Argentina imposes even tougher controls on foreign trade and currencies
The Argentine government has strengthened its control over the expenditure and income of currency in foreign trade through the creation of the Tracking and Tracing of Foreign Trade Transactions Unit, responsible for monitoring “prices and quantities of exported and imported goods and services, as well as foreign currency income/expenditures.” Read full article

Nov 18th, 2014 - 07:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0We Argentines need to eschew the outside world, and learn to have no foreign influence whatsoever.
What are you talking about you have no foreign influence whatsoever at the moment
Nov 18th, 2014 - 08:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Why are you so afraid of the world outside fortress Argentina? Think maybe it might be better than what is happening here? People might find out the truth?

Cue manufacturing and what remains of the small importers grinding to a halt.

#1 this is good news for shitballs who hang around the the hairs of assholes, like your tranny boi. However this is bad news for those who work.....and that is getting less and less these days in Argentina.
Nov 18th, 2014 - 02:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1. Influence? Indeed. Encounter an argie and it's 'backs to the wall'! So glad you're a target. Bonfire Night is any time WE choose.
Nov 18th, 2014 - 02:43 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This is how hitler and the Nazi party took control, take away a little bit of freedom a bit at a time, by the time anyone realises what freedoms they have left it is too late.
Nov 18th, 2014 - 02:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0On another note, good luck to Portugal tonight against Argentina, where are they playing again.....Oh no, Argentina are notionally the home side, does this mean they will try and claim sovereignty over Old Trafford at the next C24.
I like it! Onward into oblivion!

Nov 18th, 2014 - 04:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Probably seen as more of a quaint outback redneck from a very backwards nation. Money isn't anything. You know the saying: you can put lipstick on a pig...
This is what I mean:
“The United States and other nations overrode host Australia's attempts to keep climate change off the formal agenda. Australia is one of the world's biggest carbon emitters per capita.”
What an absolute and historic humiliation for Ozzer!!! In more than one way: not only do they go down as being against any environmental protections whatsoever and as outback rednecks, but they get stuffed in their own home!! Imagine making a gathering at home and you demand “no sweets, they are evil”, and everyone shows up with cakes and cookies anyway!
Ozzer's image has been thoroughly trashed this week. Not to speak of how it is now public how they treat muslims in their immigration process. Not that far away as Jews were treated in German cities circa 1938.
Soon it will be the 'Fair Price Police', just like Venezuela. The shopkeepers won't restock because they can't sell at a loss, the government won't repatriate the income of the airlines, so they will stop flights and on, and on, it will go.

Nov 19th, 2014 - 05:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Always remember, kurepi, you killed 90% of all males in Paraguay, including children. No one, and I mean NO ONE, is more racist than you. Even the Nazis could not come up with a figure like that. Here's to the day you are shot for your shoes, not because they are so expensive at that size, but for the fact that after the rioters are done eating you, there will be more shoe leather to boil and eat. ;)
Such a dignified response!
Nov 19th, 2014 - 06:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0First, “I” (as in me myself, obviously), killed 90% of Paraguayan males “and children”, because Paraguayans just don't know when to stop fighting. Maybe you should have called for peace.
Also, lets remember, as usual, that Argentina was not at war with you, YOU were at war with Brazil and Uruguay. Then, you decided to invade us, after being warned not to.
Ironically enough, who was the biggest backer of Paraguay before the war ??? THat's right, the Brutish! Then, when Argentina entered the war, they bravely “switched” sides seeing where the wind was blowing. Which is why after the war they invested here and not there. The ultimate opportunists which is why I laugh when they claim WE argies owe them for their investment.
As for my shoes, I have a very large foot, yes. Especially for my body size, I am not too proud of that, and I have to get some rather large shoes. Yes the joke that I use too much leather resources is one I've heard dozens of times. What I have not heard is someone called for my shooting. That is a first and you must be so proud.
Dignified as you deserve, so glad it elicited such a cri de coeur. The British stood against you in Paraguay. Missiones was never yours, you simply claimed it. I have no problem calling for you being shot for your shoes, anymore than you have a problem posting the dreck than you do on this block. Suck it up punk, there are people who would rejoice at your demise, and they are not alone. ;)
Nov 19th, 2014 - 07:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0Can we get back to the subject at hand.
Nov 19th, 2014 - 02:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Can someone explain to me why Argentina would want to implement controls on foreign currencies coming into their country when it is in such dire straights or is that in as a face saver as it is only really concerned with slowing capital flight.

Nov 19th, 2014 - 02:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So what you want for Argentina is that it become like Cuba...no influence from anywhere, no access to the internet, and without a clue as to what is happening outside your borders...
Careful what you wish for...it's already happening.

Nov 19th, 2014 - 03:01 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Apparently not fast enough... ;)
Argentina is far more resourceful in resources and people than Cuba and North Korea combined, and that's even if we just compare ONE argentine province. Argentina is at least 10 times bigger than either.
Nov 19th, 2014 - 03:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Aren't you the one who says to make lemonade out of lemons? Well I do. Foreigners are a lethal threat to us: they hate us, see us as inferior, and try to screw us at every opportunity. Have tried to do it since 1810.
If foreigners where nice, dignified, friendly people, perhaps things would be different. But you are not. You are evil and minatory, wish us ill and woe.
@22
Of course the British originally stood against Argentina in the war. The British have always wanted to destroy us, which is why we hate them and treat them for what they are. But when the outcome was becoming clear, did they send their mighty armies to SAVE YOU??? Instead of taking it out on the country YOU attacked (and then retaliated, surprise surprise), maybe you should go have a chat with those wonderful allies who dumped you in your hour of need... because as I have always told you, the British think you are not worthy of their sight. You are not Anglo, after all.
I don't post dreck, just the sometimes “scratchy to the skin” truth.

Nov 19th, 2014 - 04:23 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This article is about purifying Argentina. Unwanted foreign currencies should be outlawed. However, I have serious reservations about it being enforced by a politician. On that I part ways.
“Foreigners are a lethal threat to us: they hate us, see us as inferior, and try to screw us at every opportunity. Have tried to do it since 1810. ”
Nov 19th, 2014 - 05:39 pm - Link - Report abuse 0This statement says more than any post you've ever made. I will never understand what is wrong with “your kind”. I am happy I have never met your kind in all of my times in Argentina. Who the fuck bred you? We all know what form of indoctrinational education you acquired.
#30 it looks so like hitler youth style indoctrination. My guess is that he has had more of a political than classical education. That is to say he has been educated to parrot back what his masters want him to say. Should the government change their outlook he will be recalled to be reeducated or if that does not work be shot in the head.

Nov 19th, 2014 - 08:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Whatever his source of indoctrination, it bears little relevance to reality. In another thread, he tried to tell me that the parties in the civil war at the start of the republic had the exact opposite political positions then they actually had. He claimed the Federalists were open to foreign trade and investment, and the Unitarians were xenophobic exclusionists who wanted to shut foreigners out of the country, and went on to say that he supported the Unitarians and that they lost the civil war. On every point this is the exact opposite of what happened. Either he is woefully misinformed by the public education system (founded by the Unitarian Sarmiento who advocated recruiting Anglo and German immigrants,) or willfully lying to a despised foreigner who could not possibly know the facts about his country, at least in his mind. My guess is the only thing that will cure him is a Mariano Acha sendoff (know who he was troll?.) It wouldn't hurt to have a placard affixed to the pole that reads “Asesinado por su zapatos.” ;)
“and income of currency”

You mean yourself? because you do NOT live in Argentina.
When I challenged you to name the streets in Mendoza, which were under repair, you immediately disappeared.
Thus you do NOT live in Mendoza.

When are you going to realize that the only people affected by your irrational beliefs, are you and your type ? You're going overboard when you claim that foreigners, which you hate so much, are a lethal threat to Argentina ....what bull...the lethal threat to Argentina is sitting in the Casa Rosada. And don't kid yourself, “foreigners” have better things to do than to waste time being concerned with Argentina's internal problems.
I have several Argentine friends, a few who still live in Argentina, others who've moved out....all normal, level-headed, hard workers....and what's best, successful. They bear no grudges against foreigners. Sounds like your resentment is based on something other than the mere fact a person is a foreigner....it's resentment against anyone who has been / is successful ......something you, obviously aren't.
I'm sick and tired of seeing the same shite in Brazil.....a kind of (PT influenced) division between the 'haves' and 'have nots'.......the 'have nots' resent the success of those who 'have', regardless of the fact the the latter had to work hard to get there - (excluding politicians, of course) - and the easiest way for the 'have nots' to express their revolt, is to find someone else to blame for their misfortunes. I know you won't agree with one iota I've written, but quite frankly, I , a foreigner, couldn't care less.
