Disclaimer & comment rulesHead of the Banco Nacion at 26 yrs old, a wealth of experience or is it because she is Rossis daughter? Nah I think it must be the wealth of experience that swung it her way.

Aug 13th, 2015 - 10:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0That is how kirchnerites work and roll.
Yet some STUPID keep supporting them. Hundreds, if not thousands of young guys and gals down here spend years at university and, if they are lucky, they get a shitty job where they make $5,000/month as long as they have previous experience on that field, of course (that meaning: endless non-paid hours as an intern).
And this SOB “daddy`s lefty little girl” gets a $70,000/month position out of nowhere.
A typical lefty who hides behind the “they attack me because i´m a young woman” BS: I´m sure there is plenty of young women out there WHO ARE ACTUALLY QUALIFIED to work there.
What a stupid, idiotic, repulsive filthy hole this country has become.
This is so classic: a south-american lefty who lives in Europe (not in cuba, not in bolivia) out of daddy´s money. Lefty mouth with right-wing wages.
I don´t want to live here anymore.
Like never before I am convinced that Argentina´s sole salvation is to be anexed by a decent country, one that forbids any argentinian to take office for the next century.
Enough of this crap for me. I am tired.

She is an economist FFS!
Aug 13th, 2015 - 11:21 am - Link - Report abuse 0You know what they do! Wring their hands and spout bollocks then say 'on the other hand' and spout another, different, load of bollocks.
Decisive doesn't come into it.
She will be perfect for TDC. Ha, ha, ha.
Pity she has the same nose as her father, she would just be plain otherwise, at least she has washed her hair.
She is blond, beautiful, has a very nice voice, she is well educated, studied abroad, lived in the most expensive street of Buenos Aires but she likes “El Che” and “Mao”.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 01:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I love whatching her stupid european speeches about “changing Europe” knowing that, finally, she found a job in Argentina as a member of the National Bank at the age of 26 years.....
The thypical argentine peronist oligachy that has her mounth full of nice words that promisse a change in the world but her bank account if full of dollars. Another double face person like Enrique Massot.
Argentina ..change or die !!!!
The problem with all of these Statist countries is that nobody cares about corruption.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 02:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nobody.
It is the reason they will continue to devolve.
BTW whos the richest person in Venezeula now?
Chavez's sister
Yeah.
Filthy people.
Nepotism at its pinnacle. Finally Argentina is a world leader at something!
Aug 13th, 2015 - 02:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Doubles all round!
8. Its disgusting that they don't think its corruption and are so shameless about it.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 02:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There's really something wrong with these people.
Workers of the world unite! lol.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 03:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, one thing is obvious. The dirty, filthy K's will have to suspend the import regulations on new printing presses. The old junk just won't be able to keep up with the demand.
I wonder if they'll drop one digit or plan just a little ahead and drop two and try to save on paper and ink. Wait - they could just limit the new denominations to a maxium of Ten of the new K pesos and force the peasants to either carry suitcases of the trash or utilize a new treasury smart card for purchases larger than cab fare or a coffee. Could this be the secret plan to control the masses? K Bit Peso? No more soccer and beer and choripan? Simon Bolivar - save us from such tyranny!
It must be such a tiresome and frustrating job to be a cheerleader of “all things bad Argentina” and then discover that the people they most hate is bound to keep governing for the foreseeable future thanks to people they despise. Same for nationals who come here to cozy up with foreign people while leaking their wounds.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 05:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Their desperation is good to see.
I for one want the Ks to continue in perpetuity.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 06:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would be sad to miss the middle class housewives street fighting over the last bag of beans.
Very sad indeed.
@12. You know that you stole that from me . . . . . in fact - that's almost verbatim. I do however fully endorse the sentiment.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 06:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 026 years old......and they wonder why they are in near ruins. SHe must be one of the youngest stealing from Argentina.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 06:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What the fuck happened to experience?
13. Great minds think alike.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 08:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The problem is not Miss Red Rossi , her daddy, or Mrs. K. The problem is that the Argentines don't get off their backsides and really riot everytime something disgusting, illegal or corrupt takes place. They complain in private, but do nothing for their country. They have the government they deserve.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 09:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 016. Yep
Aug 13th, 2015 - 09:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Absolutely shameless.
Can you imagine what would happen in the civilized world?
Pols heads would roll.
Its like Bizzaro world down there.

Enrique,
What do YOU think of an inexperienced, 26 year-old daughter of a Cabinet Minister, getting a prestigious be well-paid government position concerning the governance of a nation's central back and monetary policies?
Do you think she is the best candidate?
Do you think she will act independently of the her father's political party?
You seem to put pleasure at frustrating the critics above ethics and the welfare of the people.
This is laughable. Argentina seems to delight in becoming a bad joke.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 09:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Let's get this straight.
Aug 13th, 2015 - 11:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Banking is by definition a capitalist function - correct?
And you appoint a juvenile, cronie expat who is a filthy leftist pig (and disciple of the discredited j stiglitz) as bank leader - whose father would like to kill all the kelpers ?
Sounds about right for rotting roadkill. lol.
I wonder if this will affect Argentina's credit rating?
Aug 14th, 2015 - 02:00 am - Link - Report abuse 0Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse they put both barrels in their mouth. ..
Perhaps only those outside of Argentina can see this for what it really is. A nepotistic political appointment solely for the benefit of the corrupt governing elite.
Yet the Argentines seem to welcome such behaviour. Surely a deep cultural problem? How else do they tolerate it?
Progress will always continue to elude them, but I can only conclude that they will always blame some external 'other'.
They should become a global textbook example of how to take a country with huge potential to the edge of the abyss in less than a century.
I wonder if all the staff under her will revolt??
Aug 14th, 2015 - 01:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the had balls they could just walk out
$70,000mo salary is pretty darn good when 1/2 the country makes less than $5500/mo.
Aug 14th, 2015 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Nah no corruption there.
None at all.

For someone who knows nothing about Argentina these two sentences might sound a sort of revenge..but...wait a little bit...Argentina is in default, has no credit, inflation is 40%, recesion, unemployment and poverty are skyrocketing....it is about this country Enrique is writing about. That¿s the funny thing of peronist/fascists...they like Hitler may have their enemies entering Berlin and still claim “we are winning the war”....how pathetic.
Enrique, you still missed some answers about the decadent argentina economy...or about corruptions cases....the ones you avoided.
Anyway I cannot wait to mention that you are quite clear an hypocrite..living under the protection of a crown you consider your enemy enjoying the strong canadian economy, supporting the decandent and corrupted argentine government and supporting the neposim of peronism....double face no doubt.
permanent we all keep asking Enri the reconcile that very point you mention since day one of his appearance. He seems to run away from that one.
Aug 15th, 2015 - 04:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have you shaved tgat white beard of yours Enrique? You might look younger.
Hey Delfi! Get your self some of that 15:1! Do you remember when pesos were three for a dollar? Huh?
