Of course, most foreigners and many Argentines will have difficult understanding the recent political moves that ended up capturing the electors’ support.

President Mauricio Macri is one of those who hasn’t yet registered what has just happened.

Clearly disoriented, Macri has announced a handful of mitigation measures that are not going to change anything.

The next four years are going to be very interesting.

EM,

“The next four years are going to be very interesting.”

The next four years would continue the downward spiral that the Ks started.

As pgerman says, if you disagree and think Argentina will become a land of opportunity for your skills then what is stopping you? You don't want to miss out! Your Canadian dollars will make you very rich in a few years!

Z and pg never learn the lesson and their reactions show it very clearly.

Anyway. I warned in this forum about the nature of the beast even before MM took office.

Zaphod and German were quick to attack my points and used the argument that I couldn’t possibly know, from Canada, what was going on in my home country.

Now that a majority of electors spoke, they want me to buy a ticket and flight south.

Let’s be serious, guys. It’s not about Enrique, Zaphod or German. It’s about beautiful Argentina and the futuro of 45 million people. You forgot it.
