The president of the Argentine Banco Provincia foundation, Karina Rabolini, signed on Friday at the Embassy of Argentina in the United Kingdom a cooperation agreement with Walkabout Foundation, a non-profit organization that focuses on funding research to find a cure for paralysis and donating wheelchairs to people in need around the world.

To be the first lady of the K's, you first have to be A LADY! A bit like finding a needle in a haystack methinks.
Just because of this action I will not vote for Scioli.
Jun 27th, 2015 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0I find it treasonous they get involved with an entity of Argentina's only existential enemy, the United Kingdom.
Very poor decision from this woman.
There should be no solidarity with the United Kingdom. No cooperation.
In the second pic, the good lady is holding a copy of Malvinas Matters. Perhaps it's a cure for intellectual paralysis she's after?

Tobi, here's an idea for you: Why don't you start your own Whatabout Foundation, dedicated to the introduction of irrelevancy into any discussion of anything?
One thing you'll notice in BA is that there are very few handicapped people on the streets. I asked about that and my friends told me that they mostly stay home or live in assisted living if the families have money.
Jun 27th, 2015 - 01:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's really no accommodation for them on sidewalks, no ramps etc and absolutely nothing for them on public transport.
If your in a wheel chair your totally screwed if you live in Argentina.
Well I guess everyone is totally screwed if they must live there
not just the handicapped.

Jun 27th, 2015 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is totally relevant to this topic, she fraternized.
The UK is an existential enemy of Argentina and should be treated as such, with no respect and no relations.
She is an enemy.
@4
If the handicapped are screwed here, that explains why you were the first to leave.
In the USA, old people are screwed, young people are screwed, people in churches are screwed, people under arrest as screwed, people at malls are screwed, people at movie theaters are screwed, people in colleges are screwed...
Burn baby burn.
I think an Argentiean education should be considered a handicap..... for proof I present comment #2!
Jun 27th, 2015 - 01:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 05. I moved because I was fed up with losing electricity when it rained, when it was windy, when it was cold, when it was hot, not having internet when it rained, when it was windy, being scared of living in my house because all the houses around me were getting commando assaulted, kidnapped, car blocked in when you're driving, not being able to walk down the streets of BA in decent clothes or with a watch on or carrying a cell phone, sick of seeing the hordes of people searching through mounds of garbage every day, the filthy dirty streets of BA, the broken sidewalks of BA, the terrible corruptions you have to deal with everyday, the constant noise and filth assaulting your senses every time you leave the house, the ever increasing inflation, lack of gas at gas stations, having to wait in lines to get gas
Jun 27th, 2015 - 01:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0shall I go on?
Silly creature you can't compare the first world with a frontier country.
@1. I have to disagree with you. How can anyone be with the Ks AND a LADY. Is Kirchner a LADY? Is Florencio Randazzo a LADY? A LADYBOY or a refugee from Magic Roundabout? Minister of Science, Technology and Innovative Production is Lino Barañao. A bit of floor covering. Spread out with back on the floor. There's Teresa Parodi. Definitely a parody. Does that constitute a LADY?

Oh and I forgot one important one

Horrible
One thing I do think is funny tho
giving candy in lieu of coins since coins are worthless and in short supply.
Don't miss that horrible place at all.
Its raining today, my a/c is working and I have internet.
Must be the USA or any other civilized country

Jun 27th, 2015 - 02:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0but you chose the us to live...
then you are a bit too stupid, if you wanted to avoid all those calamities.
as far as the whole fucking world knows, the us is the most dangerous place to live.
it is probably, along with the uk, the most retrograde, racist and filthiest place on earth.
you should have chosen switzerland, or belgium or a scandinavian country instead.
guess you didnt have the brains to make that decision.
Oh Paul, you've never been to any of those places have you?
Jun 27th, 2015 - 02:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What a very sad life you must have
How the architecture business going?
Bahahahaha
Did you see the news article that if you make more than U$900/Mo you're in the top 10% in Argentina.
You don't make near that do you?
Loser.

Jun 27th, 2015 - 02:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Dearest and most admired intellectual contributor of Mercopress,
After all, though your intellectual posts you have greatly convinced most of nearly all readers here that Argentina only desires through peaceful gentle persuasion and logic to eventually convince the world for its right to re-colonize with legal rightful Argentine native immigrants in order to de-colonize the colony of inserted illegal alien current residents.
You've successfully presented the Peronist doctrine for justifying that the Islanders are nothing more than a non-people or “implanted population“ which was the same Nazi strategy of lebensraum”
Thanks for explaining that Argentina wants to settle the lebensraum issue peacefully through persistent diplomatic negotiations and bullying that will require other powers to force concessions to the United Kingdom. The Falklanders are considered by the Argentines just like the Nazis did of the Polish, Ukrainians and Jews.
Paulcedron, you must feel so proud marching with a torch, brown shirted with your la Cámpora racist bigot friends.
Do us one favor, stop claiming that you have any secondary education, especially telling mistruths about architecture of any kind. We know it's all lies...
Argentines promoting a charity for wheelchairs, in London!

Now the bastards are using the disabled for propoganda.
Why am I not surprise!
It is true Argentina has a lot of catch up to do on assistance to those with limited mobility.
Jun 27th, 2015 - 03:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is good to see that somebody who could become first lady is not only aware, but already working to improve the conditions of the challenged in Argentina.
A good omen as the presidential election approaches.

Jun 27th, 2015 - 08:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It's about time the flea bitten pit they call an embassy was cleared out, we have nothing to say to these people and they have nothing to say that we want to hear
How about Conqueror donates his Zimmer Frame..he does all his warring from his armchair now...
Jun 27th, 2015 - 10:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0...did I say armchair, I meant command centre...
It is worth noting that the Embassy of Argentina in London does not even have wheelchair access into their premises from the street. Several steps need to climbed.
Jun 27th, 2015 - 11:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why did this event take place in London? Carolina González-Buster is neither British nor Argentina - according to the Vogue Magazine report of her marriage her family home is in the República Dominicana which is where she was brought up and where her marriage took place.
Jun 28th, 2015 - 05:59 am - Link - Report abuse 0It is also odd that this non-event coincides with an order from a Federal judge in Tierra del Fuego that all assets of the oil companies operating in the Falkland Islands should be seized, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/argentina/11703596/Argentine-judge-orders-seizure-of-Falklands-drillers-assets.html

Jun 28th, 2015 - 09:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0And so it begins...
@20. I have a few things on my side. I don't go for stewing various unmentionable things in a sheep's stomach and calling it food. Being male, I don't go for wearing a skirt. Being English I have both a brain and a mind. Unlike any of the scotch that agree with you. That sporran is so you can give yourself a feel, isn't it? Just before it drops off. We can always trail the scotch. There's the brown stuff dripping off the back of the skirt.
Jun 28th, 2015 - 06:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't have a zimmer frame. Although I do have a major back problem that requires constant extremely strong medication. How kind of you to mention my disability. That I have to suffer every day.
Before I suffered my back injury, I warred from the frontier of my country. What would anything scotch know about a frontier? Hiding in the far north. The enemy is in the south, numbnuts.
Does scotchland has a command centre? The 23rd Benefit Scroungers? The 18th Free Tenancy Brigade. The 11th Scotch Spongers. The 5th Scotch Squatters.
Around 50% of the scotch population are hereditary war criminals.

Jun 28th, 2015 - 07:58 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What is it about Customs and people who work for them...?
Same in the States I crossed through Customs once near a place called Thousand Islands and on the wall in the office was an emblem referring to American POW's.
Being a cheeky bastard and in my best sneering Voice, I asked why they had a military emblem on the wall when they are only civil servants...
Oh dear....
”We are the first defence on the frontier of this nation it is our duty..blah de blah...for ten minutes....
He still didn't answer the question....
Are you related...?
Big deal about the back...I came off an FZR Xup at 90 mph on a round about and broke the 1st and second lumbar...compression fracture...so what....
If I give you 20p will you go and phone someone that gives a fcuk.....
