May 25th, 2015 - 10:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bad day for Uruguay when that happened but easily understood: the demonic triumvirate were scared shitless that the example of Paraguay would be taken up by their own people and they would be dismissed from their posts.
That is likely to happen with DumbAss, 'No Money Pepe' has also gone and TMBOA 'goes' in Jan '16, except she appears to be looking for a puppet to anoint as president, one she can control until Maximus Ptrattus the blimp son and Boss Eyes protégé can take the 'throne' at the next election.
Let's hope they hang her before that.
It does look at if the penny has dropped with the majority of Mercosur members. Kicillof's crazy-arsed economic policies will drag the others back into the dark ages.

My Argentine next door neighbour came over yesterday because he is considering selling the house (that his father 'built' 30 years ago).
All because things are so bad now that the five businesses his family had, went down by two just over a year ago and is now down to one cannot support his extended family much longer. He has to support his 92 YO mother in her apartment as well as financially aiding his older sister who works as a nurse and cannot afford the living expenses now everything is so expensive.
He and his family are lovely people and have tried their best even staying on in 2001 when having sold their house to move into an apartment in BA (in cash because nobody trusted anything else) only to have the money held frozen in their bank account by the government, then AON, the company he worked for as a senior manager had to get rid of the majority of their employees: including him. He had no house, no access to his own money, no job and three small children.
That was when they started to form their own businesses and have existed and grown stronger until TMBOA took over. Nobody can say that this man and his family have let themselves or the country down.
TMBOA has also done her level best to screw Uruguay at every turn, ably assisted by the murdering commie bastard, 'No Money Pepe', who immediately allowed the electricity to flow through the under the Plate cable to keep BsAs going: we have yet to receive a USD for it even though we are in the third year. Not dredging of the Uruguayo channel which has drastically reduced the load capacity of the new grain dock. They are also taking the country to the ICJ over the pulp mill uplift in capacity which was always going to be the case but they 'decided' that the mill polluted the river despite independent analysis to the contrary, they have also banned transhipping of containers from BsAs to MVD, the list goes on.
Hanging is too good for her.
@ ChristR I was just in Argentina for 5 weeks there is no hope that the country will change, football for everyone is the opium of the people and they are demonizing the any candidate that is proposing cut in the social program ARGENTINA is spiraling down to Venezuela standards it will take a little longer but they will gel t there unless there is a Pinochaso like Chile. and they eliminate the left.

That woman is never going to be brought to account. I hear she is going to be elected/designated as a member of that ridiculous talking shop Parlasur and so will not lose her parliamentary immunity from prosecution

EXACTLY!
There are approximately 15M of the idiots who voted for this hag and unless the military take charge, proscribe the Peronistas / Kirchnerism and every other sort of party ON THE PAIN OF DEATH WITHOUT TRIAL, then execute the top 5k or 10k of the government and provable lackeys by virtue of their position the others would soon renounce their 'faith' as this damnable Peronism seems to be.
The argies are cowards and will not stand up to a cohesive force.
Only then will the country even stand a chance.
But, as a realist, do you really think there is any hope of that happening? I do not, regrettably. :o(
President Vázquez has just ignored Cristina since he took office. So much more dignified than Mujica's sycophantic smiles and lip service in public (even if he insult her behind her back). Word is that Vázquez is just going to wait until she leaves. Or as a cancer specialist, does he know something we don't?

Oh, I DO hope so.
Have you noticed how bloated and puffed up her body is just lately? Let us all hope it's fatal for our sake.
