For a world in distress, “the answer is Latin America” argues Argentine ambassador in London
The Argentine ambassador in the UK, Alicia Castro, was one of the main speakers invited to an event yesterday which included the discussions “another world is possible” and “against foreign intervention in Latin America”. Dozens of activists from across the UK expressed their support for a range of Latin American causes. Read full article

@4. Reading the various articles, we can see that latam's 'progressive' policies have resulted in falling exports in argieland, Brazil, Uruguay and Venezuela. Industry is failing in argieland, Brazil and Venezuela. Inflation is off the board in argieland and Venezuela.
Jun 06th, 2015 - 12:06 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Try being present at Casto's speech on a spectral plane.
Rejecting austerity and spending cuts is GOOD. How do you get on with your bank manager? Assuming you're old enough to have one. He/she must just love you spending anything you like. We should thank her for clarifying that her country does not pay speculators and usurers. Hang on, almost everyone in the markets for stocks, bonds, commodity futures, currencies, fine art, collectibles, real estate, and derivatives is a speculator. So when argieland offers bonds for sales it's encouraging speculators. But it isn't going to pay. That's fraud. Charging interest is often regarded as usury. Tell your bank manager that. How's your credit card? Mercosur is such a cornerstone of regional unity that most of its members want to do their own thing when it comes to trade.
“Latin America is a region led by revolutionary men and women. Cristina (Fernandez), Dilma (Rousseff) and Michelle (Bachelet)”, all inextricably linked to corruption. That's 'revolutionary'!
Good of her to give 'special mention to the role played in building the region’s unity by Hugo Chávez', who wrecked the economy of Venezuela, alongside Presidents (Brazil) Lula da Silva and (Néstor) Kirchner, also firmly connected to corruption and criminality. Chavez, according to MADurine, is now a little bird. So much easier to shoot.
The woman is certifiably insane. Pandering to the sub-human mentalities of south america. In the penultimate paragraph we can see a list of British loonies. Milne, for example, has been authorititively described as “a Stalinist Rip van Winkle” and a “Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas mouthpiece”.
“We are a region that can offer lessons on economics to the world: ..” Really. Argentina debt free these days?

Alicia Castro is right, but her concepts will never be accepted by those defending a world order that supports a constant transfer of resources from the periphery to the centre.
Jun 06th, 2015 - 05:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Blaming the poor while failing to take responsibility for the recurrent crisis speculative capital causes is the attitude of those who profit of the scheme and their admirers.
Argentina has demonstrated that prosperity with social justice not only are possible; they are complementary.

@20 So why do you live in Canada? It's better in Canada (or Britain or the US or Australia / NZ or even most of the EU) than in Argentina or otherwise you'd move back there. Of course you know that - yet you seek to assuage your moral guilt for abandoning your people by talking up your government. But your government is the problem not the solution so wouldn't you serve those you abandoned better by helping bring an end to Peronism? Anyway, it's none of my business but i just wanted to point out what seems obvious to me.

According to Captain Silver and Redrow, I would need to move back to my home country “to serve those you abandoned” in order to post my thoughts in MercoPress.
I'm impressed.
The few Argentine residents who dare to post here, according to many posters in this forum, are also wrong for other reasons.
Of course it would be easier to challenge a place of residence than to challenge opinions and arguments.
Of course it bothers you that somebody living abroad shows the love for one's home country are for life, without diminishing the qualities of my country of residence.
Of course it feels good to be living abroad and still be able to challenge some foreigners' uninformed comments about a government that has done more than most previous governments the country has known.

Jun 07th, 2015 - 09:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0I just love how the Argentinean education system causes Argentineans just to make stuff up. I guess that is where they are similar to Castro.
Argentina is just becoming irrelevant. They are already irrelevant to the Falkland Islanders. They are becoming increasingly irrelevant to their neighbours who are moving on to greener pastures. And by the number of emigrants appearing countries like mine, very much irrelevant to even their own population who are abandoning their dysfunctional state.
Not pariahs, just irrelevant.
If there is one major task for a state, it is to gain enough power and relevancy to protect and project. By fading into irrelevancy, Argentina is failing at project its own priorities over others and thereby protecting its own country from the influence and power of others.
Friendship is overrated in international relations. But then again, it is hardly surprising that Argentineans think that is important.

I said many years ago, nobody will care if Argentina implodes or just fades away. In every economic crisis they've had, and they've had more than any other country in the past 150yrs, there's always been someone to rescue them, UK IMF USA. Now there's noone. Nobody cares if they survive, they don't produce enough of anything to matter to anyone, they will nor drag down the continent when they implode, they just don't matter.

Not at all. I understand exactly why you left Argentina and are enjoying your new life in a free and successful country. My point is that you continue to support the very regime that reduced your country to the mess it is in and that made you leave. Do you not see a hypocrisy in that?
It's not your love of Argentina I am contesting, it's your support for the system that has so dimished Argentina that seems odd from someone who found they could make a better life elsewhere. It wouldn't be unpatriotic to call for a new political system in Argentina, one that emulates a successful country like Canada.

So you understand you criticise us, you critisise the Falkland Islanders and by implication you criticise Canada which has given you a home far away from the poverty crime and corruption suffered by your countrymen and the hands of their corrupt thieving lying government. You are a hypocrite through and through. If you actually lived in Argentina perhaps you could be forgiven for myopia but you live in a wealthy decent democratic country where people dont buy votes, politicians dont line their pockets at the expense of the poor and dont execute political opponents. Argentinians dont know any different because they live in a practically Marxist state and are bombarded with propaganda. You dont - Hypocrite.

@20. Alicia Castro couldn't be right if she sat on a 12-inch steel spike labelled 'progressive'. 'Progressive' as in spanish or argieish? Both failing. But Britain prospers.
@24. Silly billy. You haven't mentioned a 'fact' yet. 'Ideas' are indeed 'ideas'. I have this 'idea' where argieland is made to pay its debts. And another 'idea' where a British police force, backed up by the SAS, investigates Kirchner. And every other member of the criminal conspiracy of theft. And another 'idea' where anyone found guilty is thrown into deep, dark, rat-infested cells for the rest of their lives and cowardly ex-pats are returned to where they came from. To share the pain.
@25. What a shame. How's argieland doing? So wonderfully.
Building cars? From Brazilian-supplied parts.
Building computers? From foreign-supplied parts.
Building ships? Is that ones that float?
Creating pharma? Why does argieland import so many pharmaceuticals? Argieland imports pharmaceuticals valued at US$2.1 billion every year. And rising.
World financial centre? For advice on avoiding payments on contracts. For evading debts. For talking a way out of the UN Charter. For breaching virtually every feature of international law. For demonstrating how to pretend to be a 'victim' whilst threatening a tiny country, illegally interfering in the domestic affairs of another sovereign country, holding back other countries for its own benefit. Why doesn't some intelligent south american country bomb it? Sorry, I used “intelligent” and “south american country” in the same sentence. Not really possible, is it?

Jun 08th, 2015 - 02:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Quite funny indeed that you all call me a fake, when I have been the most consistent poster in this website for 3 years. My tenets:
Jun 08th, 2015 - 03:02 am - Link - Report abuse 01. The Falkland Islands are British.
2. The Falklanders have the right to choose affiliation.
3. Argentina should leave the Falkland Islands ALONE.
4. Argentina should focus on developing the Antarctic Peninsula, and withdraw from the Antarctic Treaty.
5. Argentina should have no real diplomatic relations with any nation, except basic trade based on balanced trade law (no trade deficits allowed).
6. Foreigners are bad people without exceptions and should be avoided at all costs as they are not decent human beings whatsoever.
Never have deviated from these 6 main tenets of TTT philosophy. That is the opposite of fake, it is steadfast and resolute.
And lastly about my name, also not fake. Or are you people that dim to not see I always choose names that can carry my trademark play-on-word, to mark any posts I write as being from the same “person”? And always have had ONE account.
”Alongside this organisation and others, social movements and trade unions, the Argentine embassy carries works collaboratively in order to broaden their support base for causes like the 'Malvinas Question' and the 'actions of the vulture funds'.'
Jun 08th, 2015 - 03:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Finally, right at the end of the article, her real agenda is revealed. Surprise, surprise.
Who gave Ambassador Castro the authority to speak for all of LA? By its self centered and uncivilised behaviours and attitudes, Argentina has made itself the pariah of LA.
Here we have a country that has demonstrated that it is incapable of working with and thriving in the established world order, so the solution is? Create a new order more to Argentina’s liking, an order where it can borrow but not repay, where its interests always take precedence over others and where it can bully and cajole its smaller neighbours and fulfil its dream of colonial dominance across the South Atlantic and Antarctica with impunity.
Well good luck with that lady! When you lay down with dogs, you get fleas.

Back to relevant conversation now...
@ CD2 and Magnus,
Macri may not have all the solutions, but surely it would be a good idea to elect him - at least it would end the status quo backroom deals of the K's - and shake off the leaches and other blood suckers that feed unseen on the public purse.
It might even reveal some awkward secrets as things unravel, and “financial partners” go unpaid...
@46 So no more international sporting contests like the World Cup, The Rugby Championship, the Olympic Games for Argentina?
Jun 08th, 2015 - 06:58 am - Link - Report abuse 0@TTNostrils, As an outsider whats your opinion of the human race?
Jun 08th, 2015 - 07:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0“...the Argentine embassy carries works collaboratively in order to broaden their support base for causes like the 'Malvinas Question'...”
Jun 08th, 2015 - 08:22 am - Link - Report abuse 0More like the Malvinas Lie. The “question” has already been resolved - there are no Malvinas, it is a fake name used to attempt to seize control and sovereignty of the Falklands from the rightful holders, who have twice defeated physical attempts at usurpation.
Therefore, the “Malvinas Question” is based on a lie. The appropriate title is therefore “The Malvinas Lie”.
@44:
Your first three, and fifth tenets are reasonable and admirable.
The fourth depends on Argentina claiming all of a territory that has multiple claimants. Do you intend to remove the other claimants from Antarctica?
The sixth is quite untrue, and borders on slander. Do you have any evidence for such claims?
TTT is completely egocentric. If he doesn't like it then it must follow that everyone in the world doesn't like it. He has been ostracised by his primary social group so he claims he doesn't need people. Women reject him so he claims all women are bad. (It couldn't be him that repelled them). One foreigner once treated him with distain or made fun of his feet, so all foreigners are bad in his world. etc.
Jun 08th, 2015 - 08:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0He has always supported the Falkland Islands remaining as they are and he has never had any interest in the Olympic Games. He doesn't care for the Olympics ergo in his mind no one in Argentina does. That is of course a complete nonsense as not only did my friends in Argentina follow the games but I sat at events in London with Argentine supporters.
@49
Jun 08th, 2015 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0We don't care about the Olympics, those sports are even more corrupt than FIFA. Everyone does drugs to win and bribes to get to host, just ask the Americans. Elaine can claim some do but the truth is no one cares about most of those sports in Argentina, we really are not interested in them.
@51
Antarctica should be divided into all the claimants that are SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Nations. European claims have no business there, and as I have said before, don't have any legal leg to stand on.
For my six tenet all the evidence I need is this forum and how Argentina has been treated throughout history prior to the the 1970s. Argentines might well be corrupt but foreigners are hypocrites of the 1st degree. Just look at what is happening in the Arctic, and then lecturing Argentina on Antarctica. Look at all the bank criminality, interest rate fixing, manipulation of prices, real-estate speculation, in the so-called first world, and then lecturing Argentina on economic transparency. How could I develop any smypathy for people like that?

The rest of you, especially those of you who are complete hypocrites (like YOU Tobias) who are of European descent, should bugger off back to where you came from. You should remember where, after all you are only a second generation Argentine.
Until then we'll play by international law, which basically makes the UK's claim the strongest since we staked it long before ANY other country, especially Argentina, did.
We have a saying in the UK: “You snooze you lose.”
And Argentina is a BIG LOSER.

Jun 08th, 2015 - 04:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@56 The dictator “solution” is illegitimate and inmoral and if you believe in that then you are no different from a narco or a terrorist. I will never hope for an inmoral solution.
But I understand where you come from, you are a Social Darwinist who will do anything to move people towards your concept of “civilization”. Just like Al Qaeda.
I will however keep looking for a solution that is morally acceptable. If we are human beigns just like you Americans then we must find a civilized way.
59. I've thought long and hard about this and clearly representative gov't will never work in Argentina.

Argentinians are too corrupt and has too many uneducated slum dwellers that will keep electing people that make false promises.
Unless there is a radical change with someone that wants to fix the country without enriching themselves it will never change.
Magnus, you should move to the USA, Canada or UK. There's no hope for Argentina.
@60 If I ever leave it will be only a temporary “exile” in a Latin country. Thanks for the offer though.
Jun 08th, 2015 - 06:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't like the people in my country who give up and don't care about our country, or just leave, or don't take anything seriously. These people don't realize that much of their worth as human beings comes from their nationality and that they must build a prosperous nation if we don't want to live and be treated like animals.

Jun 08th, 2015 - 10:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If all that makes you feel better sure. I know for a fact the UK would not make it past discovery session in a court deciding sovereignty of Antarctica.
Rights of discovery or claim are 100%, 1000% not admissible. Any world court that ever admitted such then would be flooded by MILLIONS of claims, including a few dozen to claim your own little island country. Claimants would certainly include: the Normans (thus the French and Danes/Swedes), the Jutes (the Dutch I think), the Saxons (Frisians and Germans), the Norse (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland), the Romans (Italy), the Celts (Ireland), the Iberians (Spain), the Stonehenge people that appartently have DNA traceable to Portugal, Tunisia, and Ukraine (thus those three countries also can take you to court).
That's just the UK. Imagine the same for ALL countries, based on “first claim”.
hahahaha.

Basically another general strike in Argentina. One may wonder if its all going so well why there's so much adhesion to the strike?

Jun 09th, 2015 - 04:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Toby, you are forgetting that the British with their vast, VAST territories of land and sea in the S. Atlantic, are a SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE Nation, closer to the Antarctic than Argentina is.
Also the British territory in that region is undeniably British.
What is the legal basis for Argentinians claim to the territory that is today called Argentina? Conquest, occupancy, theft, Squatting or what other “legal” means?
First that has to be answered, before you can expect go claiming other people’s territory.
Meanwhile, back on planet Earth.....
