    Everyday day in and day out it is proved that this administrations corruption knows no bounds.
    Why is the public so apathetic?
    Stupidity?
    Laziness?
    Just as corrupt?

    Argentina will continue to get poorer and dumber with every generation until they start behaving like responsible adults.

    And what are people like nino Pablo doing?

    Nothing, except complaining, congratulating each other how clever they are for seeing through CFK's deceit, but that's it.

    Oh, and venting their anger towards the British of course - everybody knows the UK and the Falklands are trying to screw Argentina.

    If proven to be true, then a nice little spell in prison should help..

    “a society or partnership exists when two persons have a common interest, which is not the case” between Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Baez...

    And then...

    The companies under his name have been involved in civil engineering (roads, bridges, highways, etc.) and even in building or reforming many of the Kirchner family properties in Santa Cruz...

    Well, there you go. There is no “common interest”.

    Baez interest is in maintaining a monopoly on over-priced Government construction projects.

    Kirchners interst is getting new mansions built and renovated for free.

    Hence, no “common interest”.

    I think I can see Singer in the distance!

    Surely he will be just as entitled to that money as TMBOA? After all, he owns La Perra now!

    Big question. What's in Nestors tomb that it has a heavily armed guard 24/7?

    I suspect you might be right about that. That is one freaky story.

    No, I think it might have everything to do with Maximus Prattus Kirchner arranging for all the families safes and strong rooms to be emptied just as Bug Eye's tomb was finished.

    It was reported so by Clarin at the time.
