    Sounds like it will just be like Old Times!

    “After testifying before Lijo, the former Vice Preisdent will be taken to a federal prison, probably to either the Ezeiza or Marcos Paz ones, considering that all former Kirchnerite officials or associates – Lázaro Báez, José López and Julio De Vido, to name a few – are currently there, also in preemptive custody.”

    “wealth to have increased in an unexplainable manner”

    Remind me Christina, where did you get all of your wealth from?

    I think that once they get one person, present them with the mass of evidence against them so they realise they are well and truly caught and then offer leniency in return for information of their co-conspirators the dominoes start to fall. The same thing is happening in the US with the current White House. I hope the process continues until all of the guilty are convicted.

    I think a similar version for CFK and her cronies would also be a bit of fun. :-)

    Mauricio Macri is riding high on the last election results and has decided it's time to intimidate potential opposition to the next round of adjustment measures that include deep liberalization of labour legislation.

    Any reasonably informed person knows that judge Ariel Lijo issued the order to imprison Amado Boudou only one week a government's task force submitted the judge to significant pressure.

    Any reasonably informed person knows that Boudou's arrest is groundless because he hasn't been convicted of anything.

    Any reasonably informed person knows that the media show mounted by the government had the whole Boudou's arrest procedure videotaped by security forces and that the tapes were immediately fed to the media, the equivalent of publicly parading an alleged criminal in a cart amongst a vindictive crowd. Panem et circenses at its best.

    ”The humiliation as well as degradation is generally intensified if the perpetrator is unclothed (partially or entirely) as the exposure leaves the person feeling vulnerable and helpless. A common and simple form of humiliating exposure consists in taking away a person's shoes and keeping him or her barefoot during corporal punishment or generally.” (Wikipedia, Public Humiliation).

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

    But nothing is surprising anymore in Argentina, where the head of the ultra-conservative, oligarchic lobby group Rural Society, Luis Etchevehere, is made Minister of Agroindustry.

    Still, the little crowd of MP cheerleaders squeal in delight and ask for more. Sad.

    Evidently neither Reekie nor BK understand the separation of powers here, that it was the judiciary and not the executive branch that asked for the incarceration, just as is done in the civilised nations. Nor do those two understand the practice of preventive detention practised world-wide. Que los KKucarachas no vuelvan más.

    @ML

    “Separation of powers.” Come on, Marti. Not even you believe what you are saying here. Start reading something else. Clarin is not doing much for your education.

    Meanwhile, golfcronie assumes that, since he's been arrested, Armando Boudou must be guilty of something. Reminds me of the 1970s, when people used to say of those kidnapped “they must've been up to something.”

    Of course, it would take a lot of work to change a lynching mob into something else.

  • Marti Llazo

    Let us remind BK and Ridiculous Reekie of just how far kirchnerism has fallen out of favour with the people - the voters - in this country.

    In the elections in 2015, Kirchnerism got about 36 percent of the votes.

    In the 2017 elections, Kirchnerism got less than 22 percent of the votes.

    That's a rather significant loss..... a reduction of almost 41 percent.

    So there are at least two things going on. The voters are on the way to throwing Kirchnerism out on its ear. Meanwhile, the judiciary is slowly acting upon the accumulations of evidence of the vast degree of theft (excuse me: “illicit enrichment”) and other crimes for which the KK are so well known.

    Of course, Ridiculous Reekie will still be cheering for the KK long after the last of them has been duly convicted and sent to prison.

    Ridiculous Reekie will support democracy and democratic procedures, something that has been progressively lost in Argentina in the last two years.

    Mauricio Macri, the guy who came into power amid yellow balloons and promises of governing for all Argentines' joy, is in fact increasing a pre-existing “crack” in society and throwing under the bus the less fortunate.

    While feeding inanities galore in public speeches, he makes sure political prisoner Milagro Sala rots in jail with no judicial justification; that the investigation into Santiago Maldonado's disappearance and death is delayed and obstructed as much as possible; that political opponents feel threatened with any sort of judicial process, and that not independent judges feel safe when straying from the official line.

    Short-term, cheerleaders may rejoice; however, the current process reminds me of former Canada's Conservative PM Stephen Harper, who came into power with the arrogant goal of destroying the Liberal Party, won two elections, and was later sent packing by Justin Trudeau.

    Macri, and his friend Martillazo may believe Kirchnerism can be destroyed. However, the ideas espoused by Kirchnerism are what Argentina needs to become a real country, and eventually a disgusted electorate will acknowledge that fact. I will see that day and will thoroughly enjoy Marti and the other cheerleaders' despondency.

    Let me remind you Enrique that you being an Argentine you must obviously respect Argentinian law. If there was no “ evidence ” or he co-operated by disclosing where he got ALL his wealth he would not be arrested. Unless of course you do not believe the judicial system that you have there. I would suggest that the Argentines should change the laws if they are not happy with them. I have not ever suggested anywhere on this forum or elsewhere that if anyone who is arrested is guilty, in fact I have on many an occasion said that those accused should have their day in court.

    Golfcronie, if those who are supposed to administer the law are corrupt or succumbing to political pressure, then changing the law will not help. What is needed is to enforce it properly, either by changing the people or by changing the attitudes that let them get away with such things.

    Why does the court not give him bail in respect of a certain amount of money and then he is free to contest his case. Is it because he will abscond and go to another country. If he absconds then the law can then seize all his wealth in absentia. I don't think Argentina has enough jails if this goes on. Come on Crissie how come you have so much money? Is this the norm in Argentina to enrich oneself whilst in power?

    “The voters are on the way to throwing Kirchnerism out on its ear.”

    I think you are correct. The main supporters of Kirchnerism now seem to be a group of intellectual, left wing, middle class who are very vocal on social media but are out of touch with the reality of the working class who are glad to see the back of Kirchnerism. Does that sound like anyone we know? ;-)

    @EM

    “...political prisoner Milagro Sala rots in jail with no judicial justification”

    There is good evidence she was corrupt and in cahoots with CFK. Has she been able to explain her finances?

    “... the investigation into Santiago Maldonado's disappearance and death is delayed and obstructed as much as possible”.

    Did you not see the news about the witness and autopsy that both point to the fact that Maldonado drowned because he couldn't swim, decided to wade across a river that was too deep for him and his “friends” did nothing to help him?

    You'll be climing that Macri murdered Nisman next!

    The Ks are desparate to portray Macri as some sort of evil dictator and they jumped on the Maldonado incident for that reason and now that all the evidence points to him drowning himself they can't accept facts, admit that they were wrong about Maldonado and wrong about all of the things they accused Macri of. They are like a dog with a bone who doesn't realise the bone isn't there any more.

    “...the ideas espoused by Kirchnerism are what Argentina needs to become a real country, and eventually a disgusted electorate will acknowledge that fact. I will see that day and will thoroughly enjoy Marti and the other cheerleaders' despondency”

    You had 12 years of Kirchnerism! How did that work out for Argentina? What did the electorate think of that? Kirchnerism has been tried. It failed.

    “Abscond and go to another country.”
    You clearly show bias by “predicting” what Amado Boudou may do if not incarcerated.
    The charges against him were brought five years ago. Five years! And Boudou never skipped a citation to testify.
    In Argentina, presumption of innocence still exists, even if judge Lijo has chosen to ignore it.
    You pretend to know what what an accused may do, while failing to acknowledge the shameful parading of Boudou's arrestation in front of the public via videos taken by security forces immediately released to the media. This, my friend, is a blatant attempt to “criminalize” the accused before trial, sending the country back to its darkest times.
    The intent of the government, of course, is to send a stern message to all political opponents at a time when Macri readies to launch his assault on the social progress of the last years, starting by the retirees who voted for him.
    Your last claim about Cristina begs the question: what do you know about her “so much money?” Please, share it with us.
    Perhaps you also know a thing or two about Macri's attempt to condone his own multi-million debt with the Correo Argentino for which he has been indicted?

    Marti,

    “Even here in Santa Cruz province, the pago chico of Kirchnerism, the people have voted that they have had enough of it. ...”

    I remember Enrique having a hissy fit before the primaries when I claimed that CFK was losing relevance but it looks like the majority of the Argentine electorate agree with me and they've voted against both Kirchnerism and Peronism.

    I think the continued bleating about Maldonado could backfire on the Ks. They accused Macri of all sorts of crimes both before and after it was discovered to be most likely that Maldonado simply drowned because he was a non-swimmer in a river that was too deep for him. I could imagine a scenario if another incident occurred that Macri could counter any protests by reminding them of how they got it wrong with Maldonado. However, I expect that Macri would keep a respectful silence until the evidence was available, as he did with Maldonado. The Ks are so desperate to attack Macri that they cried wolf.

    I believe the stated reason for not giving him bail is that he might interfere with the investigation in some way. Don't know how likely this really is, but it's not always true that there is no smoke without fire. Think how many famous cases we've had in the UK of people who were wrongly jailed because the police were under pressure to convict someone.

    @ZB
    The autopsy on Maldonado was done two weeks ago, so we should be hearing something more definite soon. It's a bad idea to assume he got into difficulty and drowned before we get the final results.

    Is it not the case that the police gather the evidence for presentation to the Crown Prosecution ( who decide whether or not for a case to go to trial ) If it goes to trial then it is up to the jurors to either convict or not on the evidence before them. So usually there is smoke before a fire.I don't for one minute buy the suggestion that the reason that some have been wrongly convicted is because the police are under pressure to convict.It is the jury that convicts or not.( Rightly or Wrongly )

    2. On April 25, Governor Puente writes to Governor Bucarelli asking for a chapel & religious icons etc.
    3. In December, Gov. Bucarelli writes to Gov. Puente to say he'll send a chapel & some religious icons etc.
    Meanwhile, at Port Egmont, the British have built a fort (Fort George) and established a site for the settlers (Jasons Town).

    Going back to the scope of this article...

    Its picture of Mr. Boudou hides quite a lot of symbology and a funny anecdote...

    A) The only book identifiable on the shelves is a Spanish translation of “Das Kapital”...

    B) The bronze reproduction of the Flying Steed of Gansu..., presented to Mr. Boudou by Mr. Hu Jintao..., seems to point at him..., metaphorically announcing that he will outrun injustice and persecution...

    C) The cop at the left of the picture... The one with the lumberjack shirt, that doesn't know were to put his hands and has a look like a seven years old saying... “it wasn't me Mom..., honest”... you see him...?
    - He said in a contrite tone to Mr.Boudou...:
    ”My Mom got the right of a pension (together with 4 more millions Argies [N.A.]) thanks to you...,and now I am here to put you in jail...”

    This travesti of justice won't last long...
    Also sprach El Think...

    tinkle: “...won't last long...”

    Depending on the number of convictions and the nature of the sentences, maybe somewhere 8 years. Not long.

    Think

    “ ...right of a pension”

    What “right”?

    Where does this right come from?

    Where does this pension money come from?

    Or who?

    What funny peculiar ideas you have.

    Reekie, it looks like your criminal Kirchnerist pal Julio de Vido is racking up those felonies. As if he didn't have enough already to keep him in jail, today we see another charge involving preventive detention, surrounding the charges for fraudulent administration of the Río Turbio mine operation, to the tune of 260 million pesos.

    And Boudou isn't doing so well, either. The stay in his earlier trial for falsification of legal documents has been revoked and it looks like a new trial is in his future.

    Kirchnerismo, que no vuelva más.
