I do find this quote amusing : “Fernández has a large base, but there’s a much larger amount of people who can’t tolerate her and is more than willing to only vote for a party if it means she won’t go back to being President – i.e Cambiemos.”
The pic of La Asesina with Kiciloff grinning in the background is pretty funny as well...
“Macri told reporters Argentines should expect reforms in tax, education and labor”. When it comes to education: a good reform would be to stop the indoctrination of the young generation with the Malvinas myth. If that is done now there could perhaps be peaceful relations with those islands in the future.

Read Killikoughs blatant lies regarding the Falkland Islands and appreciate the contrast in truthfullness. Then read your own history of genocide and decide who is more truthful. At least we dont indoctrinate our children with blatant lies and false propaganda

Like the fact no indigenous population was booted off the Falklands, yet the Argentine empire murdered thousand of Amerindians?
And the Argentine Empire, not content with that, went one better and murdered 30,000 of it's own people in the 20th century

That's because he's undusted the white jumpsuit and is back on tour. It is reputed his rendition of 'You ain't nothing but a Hound Dog' is aimed at CFK, now there is little chance she will return to give him a cushy number peddling Malvinas Lies
I doubt Trollboy has the slightest idea what British textbooks say about the Empire, or really cares.
Oct 25th, 2017 - 05:11 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Reforms could be a good thing, but I dunno if I trust Macri to make good ones. He already promised to lower taxes in his manifesto and hasn't done it.
He most certainly has, to agriculture and industries, but he has been forced to cut subsidies to Oil and Power. Still, the economy is coming around.

And a year later...

And 9 months after that, Cambiemos won the election. “Vox populi, vox Dei.”
