Follow the guidance of Americans and Europeans is madness. Argentina has to strengthen its ties with South America, Russia, Asia and Africa.

The West wants someone to explore and steal ...
In argieland, there are 47,950 Qom (alternatively the Toba) people. According to wikipedia there were 47,951 so I've updated the figure here to take account of this one starved to death. Kirchner could give each one US$333.
Sep 14th, 2015 - 12:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@3 What has your post got to do with the children dying of hunger in Argentina?
Sep 14th, 2015 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@5. Be fair. Asia and Africa are well known for poverty and starvation. I gather that Russia is big on poverty. The problem is that most of them now think that the solution to their situation is invading Europe. Fortunately, news reports show that more European countries are calling out troops. Will it come to a point where European countries say “Cross our border and get shot”?
Sep 14th, 2015 - 01:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#3 Brasshole, by rambling senselessly about something other than the poor, is this your way of pissing on your fellow poverty stricken (do you peronist policies) Latins and ignoring them the same way Kirchner ignores them?

Sep 14th, 2015 - 02:35 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Catholics have instilled the cultural, family and religious institutions that have either:
1. caused these problems
2. perpetuated these problems
3. exacerbated these problems
4. all of the above.
Return the native GOLD and the interest on IT.
Put the Nasti plunder still resident in the vatican coffers(coffin) to some good purpose.
Do no harm.

@9 It depends which one of the Brasileiro Gang is posting. They admitted it is a group of people using the same log in. I am guessing the average age is around 14.

its your fault the argentine government,
the cuck stops with CFK.
There is poverty and malnutrition in Argentina, and child poverty is its worst manifestation.
Sep 14th, 2015 - 07:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0However, no government in Argentine history has done more to solve poverty than those of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández. Much more needs to be done though.
The Universal Child Allocation--to which candidate Mauricio Macri was opposed--is a concrete measure seeking to alleviate the situation of the unemployed poor with children.
The fact that opposition candidates and the Argentine Catholic Church are speaking out about it is promising. Perhaps we will be able to hear their ideas as to how to eliminate poverty.
@12 “However, no government in Argentine history has done more to solve poverty than those of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández. ”
Sep 14th, 2015 - 07:55 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Where did you read that? Was it the latest La Campora bulletin? It is an out and out lie. The only thing they have done for poverty is to stop keeping records of how many there are because “they do not want to stigmatise them by calling them poor”. The words of Kicillof.
In the years I was living in Argentina and on subsequent trips the poverty has been increasingly obvious and more desperate.
Go there and see for yourself.
the cuck stops with CFK.

@12 tell that to the family of this poor boy.......and all the others!

if you cant kill them starve them!!
Food for thought....
however an insight of how argentina would treat those they have annexed!
How to eliminate poverty.

And politicians are still peddling it,
They have learned nothing but their own basic code,
Self-first self-last.
@12 Your defence of la Kretina leads one to think you must be her love child!
Sep 15th, 2015 - 06:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine government stopped releasing statistics about poverty in 2013 and now we can all see why. The latest figures from the Argentine Catholic University state that 29 per cent of the population are living below the poverty line. No wonder Kirchner wants to hide the facts, when she is boasting that Argentina’s standard of living is higher than Germany’s. A sick joke.

Sep 15th, 2015 - 04:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No gov't has done more to solve poverty...
The proof is in the eating! It doesn't matter if you have the best intentions when children are starving. Poverty in Argentina is now at the same levels as in the 90s, which means that the Kirchner == Menem. No excuses, just facts.
I wish the Pope had the cajones to put his words directly to cfk: Francis also warned about the “spread of the indifference culture and selfish individualism” ...

Why aren't the Qom being decolonised.. what is the C24 doing? .. trying to get the Falklands colonised by a country that treats other cultures like this and steals their lands? The C24 is a corrupt useless talking shop. .. The Falklands don't need Argentina, the Qom don't need Argentina .. C24 do your job properly.. this is terrible! Not the first time either.
