevented the current problem of a small % of holdouts gumming up the works...and perhaps Arg ought to be focused on its lawyers and their malpractice carriers rather than the US govt which supported Arg's position in court.
It's just not realistic to require Arg to repay 100% of the original debt with all interest to the holdouts (incl those similarly situated holdouts waiting in the wings) even though the New York law that Arg's lawyers chose may require such an outcome. The holdouts ought to insist upon a reasonable premium (+actual attny fees) for having had to go through the winning legal process. That position ought to be made public with payment date to be post the RUFI termination date of 12/31. That might go a long way towards resolving this matter on a fair basis, quite apart from the letter of the law. (The law is a ass).
By having both sides dig their heels in is a losing position for both.
p.s. The only benefit to a continuation of the struggle is the post judgment discovery into the ties between Baez and the Kirchners. I have little doubt there is going to be proof of corruption unearthed.

BUENOS AIRES–USA Today 30Sep14 President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has said that her government was applying the “socialist Peronist formula: an abandoned company taken over by the working class,” in reference to last week’s occupation of restaurants belonging to the U.S. fast food giant, the McDonalds Corporation.
Sep 30th, 2014 - 08:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“It’s the government new policy. Any company that is abandoned will be taken over by the working class with the support of the revolutionary Peronist government. Let it be known,” Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said during a cabinet meeting aired Monday on state television channel.
The Argentinian government Saturday announced the “temporary” occupation of the McDonalds restaurants as well as the resumption of serving the public once “operational restrictions” are done away with.
The McDonalds Corporation reported Monday from its U.S. headquarters in Chicago that it had left Argentina due to measures imposed by Fernández's government, economic uncertainty, employment laws and supply interruptions.
President Cristina said that the closure by the multinational was due to the “economic war” on his government by certain players who want to end her mandate, and which, she says, had entered a new phase of “international financial war.”
The U.S. Company said in a statement that for almost three years it was forced to sell over two-thirds of its products at prices determined by the government which led to a huge increase in the costs of production and steady operational losses.
ChrisR, you're dulling my hooks.

He seems to be recovering as the McDonald drive through autoMacs are back in operation.
Why do the USA put up with CFK,
Oct 01st, 2014 - 12:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0Has she something to offer..
One question to the people from the island , uk or wherever you come from ..
Oct 01st, 2014 - 01:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0What opinions do you have about my country ?
I think you see us as the laughing stock of the world...
Frankly, I see it as a tragedy, but then the government interjects an element of bathos, and the whole sad story becomes to all appearance, a Zarzuela. Sad really.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 01:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0USA........you are from Argentina aimee? Only you leadership and the people who believe her.

Oct 01st, 2014 - 01:55 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now she says the terrible gringos are coming to kill her. Not sure why they'd waste the money on the operation, since by all rights, she has to be their best weapon against the Argentine Republic.

If, as the Argentina government says, US Federal Judge Griesa's contempt order is 'baseless, has no impact’ ... why do the members of the Argentina government spend hours and hours and a lot of energy on denying the non-existent impact?
Oct 01st, 2014 - 04:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0Whatever they say, the real world's reactions are always the strongest.

Unfortunately for you and perhaps me, expressing such intolerance where I live, may get you in trouble with the law, it's classed as a racially motivated hate crimes.
Most people here will tell you, that if there is one thing absolutely garaunteed, to get you incarcerated in our enviable prison system, it's that word racial.
Steal, cheat and to some degree cause harm and you will get punished, but stick the word racial in front of it and you are going to prison, quicker than you can say Muslim Extremist!

Oct 01st, 2014 - 06:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Many of us have the utmost respect for the Argentine nation but your government is leading you all into a mire of despair. La Kretina and her cronies have mismanaged everything since the assumption of power by her husband. The blatant corruption seems to be accepted by those her put her into power but the blame is never hers - now the US is to blame for everything.
However, it is reported that her popularity is declining rapidly - maybe the situation can be arrested before it goes further.
With all respect.
(Las Malvinas son territorio británico - nunca han pertenecido a Argentina)
Aimee no one here really blames the people of Argentina. At most those who voted her/them in office, as we do in every nation that votes. You tell us.....will the people of Argentina stop this madness from Kirchner, or will they continue to vote in her cronies?
Oct 01st, 2014 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0We don't blame the people,
Oct 01st, 2014 - 10:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0yet her devoted trolls come here and defend her,
so some ... but not all.

This idiot and her followers makes me feel so ashamed to be argentine. God, i hate this place.

The moderates can be quite decent folk, but the extreme believers deserve a special place in the afterlife...
Define moderate.

Oct 01st, 2014 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Exactly. An extremist is simply a pious Muslim. A moderate is non-pious, non-practicing Muslim.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 06:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I just verified the incredibly low level of professional competency of the legal minds in rotting roadkill. The dark land has been lobbying and praying for the demise of Judge Griesa. Apparently they are totally unaware of the principle of stare decisis and think that the existence of the Judge's decisions are dependent on him remaining in his position. lol.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 10:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, I guess it is the U.S fault for Judge Griesa's decision. His decisions are in accordance with the laws of the U.S. He is a U.S. judge, and we have 3 branches of government. Argentina should read up on the U.S. court system before signing contracts to be under U.S. law.
Oct 01st, 2014 - 11:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Calling the US government responsible is like a criminal in a court saying.....if I get sentenced to prison, it's the police's fault for arresting me.
Oct 02nd, 2014 - 09:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes, I think crows fit the bill very nicely...
Oct 02nd, 2014 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If only we were responsible for his ruling I would be in glory. But, politicians do not have strings on judges like in Argentina.
Oct 02nd, 2014 - 05:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Captain Poppy thanks for the answer and Gordo thanks too
Oct 03rd, 2014 - 01:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Do you think this is going to end ? No this is just the beggining , her cronnies are going to participate the next election so perhaps they will win , it is likely that we would be under kirchner role again ... she wants to be the second rate of eva peron perhaps you know her ..
