Do you think those Argentine pilot visitors to the Falklands stayed and were feted at Evita K's no-tell ho'tel?

Come on Elaine. I know Argentine newspapers have the bad habit of convicting people before the judges have a go at it.
Are you indulging in the same habit by concluding that, if a hotel was empty it has to be money laundering?
I remind you that no offshore account belonging to CFK was ever found--which cannot be said of anti-corruption champion and Argentine president Mauricio Macri.
She's good at hiding her money - that's what the empty, but fully booked hotels are all about - and the vault, I mean tomb or whatever, in her basement.
Nov 04th, 2016 - 05:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Enrique, I won't go into all the details but the hotel would not take the booking because they claimed in was full. This happened a couple of times until I got an Argentine friend to make the booking for me and the managed to find me one room but 'the rest of the hotel was fully booked'. When I was there I was the ONLY guest who actually used a room. This confirmed other information I had been given about the hotel operation.
Nov 04th, 2016 - 07:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Now, Enrique, we know you have not stepped foot in Argentina for decades and live comfortably in Canada whilst relying on cherry-picked propaganda that suits your political leaning. I understand how ex-pats have a fantasy version of their homeland when they have been away for so long. I, however, work on facts and first-hand experience.
I can't reveal on here all that I discovered when visiting the strong-hold of the K's but you could have your eyes opened if you ever made the trip home. But I know you don't want to believe it.
Well, Elaine, I do appreciate your polite response and I welcome debate.
Nov 05th, 2016 - 02:25 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I won't debate on the hotel thing because I am not up to speed on that, but if there was something illegal done there I am sure the justice will catch up to that--they are really working hard to find anything that could inculpate CFK and eliminate her as potential candidate.
From where I live, I follow the main directions of the current government, and I'm aware of the main lines of the past one. I am not partisan--in fact, when Néstor Kirchner assumed the presidency, I pay not much attention--after Carlos Menem's presidency I did not hold much hope for Peronists at government.
Being busy, I began noticing the Kirchner government's actions when they cancelled the debt with the IMF in 2006--something I never hoped the country would do in my lifetime.
There were also many actions towards transferring a larger share of the national income to the less fortunate sectors, which doubled the size of the Argentine middle class in a few years.
It was an amazing feat for the Kirchners to do what they did while relying mainly on the Peronist movement, a group where all sorts of trends coexist as it can now be seen in Congress.
Was the Kirchners' government error-free? Not by any means.
But what was accomplished in Argentina in the 12 years of Kirchner governance will remain a unique case in history books--especially when contrasted with what followed.
The effects of what the Macri government is accomplishing as we speak will be the best argument in favour of Kirchnerism.
In fact, for anybody who is not deaf and blind, the CEOs government is practicing a scorched-earth mission that will very rapidly push the country to abyss.
Mark my words, because we'll be able to talk again, rather sooner than later.
Brilliantly put Enrique. And be assured Kirchnerism was not only a unique case in Argentine history but an inspiration even in the most unlikely of countries :=) And this scorched earth CEO tyranny won't be the end of the story, its so obvious what Macri most fears is the return of Cristina hence these nakedly political persecutions. As for *real* hotel scandals involving a President, I'd be looking further north...

Macri knows, the sooner the better, as he's aware she will a constant source of sedition, and a focus for her contemporaries also fearing corruption charges.
