Cristina Fernandez challenged to show her law degree and Timerman described as a 'traitor'
A colloquium sponsored by an Argentine business grouping, IDEA, that has been critical of the government of Cristina Fernandez, but in a framework of moderation and self containment, turned into a students' open assembly when a constitutional law professor gave a speech on the rule of the law, called on President Cristina Fernandez to show her law degree and described minister Hector Timerman as a 'traitor' of the essence of Judaism for having reached an agreement with Iran.

Oct 25th, 2014 - 10:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0I see a “helpful” tax inspection coming, followed by a jail sentence for tax evasion.
Finally. Someone is speaking out, including Marcelo Tinelli. The government is not happy I am sure...what kind of hell will they bring down now?
Oct 25th, 2014 - 11:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0The gov't is falling apart, you can't run Argentina without a strong Prez, this kind of outburst shows that people aren't afraid of her any longer.
Oct 25th, 2014 - 11:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0I've never thought she'd make it through her term.
Watch what happens after Jan.
It says a great deal that there was 'several minutes standing ovation and applause for Sabsay'. Bravery all round. Who knows how many Campora were there?

Sounds like the man is tired of being forced to make “protection payments.”
Finally an Argentinian steps up. Well done!
Oct 25th, 2014 - 01:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sure Maximo will be knocking up a fake certificate on the computer for his Mama.
Oct 25th, 2014 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why do Argentine trolls object to people commenting on an English language message board that is here for that exact reason; for us to comment on the news stories posted here? If they can't take the criticism maybe they should not read the comments.
Unless he is able to reference history correctly, this man would be a danger to the Falkland Islands, unless he would be sensible enough to talk with them, get trade and therefore make money out of them.
Oct 25th, 2014 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0For Argentina's sake this sounds like a guy that could face up to their problems and sort them out.
Though of course a more successful Argentina is less likely to use the Falklands a s a diversion for their own failure, and perhaps the guy will even see sense.
Of course he may not be a danger to the Islanders if he can tear himself away from the flawed mantra that ignores history and UN regulations, he may not be a danger.
One thing's for sure, he would not make Argentina such a joke as they are now, and for him the thought of the world champion salad dodger taking over his country must be abhorrent, as Argentina would need plane loads of food aid just to feed Maximo.
Still, if Maximo got power it would ensure the Falkland Islands press on with a bright future.
Glad to see he told Gollum like it is and it will be interesting to see if the 'law degree' appears.

Oct 25th, 2014 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good man!
The 'Thinking people of Argentina' are waking up as they see CFK's weakness - now to stop the power vacuum from being filled by Mad Max or other Peronists!!
Oct 25th, 2014 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Good job Sabsay - you are doing what is best for your country - what the government SHOULD have been doing !

If this guy has life insurance, even Donald Trump could not afford to the monthly payments from now on.
But I am with you guys at 1, 2, 3 and 4 . This guy is showing Incredible bravery by speaking out.
4 articles in the BA Herald with government goons attacking the IDEA symposium but nothing about the symposium itself....

Cristina Fernandez challenged to show her law degree [ she cant ]
Oct 25th, 2014 - 06:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and Timerman described as a 'traitor' [ he is ]
When I read about this, I gave the guy a 3 minute standing ovation also. This is going to put the heckles up the olg hag. I think you will find more and more people speaking out and distancing themselves from the sinking K boat.
Oct 25th, 2014 - 07:53 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Not sure why Macris is such a soft cock and not doing the same kind of speeches.
Sabsay should be encouraged and supported by right-thinking people both home and abroad.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 12:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Respect for Sabsay.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 12:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0Wonder how many millions in argentina are like minded, but frightened to say?

”I'm ashamed of the foreign minister we have. He is a traitor.................. and I'm saying this as a Jew, and Timerman a Jew reached a memorandum of understanding with him”.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 12:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Well said Sir! It's good to see that an Argentine has the courage to call out their loathsome foreign minister.
Yes he is a loathsome creature. Betrays his race as a Jew and an Argentine. .Herr Timmerman von Ribbentrop? Perhaps as a Nazi he should recall the fate of Ribbentrop. Sentenced to be hanged at the Nuremburg Tribunals.

Oct 26th, 2014 - 02:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0this guy is a good constitucionalista.
now, he is not the only one who speaks out against the govt.
where the f/ck did you get it?
and those public discourses are more pour la galerie.
the ones who are really fighting against government´s corruption are judges like fernández and herrero, some prosecutors like campagnoli, journalists like alconada mon, etc.
Come on IDEA, What the fuck are you talking? Judaism is not the same to the fucking everything on the earth. Timmerman play the argentinean goverment game. He is supposed to be a spokeman of a Goverment and its diplomacy statements. Please, don't be confusing. The early bird catches the worm!
Oct 26th, 2014 - 03:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Cristina is not a lawyer as sure as Obama was not born in the U.S.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 06:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0And the troll army squeals in delight! That's it, the Kirchners' end is near (again)!
If this is all the Argentine opposition can come up with, then the elections in 2015 will be a breeze.
What is paulcedron doing to bring down Kirchner? Nothing as far as I can see.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 07:44 am - Link - Report abuse 0Enrique clearly supports the Kirchner crew, as he is entitled to. He is willing to debate. To stand his ground, to fight his corner.
paulcedron, who claims to hate the Kirchner crew spends all his time attacking Brits who have very little influence or interest in his future.
Why don't you debate with Enrique paulie?
Scared of a real man? Scared of someone who is obviously so far above you, intellectually speaking?
@27. Who's writing your material now, paulie? Because it's getting more and more disjointed and unintelligible. Not to mention desperate. Have you ever read the requirement at the top of this COMMENTS section - Comments must be in English? But we're not really bothered if statements are intended for the public gallery. It's what Kirchner, Timerman and all the rest do. Haven't yet found an argie politician, minister, government employee or troll that ever tells the truth. Methinks you protest too much.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 10:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0@29. What are you trying to say? Obama was born in Honolulu! Two years after Hawaii became the 50th state of the Union. Wouldn't bother about it, Enrique. We're well aware that the argie population doesn't have enough attention span to remember what it did yesterday. If they did, Peronism would be OUT. The people would remember what a crook Kirchner (deceased) was. Anyone found that million US dollars nicked from Santa Cruz yet? And that Kirchner (slut) is doing even better. 16 million dollars she's thieved so far, right? And how much has the fat slob had? Timerman and Puricelli have both wanted to start wars. The joke is that they wanted to start wars with the nation that was victorious in '82 and is now better equipped. Couldn't launch those 200 cruise missiles from submarines in '82. Or the air-launched Storm Shadow. A Typhoon can carry 4 of those. Such a useless, incompetent 'country'. How's the debt going?
Anti-democratic scum the lot of you. Pathetic.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0HOO-RAH Sabsay......all the way and do not let up!!
Oct 26th, 2014 - 02:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0EM-----Obamas mother is a US born national. Regardless of where he was born he would be a US citizen. Just as millions who are born to military members serving overseas, they too are US citizens. But because you geography sucks........FYI......Hawaii is the USA.
The birthers consipiracy is up there with the moon landing, JFK never died and all the others. You give too much credit to bureaucracies being able to maintain a secret.
Now they need to start demanding how she became a billionaire while serving the public!!!! Baby steps.....baby steps.
#33 Captain
Oct 26th, 2014 - 04:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 0A few polite corrections...
She has never served the public.
She's not a billionaire unless you denote her wealth in Pesos.
There IS credible reasons to question that Hawaii is actually the birthplace of Obama.
Nostrils : Anti democratic scum ? You are right I suppose .
Oct 26th, 2014 - 04:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is so democratic even the dead get to vote ...
But only for the FPV .....
Even Wikipedia is unable to say that Cristina got a law degree.
Oct 26th, 2014 - 04:56 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They sat that she 'studied law',
Pretty much the same as Dilma. She never got her postgrad degree in Economics ... and it shows.
Sounds like Venezueala's new ambassador to the UN. The presidential princess, (as she is known there), also has trouble saying exactly what she qualified in, and when, and where....

SNOTTY & EL NINO
Both are racist Argie-Supremists!!
Both are braggarts!!
Both have no future - sold out by their Peronist Government and CFK
Both blame the British for all their troubles - just like the government tells them to.
SNOTTY: Loves CFK and Peronist Isolationist mantra - will never hear ill of CFK - he loves her.
- He thinks the Falklanders are living on their own land, are by rights British, and should be left alone.
EL NINO “the sh!t”: SAYS he hates CFK and the Peronists.
- he is a Malvinista who believe the Falklands are Argentine by right, regardless of facts.
Both say they are CORRECT , and PROUD ARGENTINES.
Which one is “right”???
We laugh at both of them, they're idiots!!
LOL LOL LOL
“Argentine Brothers!”

surely the poor thing cannot understand that in real countries (not in colonies) there are several opinions, streams of thought, etc and that they can coexist in perfect harmony.
not a surprise though.
what can you expect from a fatty old fart, from a pair of islets ruled by a viceroy who was elected by a 150 yo queen, eh?

Oct 26th, 2014 - 10:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Looks like the sun is starting to rise over Argentina.
Oct 27th, 2014 - 01:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0Chico I respectfully disagree:
Oct 27th, 2014 - 01:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0A countries executive is “supposed” to serve the public, we we are both correct.
Billionaire or millionaire remains to be a bone of contention. One thing is certain she has more than her declared assets.
As for Obama and Hawaii, even IF he was not born there and I find that hard to swallow. Knowing how my government work, though I cannot speak for the Hawaiian government, keeping a secret only works if one person knows it and he is dead.
Art II sec 1 defines the qualifications of the President and Vice President. The primary being a “Natural Born Citizen” which is defined as ”citizen rights at birth.....and nt defined as location of birth. Senator Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada to a father of a Cuban born and a mother born in Delaware, USA. He is a natural born citizen, just as children born to parents in the military are natural born USA citizens. I choke at the thought but Cruz can run legally for president. So even if Obama (and this in no way supports his policies) was not born in Hawaii, but he was born on Africa or even bum fuck Egypt.....his mother was born in Kansas. But there remains a group of Americans who believe otherwise. I am not one of them........nor do I believe in any of those conspiracy theories.
Back on point.......I really give two pieces of feces about Kirchner because she is not my nightmare.....but I would love to see her response.
PS
My condolences to Brazil.....probably better because she will be sailing through a perfect economic storm and she will be at the helm.
Captain, yes but she'll probably sink with the helm as well...

Just for the general information, this is Professor Sabsay's opinion of the Falklands claim:
Oct 27th, 2014 - 02:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Leading Argentine constitutional lawyer Daniel Sabsay is one of several thousand signatories to an open letter which calls for Argentina to consider the rights and opinions of the Falkland Islanders.
He believes the government's sudden interest in the Falklands is a deliberate distraction from Argentina's increasing problems at home. “This conflict is a mask, something that is useful to hide other problems we have.”
