United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention wants Argentine President Mauricio Macri to explain why social leader Milagro Sala has been in jail for almost two months. The request comes two weeks after the UN Group accepted a filing submitted by the Centre of Legal and Social Studies (CELS), Amnesty International and Andhes, a group of lawyers from the northern area of the country.

    I think Macri has an immense job on his hands, far bigger in reality than just the economy whilst he has the 15M Kircherner and Peronista scum to deal with.

    Executing the 'leaders' would see the rest run away or keep their mouths shut. Cowards don't like the threat of personal injury.

    Maybe Sala is in jail because she's a criminal. And because the number of charges seems to keep increasing. And because she's a criminal.

    I hope Macri stands firm and tells the UN fuck off, we're a sovereign nation. An organization that hands out a Human Rights award to Moammar Gaddafi should take a walk. Why does the UN always seem to elect corrupt 5th world dinks to run the UN. They are nothing but a piss hole in a snow bank. Elected dictators and commies all seem to stick togather.

    You seem quite agitated. Perhaps you should calm down because you really aren't saying anything.

    I asked if she was being incarcerated because she had been charged with something. Wikipedia is hardly a worthwhile reference. Even I can update her page if I so desired.

    Calling foreigners turnips or names because your own politicians are incarcerating innocent people as political prisoners is a reflection on YOUR country not mine.

    You vocally supported a government that for a decade eroded civil liberties and civil society by browbeating any dissent and the use of vigilantism through groups such as La Campora.

    And NOW you get agitated because of the consequences.

    Welcome to reality. It must hurt.

    What was kinda funny is the people who put up the bail money were really shocked when after he skipped bail. The money was taken from them. they didn't seem to understand that's what happens if someone jumps bail.

    Milagros Sala became famous for receiving millions of pesos to “help” poor people and for starting a sort of “parallel” state in one of the poorest provinces of Argentina (Jujuy). She, dressed up as indigenous leader, used, and abused, the privilege of managing public funds to make a sort of Viceroyalty (loyal to CFK) where people must follow her without any hesitation or complaint.

    Let's say, that this extremely poor province (with social stats similar to African countries) has been ruled by peronist leaders most of the time. In addition, peronist governments ruled Jujuy from year 1983 onwards. So, poverty there, in Jujuy, is a direct responsibility of Peronist Party.

    She was accused of promoting social violence when the new provincial government (the first in 33 years of a different part from the Peronist one) ordered her followers to collect their subsidies through the official banking systems instead of receiving the money cash directly from Milagros Sala's hands. This is quite strange since all private companies must pay the salaries through the banking system. The law forces both, employers and employees, to
    use the banks for mutual benefits but she fiercely refused to operate this way no matter that the money comes directly from the National Government. Afraid of losing her privileges? Afraid of losing her power and influence?

    In addition, other legal investigations found her suspicious of diverting money to her personal accounts and to the accounts of some of her collaborators. She, and her direct family, were not able to clearly explain some properties (houses, luxurious cars, expensive vacations abroad, etc.)

    She has always being protected by CFK, FPV and by Francis the Pope. A clear proof of the links between Peronist Party and the Catholic Church that has always felt itself quite comfortable with the privileges warranted by peronists leaders.

    ...”She, and her direct family, were not able to clearly explain some properties (houses, luxurious cars, expensive vacations abroad, etc.) ”

    I say..:
    Well....
    Firstly, her most direct family would be her husband, an pensioned white middle high class journalist from the ultra-conservative paper La Nacion, Mr. Raul Noro...

    Mr. Raul Noro and family have long been membersof the Porteño middle high class and his pension alone must amount to about 2-25.000 pesos. (~3.000 US, last year)

    Let's now make another low guess and say that Milagro Sala's salary for leading an organization of 70.000 people is roughly the same as her husbands pension...

    Would those (low estimated) 6.000 US be enough to finance that India Pata Sucia's lavish lifestyle...???

    If this is true and she has been distributing Federal monies and benefits personally, the door is wide open for corruption and political influence.

    No accounting for who gets the money or what they have to do for it.

    This is morally and legally unacceptable in the developed world.

    Only K's like Think would defend this.

    The K supporters are still exploiting the aboriginals and this woman's aboriginal
    status, to their advantage.

    How many aboriginal people did not get what they were due?

    @54

    As a regular fascist/peronist you have never learned to discuss without offending (or trying to) people....

    A Smart costs around U$D 20.000 in Argentina so, it is an expensive car and only whealty people can afford it. Not to mention the Jujuy (an extremenly poor province) has almost not paved routes. Why on the hell does she need a Smart car in Jujuy??

    Her properties are also very expensive in terms of the poverty of Jujuy and the fact that she always said the media she started her life in the streets. She has never had a formal job so, the source of her money is still a mistery.

    Some islandres or british people might ignore the fact that in “her territory” she, and her followers, took control of the schools, changed the programs, fired the teachers that refused to work this way and there are not argentine flags (there are not provincial symbols either). Just symbols of her political group.

    Think, May I ask you one question? I need just one answer from you.

    Why did Sala's followers refuse to collect their subsidies through the official banking systems? The law forces all argentine people, employers and employees, to use the banks for mutual benefits.

    The very same (using the banking system) was implemented in La Plata (the Capital of the Buenos Aires Province) and it is working perfectly well.

    Why is Sala rejecting the usage of the regular and official banking system?

    It's very possible Jujuy fucked up and screwed the pooch here.

    Charge her, trial her or release her. It's over active fear on the Governors part and it appears he fears protests. That being said, the right to protest should never ne allowed to impede of others freedoms by blocking and stopping others, commerce etc and certainly not by allowing highways to be stopped from use.

    Release her on bail.

    Dear All

    Argentine and British people. Islanders. May I ask you one questions?

    Why did Sala's followers refuse to collect their subsidies through the official banking systems? The law forces all argentine people, employers and employees, to use the banks for mutual benefits.

    Why is Sala rejecting the usage of the regular and official banking system?

    I would like to read posts about this fact.

    THE REVENGE OF THE FALSE DEMOCRATS.
    Conservatives in Argentina often make a great defence of democratic institutions, and of constitutional order, however, since Macri's government is in office, all his administration has done is to burn the institutions of the republic, in fact, if Cristina had designed judges for the supreme court by decree, or if she had changed laws by decree, as Macri did, everybody would have said that she was a dictator who acted like if she was the owner of the argentine state, however the critics against Macri weren't as strong, as they had been, if those decisions would have been taken by Cristina, the good thing is that unless in the case of the candidats for our court, Macri decided to submit their references to the congress, as our constitution signalizes.
    In the case of Milagro Sala, according to the procuvin, which is a public entity that takes care of the cases of institutional violence, it determined that Sala's detention was arbitrary, because as a parlasur lawmaker, she has constitutional guarantees (fueros), that's why she can't go to prison, although she can be investigated, she can't be arrested, and in case that justice determines that she commited a delit, then it will be necesary to eliminate her guarantees, and after that she can go to prison, beside, the public institution also determined that provincial justice from Jujuy commited serious irregular acts in relation to Sala's detention.

    The whole of South American needs to find away to move on from this system whereby your treatment by the justice system is highly dependent on whether you support or criticise the government in power.

    We see it with past governments in Argentina but also in so many other countries. To say nothing of the decision by Ecuador that sexual assault is not a crime if it is committed by a critic of the USA government.

    I have to agree with axel and Think on this one: Milagro Sala's detention is unlawful.

    Beyond that, misuse of funds is the very opposite of what her organisation has achieved. One of their successes was to deliver a very high return of social benefit/housing per peso of funding.

    Marci has done much right in the first couple of months. Will be interesting to see if he does right here.

    The arrest of Milagro Sala is the responsibility of the Justice of Jujuy and doen not pedend on the Federal Justice. So, the responsibilities are attributable to the Judicial Power of a Province governed uninterruptedly by peronism during the last 32 years.

    The arrest of Milagro Sala has nothing of illegal.

    She threatened the Governor of the Province of Jujuy to “ignite the province.” This is the crime of “sedition”. Sedition is a serious crime either in Havana and Miami. It is a serious crime in Belin, London or Pto Stanley. With the aggravation that she is a person with great political influence over a large group of people in the poorest districts of the province. So, her detention is the best, and safest, way to preventively ensure peace in the province.

    Other causes, such as threats, tax evasion, money laundering and espionage over provincial officials joined the crime of sedition.

    Two of her people were also arrested when they appeared in a Bank camera video in the moment that they were retiring almost a million and a half dollars in cash (in argentinos9 pesos) but can not prove, with reliable documentation, the usage that was given to this money.

    There is no illegality in these judicial acts from the Provincial Justice of Jujuy.

    Strange that something as important as distributing benefits to the poor, with Federal funds, should not be monitored and held to account, according to Enrique and Think.

    The interests of the poor are best safeguarded by documentation and a regulated process, to make sure the recipients qualify, and funds are not just distributed to cronies of Milagro.

    Macri wants to go back to the time the wealthy concentrated most of the resources and high unemployment forced workers to sell their services for a pittance.
    In order to achieve that, he needs to use violence to quash any resistance--in the same way past governments used to do and something almost forgotten during the years Kirchner--something many will begin to regret soon enough.
    It remains to be seen whether Macri can accomplish this within the confines of the tenuous democracy he has been applying so far and in view of the Argentines' freedom habits acquire in the last decade.
    P.S. I used to read Vargas Llosa in my youth. But he betrayed the people that nourished his early imagination and wondered into murky waters, becoming a ghost of himself. An intellectual traitor. A nobody.

    As an intellectual, Llosa observed the world around him and modified his opinions based on first-hand research and learning - something YOU stopped doing when you and other Communist subversives and violent terrorists were forced out of Argentina and SA.

    It seems that he doesn't like oppression of the people in any form, whether it be from the Left or the Right.

    For SA, that sounds like liberal thinking, as opposed to those like you, who try to label him as “Neoliberal”.

    “Like many other Latin American intellectuals, Vargas Llosa was initially a supporter of the Cuban revolutionary government of Fidel Castro.[30] He studied Marxism in depth as a university student and was later persuaded by communist ideals after the success of the Cuban Revolution.[68] Gradually, Vargas Llosa came to believe that Cuban socialism was incompatible with what he considered to be general liberties and freedoms.[69] The official rupture between the writer and the policies of the Cuban government occurred with the so-called 'Padilla Affair', when the Castro regime imprisoned the poet Heberto Padilla for a month in 1971.[70] Vargas Llosa, along with other intellectuals of the time, wrote to Castro protesting the Cuban political system and its imprisonment of the artist.[71] Vargas Llosa has identified himself with liberalism rather than extreme left-wing political ideologies ever since.[72] Since he relinquished his earlier leftism, he has opposed both left- and right-wing authoritarian regimes.[73]”

    “Vargas Llosa frequently uses his writing to challenge the inadequacies of society, such as demoralization and oppression by those in political power towards those who challenge this power”

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Vargas_Llosa

    Far from being a “nobody”, he was a popular figure. He ran for President of Peru with his reforms.

    He is famous for his 1990 public denunciation of Mexico' as “The perfect dictatorship”.

    The real “nobody” lived in Alta. for 40 years.
