    Can anyone explain “ the development project ” is it to get as much money into the pockets of the Kirchners? Seriously would an Argie like to explain “ the development project ” to us so that we can make an objective assessment of it. It seems to me it is not working if you have to go cap in hand to communist countries for currency swaps.

    Heil Kirchner!

    Argentinos, ojo, ¿Quieren seguir en el infierno? Si Uds, eligen a cualquier secuaz de los Kirchner, todo el mundo va a gritar las palabras de #1 Britworker. ¿En serio, están tan vacas, tanto socialmente, moralmente y mentalmente?

    The Rogue's Gallery if ever there was one to rival this bunch of murdering bastards:

    I take it the coke-head Maxximus Prattus, so beloved by his mother and otherwise universally distrusted, hated even, is going to serve his 'time' in the lower house before ascending to the presidency next time round?

    If the Argentines vote this bunch of crap into power they really do deserve what they get: more of the same robbing, murdering aka 'suicided' and 'fast ahead' down the spiral to oblivion.

    It would be terrible if these scumbags got elected again.
    BTW, they don´t need an overwhelming number of votes, they just need a strong 30/40 % (which can be easily purchased).

    A good question would be, why should the other 60% suffer from them?

    Nothing would make me happier as to see another K get elected. They need to be in power when everything collapses just like Maduro is now.
    Continue the insanity and let it go to civil war.
    That's what Argentina needs to clean out the slum dwellers holding back the country.

    Remember me saying watch out for prices in Arg to get higher than NYC, well they have and not only that they've jumped NYC and went right onto London,

    Food is more expensive in BA than London.

    You're doomed
    and I couldn't be happier
    I can't wait to see middle class housewives street fighting over the last bag of beans.
    Then change will happen.

    @7. It's a hard call. We know that the Ks are corrupt and criminal. There's a temptation to feel sorry for the ordinary argie who has been hoodwinked for years. On the other hand, these are the same individuals who get out in the streets and scream for the Falkland Islanders to have their land and homes stolen.

    Let them suffer for another 50 years. No power, no jobs, starvation. Perhaps the Islanders could broadcast cookery programmes! And make sure to televise the oil being pumped out.

    I have watched the replacement candidates for the English and Welsh Labour Party, Burnham, Kendall, Cooper and Corbyn - so similar to Cristina's 'chosen ones'.
    The aged gentleman - Corbyn - was the only candidate to raise his head above the parapet when the London 'demonstration' had its jolly.
    His speech actually mentioned the word 'Socialist' - NO candidate mentioned this historic word when the hustings were their views.

    The People are SO embarrassed to use the word Socialist any more.

    Cristina uses Argentina's phrase 'Development Project'.
    It is an *elastic word* that means the establishment on the take.
    It also means the Maduro 'Bolivarian Revolution' who elasticates his speeches every week. His leavening adds a deal of gluten.

    Isn't it odd that every Rgtroll disappears at the same time?

    Kirchner's 'development 'project

    Developing her offshore accounts and kleptocracy

    You should have seen the bus full of Scioli supporters last week. Toothless choripaneros and they were like little kids waving their Orange plastic balloons in support of the 1 armed bandit.

    Very wise to keep the Family and friends in positions of power to keep all the bodies buried. The stench however may get too much even for the chubby one.

    @7 I remember, on our annual visit about 2 years ago after a spike in inflation, and seeing that milk and bread from one of the shops on the corner cost the same as our local corner shop in Chelsea.
