Lagarde is a French crook, still awaiting a decision on her.
Dec 06th, 2014 - 10:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0At least some members of the Argentine government still have their reputations intact.
Pity about the peronistas scum.
@2. Which 'members of the Argentine government'? I was under the impression that the opposition weren't members of the criminal gang (i.e. argie 'government'). Are there any members of the gang that aren't criminals or corrupt? Let's see their personal assets. How many 'friends' don't appear in court? Where has all the money come from? And the UN Special Rapporteur from argieland is 'responsible' for torture? Not bad. He's probably tortured many. But isn't this argie supposed to stop torture? Not too good then. Has he been told what to do? Who to criticise? Just ban them from everywhere except their own countries. Let them correct their own first.

Oh, how do you solve a problem like María?
More fascist overtones I believe.
I believe the Argentine inflation statistics are completely truthful...
Dec 06th, 2014 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0...then again, I believe in unicorns, trolls, fire breathing dragons and he solidity of the Argentine Peso...
I find it a show of incredible immaturity and ignorance of place that Chichureo launches all this lofty, holier-than-thou opinions on all that is supposedly wrong with Argentina, is if he was from Norway or Hong Kong or something (and not even them are THAT perfect to be so blatantly lordly and think they smell like freshly cut genetically enhanced roses). But he is from Chile, a country that for all his guised efforts to show otherwise, is STILL A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY, and still has tons of shantytowns when one simply takes the “alternative” route from Santiago Airport. He speaks of Argentina as a “20 times worse than France” neighbor, and of his beloved Chile as some castillian UK (as if being like the UK is somehow something to vaunt given their history of colonialism and imperialism). So exactly where does he think he has the right to be so caustically supercilious?

Dec 07th, 2014 - 06:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Unicorns, trolls and fire breathing dragons are totally believable.
But you just had to branch out into a silly bout of fantasy when you mentioned a stable Argentine peso.
Ozzer dollar: lost 22% of value.
Dec 07th, 2014 - 07:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0I mean let's face it Chiceuro.
Dec 07th, 2014 - 05:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Unicorns live longer than this Argentine peso has been around.
I think the Arg currency gets a new look and new name about every decade. So it won't be long now....

Dec 07th, 2014 - 06:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Sorry I am late in replying: you are of course correct, it is the opposition.
Giorgio C. Tsoukalos - have you no sense of humour? Why not combat the abuse you are getting by showing a bit of typical Argentine arrogance?
Dec 07th, 2014 - 06:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't know why both Arg and IMF are dragging out the inevitable?
Dec 07th, 2014 - 07:14 pm - Link - Report abuse 045 Days after their next meeting about the Rg lies the IMF will be forced to move to suspend their membership.
Everyone knows it
Such a silly game they're all playing
I wish to apologize to all the unicorns and fire breathing dragons by my malicious slander by associating them with the Argentine Peso. It was beneath common decency and I'm very ashamed.
Dec 09th, 2014 - 01:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And yes, I live in one of those horrible shacks surrounding Santiago living in a terrible country that my afternoon will be so depressing as I will probably have to resort to just eating a dismal snack queso de cabra pimenton with jamon Serrano and wash it down with a Carmenere crying in my sorrows as I live in a “third world” country... Oh the sadness...
