    Berni's involvement is reminiscent of the fox providing security for the henhouse.

    Demonstrating is a right in democracy and it feels good knowing those who attending today's march in Argentina will be able to do so without fear.
    Now, rallying behind a group of prosecutors some of whom have been seriously questioned on their performance regarding the AMIA investigation--that would be something else. Take my name out please.

    3 Enriques- propagandist & fool

    1) This is a March For Justice for NISMAN

    NISMAN was MURDERED
    as he was about to
    Present evidence publicly, that would accuse CFK of corruption and Criminal coverup of the AMIA killings of Argentine citizens.

    2) ANYONE can protest a crime.

    Prosecutors follow EVIDENCE and lay legal criminal charges, accordingly.

    Your Government is implicated.

    The evidence will be investigated in Court, as well as the guilt or innocence of those charged.

    “Take my name off the list”

    Are you AFRAID to confront your Government??

    Is your GOVERNMENT AFRAID of an investigation???

    What kind of Government would discourage a peaceful demonstration demanding the TRUTH??

    Sounds like YOU, on behalf of CFK, are trying to discredit the Demonstration and the demonstrators themselves, while sowing fear and intimidation.

    3) Argentines, and others need to ask how free your society is, and what your government has to lose by allowing a peaceful public protest to keep this issue alive.

    NISMAN was MURDERED as he was about to present evidence publicy.inform yourself before writting. Nisman presented in a judge his denounce a wednesday (600 pages are in a judge) and was going to the congress a monday. He did want it to mantain secrecy to discuss in the congress.
    The gov gains nothing with this death. Many others yes.
    Analise the calls of Nisman that day, specially journalists and of intelligence or whoever did call those days to him.

    How do YOU know about all this stuff ???

    Do you have special access to the investigation??

    NISMAN made it clear that he felt CFK and her government were guilty of criminal corruption and obstruction of Justice.

    Before he could formally present the evidence, he was MURDERED.

    The government then said it was part of a coup against CFK.

    Then they put the spin on it that he charges were insubstantial.

    The murder proved to be a good way to intimidate 4 other Prosecutors and prevent them from carrying the charges forward.

    So much for your theory - Peronist

    Are you qualified to draw any conclusions??

    What is the source of these recordings?

    Are they complete?

    Why would the Police, Investigators, Government release recordings before the investigation is concluded?? - thats not professional, nor ethical.
    Not credible at this point.

    Sounds like that's what the Peronists want people to believe - and yet, we know it is not over - there is still the AMIA coverup, and now the Nisman coverup.

    “Not a Kirchnerist” ??

    If you're not, you MUST be incredibly stupid or ridiculously naive and gullible.

    those recordings were first released in an very opposite radio program (radio mitre. does it sound to you). not in official channels.
    opposite newspapers have access to testimonies of “testigos” of the scene and put them in front page.
    the amia covered up of more than 21 years began with Galeano, and menem. Go and search for that and tell us your conclusions.

    “Toy Tempest”????

    Hmmm, Pablo Malvinista Cedron calls me that too.

    What a coincidence!!

    As I said, is it complete?

    What is the context?

    You'll have to do better than posting in Spanish

    I've never heard of a 'silent protest' before. I think it's a very effective way of making a point. That it was bucketing down with rain makes it even more eloquent.

    I hope people take notice !!!

    The K's couldn't care less about NISMAN now he's dead.

    They don't want the March to happen though.

    Argentina is 107/175 Global Curroption Index (No. 1 being the most clean)
    https://www.transparency.org/cpi2014/results

    How can anyone trust what comes out of the mouths of Argentine politicians/state funcionaries?

    over to you Enrique, is this is what you are so proud of?

    Enjoy Canada, and don't forget that Thank-You letter to HM The Queen. Publish it here if you like, so everybody can see how grateful you are to be living in a Commonwealth Nation and not Villa 31....

    Its peculiar. The Argie Trolls enjoy showing off that they live in Miami, or elsewhere in the US, especially to 'lesser Trolls' still living in ArgLand.
    They feel it gives them some kind of elevated status, or even, credibility.

    They'll brag about it, before claiming they are Argentine supporters, and then running down every US American who arrived before them, bitch about the government, the negroes, the crime, social policies, etc.

    Its as though, they all know they would all be glad to get to the States, and NOT living in Argentina, but it is an unspoken truth.
    They might want to live in Miami, but they can't give the game away, they MUST wear their Argentine patriotism on their sleeves, and they are required to criticise their new home, so as not to look unpatriotic (read 'traitorous') in the eyes of other Argies.

    Tell me it isn't so!!

    They are so frickin' confused!!

    @16
    You are so right!!

    They despise most what they can't have and/or support what they escaped from....
    The dichotomy of fantasing of their 'socialist paradise' yet facing up to the mess they are really in... whilst enjoying/dreaming of a genuine meritrocal democracy.... well, that just sends them all kinds of crazy!
    arf!
    They are desperate to leave, but can't admit it.
    Or,
    Escaped, and guilt-ridden.

    Enrique?

    How's it working out for you?

    @7 “Peronist”

    I think that Argentina will not truly turn the corner until the damage of Peronism is recognised and Peronist becomes a dirty word, rather like “Nazi” did in Germany.

    I believe Argentina is at the point where is these people want to make a change to the nation, why now must accept injury, blood and death because pacifistic marches are accomplishing nothing. Freedom and democracy is expensive and all yours for taking if you are prepared to pay for it. If not, don't waste your time and stay in from the rain and allow the cancer to continue spreading.

    Good luck with that. I think the protest will be more powerful if it remains peaceful. I hope it will go the same way communism did in Eastern Europe and effectively run out of steam as it fails economically. There is no doubt that K's Peronist experiment is grinding to a halt economically so the end is inevitably getting closer so presenting a peaceful, sensible alternative will hopefully provide a more convincing option than more of the same, intimidation, threats, corruption etc.
