Mar 06th, 2017 - 07:52 pm - Link - Report abuse +1After the summit, they should all go to unwind across the river to the beautiful province of Uruguay, Argentina's 3rd most populated federal division after Buenos Aires and Cordoba.

Sounds like they have the right idea and a sincere desire to grow their economy through trade.
Mar 06th, 2017 - 11:35 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Very much an adult turnaround from the previous shrieking harpy who is now facing corruption and embezzlement charges.
Lol, that map really does include Uruguay! Sadly they've already fixed it on their own website, but other sites talking about it have not caught up. Compare http://www.economist.com/events-conferences/americas/argentina with www.ccab.org.ar/ccab/eventos/2017/CCAB%20-Email%201.html

Mar 07th, 2017 - 04:20 am - Link - Report abuse -1Are you reading at all any information about Argentina beside the very partial reality appearing on MP?
Did you know that consumption is in free fall, that small and medium-size enterprises are closing down partly because of the contraction of the domestic economy and the uncontrolled import opening?
Did you know that unions are finally getting out of their initial paralysis and that teachers are on strike today and tomorrow, they marched today and the CGT marches tomorrow?
No, you don't know any of this. Keep living in your bubble and reading stories about Cristina, little boy, and be happily unconcerned.

Nostrils Think and The Hypocrite will be hacked off that the Rothschild's publication the Economist based in London is hosting this major raincheck event on Argentina's recent progress. Anglos rule... Argentina is enjoying what Britain experienced when Maggie ruled. Let's hope there are some worthwhile survivors and that the Peronist nutcases don't re-emerge.
Mar 07th, 2017 - 02:36 pm - Link - Report abuse +2“Susana Malcorra, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Worship of Argentina, Charla: the road ahead for Argentina”...
Mar 07th, 2017 - 04:33 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Susana, minister of “Worship of Argentina” ? WTF is that ?
It is exactly what it reads you dodo, a ministry of Worship of Argentina. The goal is to ensure the rest of the world community gets on their knees at midnight every saturday and sing:
Mar 07th, 2017 - 08:54 pm - Link - Report abuse -21. The Peronist March
2. Hymn to Malvinas
3. Vamos Vamos Argentina.
4. Ode to TTT
I hope you aren't disobeying.
Or did you think that it had anything to do with “Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto” being clumsily translated, since “culto” does not mean worship in this context?
CULTO??? Argentina? Don't make me laugh!
Mar 08th, 2017 - 08:44 am - Link - Report abuse +1You only have to read CLARIN and the BUENOS AIRES HERALD on a daily basis to realise that culture is not an adjective that can be applied to Argentina!
Why do you think that there are so many expatriate Argentines in London, Paris and Madrid?
Hold on one 'cotton pickin minute', that there map, ain't got them there Malvinas on em.
Mar 08th, 2017 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse +2Some one is in for the high jump.....
Or in reality, the educated ones who produce this stuff know the truth more like.....
So many in London? There are almost no Argentines living in London, very few in Paris, and while Spain has a sizeable Argentine community, when you consider it is BEHIND Colombians, Ecuadorians, Venezuelans, etc... yet almost half the population of Argentina can get an EU passport through Spain without a sweat, then you see the number should be much higher.
Mar 08th, 2017 - 11:30 am - Link - Report abuse -1There are less than a million Argentines in the rest of the world. That is an astonishing low number and shows that Argentines are not seria emigrants. Fail.

Please translate the phrase “la gran comunidad argentina que reside en Inglaterra”.

Mar 08th, 2017 - 08:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They did give them Uruguay in exchange. That's a pretty good bargain if you ask me. :)
@Trollface
I just looked up the number of emigrants from Britain and it's 4.9m, much higher than I expected. Britain actually has the highest number of citizens living abroad in the whole EU. Clearly you lot aren't even trying!
@AustrOllpithecus...or Nostrils
Mar 09th, 2017 - 04:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Exactly.....I know damned well that “Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores y Culto” can't be translated as “Minister of Foreign Affairs & 'Worship' ”....more like “Minister of Foreign and Religious Affairs” , or even “...of Culture” ....that's why I questioned it.....but your reaction was to be expected, given your similarity to the 'southern ape'....small brain, big feet...
Why is the foreign minister involved in religion or culture anyway? Either seems an odd combination. And which is it supposed to be?
Mar 09th, 2017 - 10:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the southern ape has a moment of lucidity , perhaps he can explain it to us...
