@2. Ah, yes, but she would have made sure that the public works projects were “clean”. It's before and after that are important.

Why not?
Perhaps because an audit may end up the speculation that Bonadio is in charge of keeping alive in order to divert attention from the current Argentina's economy downward spiral?
“You blocked or 'suicided' anyone trying to investigate yours.”
Now that's the best one Leprocon is gifting this forum thus far.
Macri has been in power for six months, and there are no news on the attempts to implicate CFK in the alleged 'plot' to murder former prosecutor Nisman.
Please find a better one, Lepro.
There is also no news that she was not implicated. Time will tell.

Jul 04th, 2016 - 05:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, that's not surprising. After all, isn't the current opposition the same bunch of criminals and screw-ups who were in power only one year ago ?
As to ”businessman” Lázaro Baez, once the evidence starts to surface, they should throw him in jail and wait for him to beg for a plea bargain....then the shit would start to hit the fan for CFK...
I know Cristina Fernandez call for another referendum,

Jul 05th, 2016 - 12:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0Calling for general elections every 5 days, and for referendums every 10 days, and then calling for referendums to undo referendums, with treachery and quitter rampant in all the political parties, only happen in dysfunctional democracies. Argentina is a proper republican system where each president has their turn and elections are not called on a whim, nor are president recalled, or do congressmen “sit” in the congress floor. Nor do we have “hung” parliaments with vacuums in power.
That is for failed states.

Jul 05th, 2016 - 03:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bubblear...so that is your news source? Pity you, camarada.
Under Macri's first six months, consumption went down as did exports, production, construction activity, wages and real public expenses.
What went up? Banks' profits.
The “rain of dollars” supposed to be coming from abroad are staying safely abroad.
In light of such results and his previous promises of improvement in the second semester, Macri needs to show something, therefore he uses the alleged “corruption” of the previous government. Prosecuting Cristina, perhaps detaining her, may distract people--at least for a while. However, besides the political cost of doing so, there is only one Cristina. What are Macri and his team of CEOs / ministers going to show at the end of his second semester of government?

Jul 05th, 2016 - 04:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0You're funny. The truth comes in many languages, and really, that source has been fairly balanced, albeit humorous, compared to say Perfil, or the Herald since the Ks bought it. Here's what is funny about your fixation with 6 months. You are old enough to know that changing an economy takes usually 3 years, 2 at best. So keep talking about something you know is impossible. I don't buy it, and neither does anyone else with any knowledge of the way things really work. But, you are operating from the Narcokleptocratic playbook, and that is always good for a laugh. ;)

Yes, I agree that changing a country's economy takes time.
That being said, the problem is the direction of the steps taken in the first six months, their immediate effects, and their long-term consequences.
The Macri government's plan is to attract foreign capital to fuel economic growth, which may happen or not and make Argentina vulnerable to external events.
Even worse, Macri is conducting an all-out assault on the gains of the lower and middle class in the domestic income distribution in the last decade.
The CFK government's policies, instead, stressed a strong domestic market, less vulnerable to international ups and downs. To be successful, such policies required that the lower and middle classes have enough available income, therefore better living standards.
Were the Kirchners' governments perfects? Not by any means. It is noticeable that some corruption existed--as it exists under the current government. However, when it comes to key economic decisions impacting millions of people, there is a clear difference.
When time passes on and the short-term scaramouches are behind, Nestor and Cristina will pass the test with flying colours.
Macri, instead, will join the somber gallery of those who lied to gain power and then joyfully screwed the whole country.

Jul 05th, 2016 - 08:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your last sentence is the only correct one in many. “ Macri, instead will join the somber gallery of those who lied to gain power and then joyfully screwed the whole country.” Peron, Galtieri, Nestor, Cristina to name but a few. Walked into that one Enrique, LOL

Jul 05th, 2016 - 11:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0Like I said, you're funny. The Kirchner's raped the country, destroyed the educational and medical structures, gutted industry and agriculture, (the latter quite literally, sending La Campora thugs out to slash farmer's silo bags at night because they were “hoarding,”) as well as all the more blatantly criminal things I listed in the other thread. If Macri fails, do you think I will weep? “Your country,” you know the true one, will be completely unable to bully and invade your neighbors, and that is the best outcome I can think of. I remember what you did to Paraguay, Señor Would-Be Sarmiento/Mitre.

Of course you are correct. Every politician in Argentina gets a fair chance of sticking their nose in the trough unlike the other democracies you decry..
All rgs lie.

Jul 09th, 2016 - 11:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Well, Komrade Rique, I can see why you would disdain a Libertarian rag which happens to be in English, but clearly, as always, your English comprehension is sorely lacking. The article cites Infobae as a source, and the Spanish language article is far more amusingly detailed, a fact you probably don't want the readers here to go into. ;)
