Argentina's incumbent presidential candidate Scioli could just make it in the first round
Ruling party candidate Daniel Scioli could win Argentina's presidential election in the first round, after an opinion poll published on Friday showed he had widened his lead over his closest rival. Scioli, the anointed candidate of President Cristina Fernandez, would win 41.3% of voters' support, including his share of projected undecided votes, the survey by Ricardo Rouvier & Associates showed. Second-placed mayor of Buenos Aires City, Mauricio Macri would secure 30.5%. Read full article

They talk collectively, act individually and fight among themselves politically or in courts. It's like those in that continent want to be the communist version of the USA.....individual states under one federation. I say let the do what they want and let them do it themselves. There is not enough of a wealthy demo to sell to, so we do not sell to them. Conversely, we do not buy from them either. Left them have China and Russia, their seemingly saviors.

I am not Brasileiro (again). I hate Brazzos as much as a I hate EUians, Anglos, NorthAmoans, Chinosians, Ozzers, Cannaries, and the Chilis.
Oct 04th, 2015 - 08:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0I am not racist, the rest of you are racist against the Argentines. Let's not forget that irrefragable reality.
This is an amazing excerpt on the TRUTH ABOUT THE ANGLO:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/eureferendum/11908593/Philip-Hammond-Britain-will-vote-no-if-EU-does-not-back-down.html
“However, he makes clear to his counterparts across Europe that British voters will leave if there are not “robust” guarantees that any reform package is “irreversible”.
”Irreversible“? So these 4th Reich nuts that so cavalierly are called ”the British government“, now are speaking in the name of their voters... This Anglonazi is saying ”Britain will leave the EU”...
Really, and who are you exactly to speak on behalf of the voters and state a result before any voting has been made, when at least half DISAGREE with your position? (which btw, shouldn't you just be a little more neutral?). Presumptuous is too soft a word.
And then the best part, “irreversible”. What kind of democratic man would say that any vote on any law made should be made “irreversible”? Well golly, how can you be talking about leaving the EU then? That then would be irreversible too right?
At least in the last part he has still enough mental stability to admit leaving the EU would send the UK into an immediate recession. Most of the dimwits here in this forum actually think the UK would boom, and that THEM leaving would cause the EU to fall in a depression?
Now that's trully lunatic territory.
Anglos will be Anglos

There are two basic flaws with that statement.
1) The Islanders don't care who you vote for
And
2) The Islanders don't care who you vote for
Now.I know this is the same flaw twice. But ,trust us , so fundamental is that to your analysis of the Islanders “having a favourite”, being complete and utter bollox it was worth emphasising.
@10 Brasileiro Nostril Shut Up! Your racist ramblings are out of order. You are an embarrasment to the many millions of decent Argentinian people. Ms Swink is organising a love in just down the road from our embassy. Oh no! You cant make it because you dont actually live there? Cizneros will guide you to sanity with Lithium if you ask him nicely. Honk honk!

Maybe Papa the Pope can release some of the billions in the Catholic Church and lend them some money, although I wont hold by breath.

Personally I think it's a good thing that the Argentines elect a Peronist president as there will be an economic collapse no matter what in 2016 due to CFK's financial smoke and mirrors. They get what they deserve.

Oct 04th, 2015 - 04:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Agreed, it's best that the inevitable financial and economic collapse occur whilst a Peronist successor to CFK is in “in control” of the government.
Finger pointing will be confined to Peronist blaming Peronist - it should paint a clear picture for the public and rip the Peronist factions apart.
WHEN I WAS 18 YEARS OLD.
Oct 04th, 2015 - 04:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In 1999 i was eighteen years old, and i voted for the first time, i chose De La Rua, and i did it because i though that the main problem of the country was corruption, not the economic model, in fact, all those who wanted De La Rua for president asked the government to create the jobs that Menem's policies had destroyed, but at the same time we pretended it to keep the convertivility plan, which was a flagrant contradiction.
I'm not saying that corruption isn't a big problem in the nation, but i would be too inocent if i believed again that it was the main motive of the argentina decadence.
In 2003, after the dramatic experience of the 2001 crisis, i despised politic, if somebody had told me that workers were going to get very important achievements, or if i had been told that Argentina was going to start a huge and ambitious reindustrialization process, or if i had been told the country was going to have much more autonomy, without the interventions of the i. m. f., i would have recommended that person to see a group of psychiatrists,.
The Argentina of post kirchnerism will be a nation with many pendent social debts, like poverty, unequality, unemployment, insecurity, etc, but it will be also a country where workers could get achievements that were unthinkable 12 years ago, and in the 90's, in fact, it's recognized even by conservative politicians, who have never cared about workers (Macri and Massa), and who had to admit publicly that they are disposed to keep them, in case that they win the elections, which shows clearly that in the context of the new Argentina, there is not so much social consensus for the neoliberalism that those candidats represent, which is a hard cultural defeat for them, in my opinion, i think it's worst than loosing an election.
As far as i'm concerned, it's the first time in my life i defend a government at the end of it's administration.
Final figures of primary elections: f. p. v. : 38,5%, and Macri: 30,5%......

Oct 04th, 2015 - 08:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Interesting posting, Axel.
I believe accusations of corruption have been liberally used by the opposition in a bid to divert attention from a corporate platform they cannot openly present to Argentines.
Ironically, now Macri finds himself under fire for distributing City of Buenos Aires money to friends and allies through direct contracts, as well as declaring millions in fictitious disbursements to media outlets across the country, allegedly payments for “government advertising.”
Indeed, Macri's desperate maneuver to get votes by promising to keep several measures implemented by Nestor and Cristina shows the popular determination to keep those advances intact. Only, Argentines are not going to be fooled by this 11th hour turn around.
I hope the FpV inflicts a resounding defeat to the neoliberals come Oct. 25.
Scioli has now decided not to participate in the presidential debate. Such a coward scumbag. He knows the election is bought and paid for.

@Enrique Massot
Oct 05th, 2015 - 03:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0I do agree with you.
The opposition parties have made the whole political argument accusing the K to be corrupted, etc. but now like “Mauricio Macri” has become the big delusion to their followers.
Mauricio Macri was discovered to pay 23 millions using public funds to his friend “Niembro” an sport journalist to promote his image over Fox network with fake contracts for the city.
The contracts given to “Niembro” were for “repartir volantes” (leafleting) ha ha ha
23 millions to do that is really a joke.
No enough with that his friend company was created a week before he got the contracts and since then no other client was reported and even more ridiculous is that his friends company has not a single employee.
But Mauricio keep saying that this was all legal while his friend is being prosecuted ... ha ha ha
It is not amazing???
@18 Unfortunately the Peronists are masters of manipulation and doublethink, if Scioli gets elected and the economy blows up, the only one affected will likely be Scioli, and hopefully CFK. But the Peronists can easily pretend they have always been at war with Eastasia and retain power. They control everything, after all.

Oct 06th, 2015 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0If you don't like Daniel Scioli or anybody else, it's your right to speak against them. That is democracy.
Now, making nonsensical statements like those above really does not help your cause. Not even readers in a forum as reactionary as this one will take you seriously.
To stop being a clown, I suggest you grab a few serious books on political science. Learn what fascism and Nazism really are, learn some Argentine history, and then come back and put forth some serious arguments.
By the way, German: learn some spelling too: this is how you write fuhrer (or führer if you wanna be real fancy).
Also: The NY Court of Appeals has quashed another Griesa ruling allowing the vultures rights over the money Argentina sent to pay the restructured creditors. Another setback for Paul Singer and his cohort.
Quique.....backing up to golf on Stiusos book, why do you suppose CL Kirchner wants him enough to openly threaten the US in general and back channel threaten some officials specifically? More so, IF he is in the USA, rest assured that he is there for cause. Do you honestly feel the best and most appropriate course of action for a pissant is to bite the toes of an anteater?
Oct 06th, 2015 - 01:48 am - Link - Report abuse 0“...but it shows Scioli extending his lead over conservative Macri which could be crucial in three weeks time.”

it is funny when the 4th class press talk about things they don't understand.
macri is part of cambiemos, which is an alliance with the ucr and the coalición cívica.
it has nothing to do with the partido conservador or its ideas.
now, the funniest thing is reading the nonsense of these good-for-nothing from the islets.
despite the fact i despise scioli, he is a lot better than kirchner, and ihe has very little to do with her in the political area, economics and foreign affairs.
the good thing is that all the candidates have the same position regarding our malvinas argentina.

In addition, the day Axel Kichiloff started working as Minister of Economy (the 20/November/2013) the U$D cost 6,04 pesos...now...almost two years ago...one dollar costs 9,44 pesos...this is a devaluation of 55% in less than two year...Who is going to applied one “ajuste”?.....Macri?...Massa?...mmm...I would say the FPV....
Remember Diana Conti, and other peronists, she always say that CFK is the “leader” of the movement...LIDER (in Spanish) = LEADER (in English) = DUCE (in Italian) = Furher (In German)...it is not a joke...

Oct 06th, 2015 - 12:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I would suggest that you read the following books about peronism, fascism and nazism:
“Apold, el Inventor del Peronismo” from Silvia Mercado (the daughter of an historical personist leader)
“El Relato Peronista” from Silvia Mercado
“Del Estado Liberal a la Nacion Catolica” from Loris Zanatta (an italian sociologist)
“La internacional Justicialista” from Loris Zanatta
“Es El Peronismo Estupido” from Fernando Iglesias
“La autentica Odessa” from Uki Goñi
“Peron y el Mito de la Nacion Catolica” from Loris Zanatta
“El Populismo ” from Loris Zanatta
All these books, sadly only in Spanish, will inform you about peronism and facism.
