Cristina Fernandez challenged to show her law degree and Timerman described as a 'traitor'
A colloquium sponsored by an Argentine business grouping, IDEA, that has been critical of the government of Cristina Fernandez, but in a framework of moderation and self containment, turned into a students' open assembly when a constitutional law professor gave a speech on the rule of the law, called on President Cristina Fernandez to show her law degree and described minister Hector Timerman as a 'traitor' of the essence of Judaism for having reached an agreement with Iran.
“I demand that president Cristina Fernandez shows us her solicitor's degree, because she is a complete ignorant of law” said professor Daniel Sabsay who strongly criticized the government's project to reform the criminal processing code and the plan to expel from Argentina foreigners involved in criminal actions.
“That is the most reactionary of initiatives in criminal law, expelling foreign culprits; they will only keep breaking the law”, said Sabsay to the applause of the auditorium, when he defied Cristina Fernandez to show her law degree.
Sabsay then went after Attorney general Alejandra Gils Carbó who he accused of being an instrument of the Executive “with the only purpose of covering up the presidential interests; she's not attorney general she's a 'cover up' official.”
”The job of an Attorney general is to defend the State, not defend Lazaro Baez (a business associate of the Kirchner family). They even tried to lower the salary of a widower in charge of children (in reference to prosecutor Jose Maria Campagnoli who was investigating Baez and was removed from the post)“. Sabsay underlined ”this is not a democracy, this is an authoritarian regime“.
The constitutional law professor then proposed that political parties looking ahead, agree on ”public policies, rule of the law, put an end to impunity, reestablish freedom of expression and abolish cronies' capitalism“.
”Let's face it: we're fed up with a presidential couple; now they want us to forcebly accept their son (Maximo), enough is enough“ insisted Sabsay, who then went on to bash foreign minister Timerman, whom he described as a 'traitor'.
”I'm ashamed of the foreign minister we have. He is a traitor. In July he went to discuss with Ahmadinejad (former Iranian president), a man who denies the Holocaust. I feel ashamed, the minister is undeserving, a rogue. We suffered millions of dead and this guy denies that, and I'm saying this as a Jew, and Timerman a Jew reached a memorandum of understanding with him”.
Before walking down from the stage there was a several minutes standing ovation and applause for Sabsay. Definitively something unseen in the long Kirchner decade for a business organization that has treaded gently, criticizing but avoiding confrontation and irking the Lady.

I see a “helpful” tax inspection coming, followed by a jail sentence for tax evasion.
I've never thought she'd make it through her term.
Watch what happens after Jan.
there is a lot of public people and politicians who are speaking out.
and marcelo tinelli is one of the partners of cristóbal lópez.
you know cristobal lópez, kirchner´s partner?
no?
then shut it and opine only about canada, you 1/2wit.
“marcelo tinelli is one of the partners of cristóbal lópez.
you know cristobal lópez, kirchner´s partner?”
Sounds like the man is tired of being forced to make “protection payments.”
Why do Argentine trolls object to people commenting on an English language message board that is here for that exact reason; for us to comment on the news stories posted here? If they can't take the criticism maybe they should not read the comments.
For Argentina's sake this sounds like a guy that could face up to their problems and sort them out.
Though of course a more successful Argentina is less likely to use the Falklands a s a diversion for their own failure, and perhaps the guy will even see sense.
Of course he may not be a danger to the Islanders if he can tear himself away from the flawed mantra that ignores history and UN regulations, he may not be a danger.
One thing's for sure, he would not make Argentina such a joke as they are now, and for him the thought of the world champion salad dodger taking over his country must be abhorrent, as Argentina would need plane loads of food aid just to feed Maximo.
Still, if Maximo got power it would ensure the Falkland Islands press on with a bright future.
Glad to see he told Gollum like it is and it will be interesting to see if the 'law degree' appears.
Correction: a Type 45 is on its way 'to support enemies of CFK like Daniel Sabsay', will be the hue andcry of the Argentine government
Good man!
Good job Sabsay - you are doing what is best for your country - what the government SHOULD have been doing !

If this guy has life insurance, even Donald Trump could not afford to the monthly payments from now on.
But I am with you guys at 1, 2, 3 and 4 . This guy is showing Incredible bravery by speaking out.
This was good..
BA province Governor Daniel Scioli ...........does not think the kirchnerite economic model is exhausted. “I’m convinced that if we persevere, the best is yet to come,'
Deflect, deflect, deflect. Now, where have we seen this before? ;)
and Timerman described as a 'traitor' [ he is ]
Not sure why Macris is such a soft cock and not doing the same kind of speeches.
Wonder how many millions in argentina are like minded, but frightened to say?
Indeed!
Well said Sir! It's good to see that an Argentine has the courage to call out their loathsome foreign minister.
this guy is a good constitucionalista.
now, he is not the only one who speaks out against the govt.
where the f/ck did you get it?
and those public discourses are more pour la galerie.
the ones who are really fighting against government´s corruption are judges like fernández and herrero, some prosecutors like campagnoli, journalists like alconada mon, etc.
And the troll army squeals in delight! That's it, the Kirchners' end is near (again)!
If this is all the Argentine opposition can come up with, then the elections in 2015 will be a breeze.
Enrique clearly supports the Kirchner crew, as he is entitled to. He is willing to debate. To stand his ground, to fight his corner.
paulcedron, who claims to hate the Kirchner crew spends all his time attacking Brits who have very little influence or interest in his future.
Why don't you debate with Enrique paulie?
Scared of a real man? Scared of someone who is obviously so far above you, intellectually speaking?
@29. What are you trying to say? Obama was born in Honolulu! Two years after Hawaii became the 50th state of the Union. Wouldn't bother about it, Enrique. We're well aware that the argie population doesn't have enough attention span to remember what it did yesterday. If they did, Peronism would be OUT. The people would remember what a crook Kirchner (deceased) was. Anyone found that million US dollars nicked from Santa Cruz yet? And that Kirchner (slut) is doing even better. 16 million dollars she's thieved so far, right? And how much has the fat slob had? Timerman and Puricelli have both wanted to start wars. The joke is that they wanted to start wars with the nation that was victorious in '82 and is now better equipped. Couldn't launch those 200 cruise missiles from submarines in '82. Or the air-launched Storm Shadow. A Typhoon can carry 4 of those. Such a useless, incompetent 'country'. How's the debt going?
EM-----Obamas mother is a US born national. Regardless of where he was born he would be a US citizen. Just as millions who are born to military members serving overseas, they too are US citizens. But because you geography sucks........FYI......Hawaii is the USA.
The birthers consipiracy is up there with the moon landing, JFK never died and all the others. You give too much credit to bureaucracies being able to maintain a secret.
Now they need to start demanding how she became a billionaire while serving the public!!!! Baby steps.....baby steps.
A few polite corrections...
She has never served the public.
She's not a billionaire unless you denote her wealth in Pesos.
There IS credible reasons to question that Hawaii is actually the birthplace of Obama.
Argentina is so democratic even the dead get to vote ...
But only for the FPV .....
They sat that she 'studied law',
Pretty much the same as Dilma. She never got her postgrad degree in Economics ... and it shows.
Allow us to introduce you to your equivalent
brit hater,== 32 Nostrum of NostrolL
You two will get on like a house on fire,
Quite right!!
SNOTTY & EL NINO
Both are racist Argie-Supremists!!
Both are braggarts!!
Both have no future - sold out by their Peronist Government and CFK
Both blame the British for all their troubles - just like the government tells them to.
SNOTTY: Loves CFK and Peronist Isolationist mantra - will never hear ill of CFK - he loves her.
- He thinks the Falklanders are living on their own land, are by rights British, and should be left alone.
EL NINO “the sh!t”: SAYS he hates CFK and the Peronists.
- he is a Malvinista who believe the Falklands are Argentine by right, regardless of facts.
Both say they are CORRECT , and PROUD ARGENTINES.
Which one is “right”???
We laugh at both of them, they're idiots!!
LOL LOL LOL
“Argentine Brothers!”
“Which one is “right”???”
...says the dumbest creature on earth.
surely the poor thing cannot understand that in real countries (not in colonies) there are several opinions, streams of thought, etc and that they can coexist in perfect harmony.
not a surprise though.
what can you expect from a fatty old fart, from a pair of islets ruled by a viceroy who was elected by a 150 yo queen, eh?
A countries executive is “supposed” to serve the public, we we are both correct.
Billionaire or millionaire remains to be a bone of contention. One thing is certain she has more than her declared assets.
As for Obama and Hawaii, even IF he was not born there and I find that hard to swallow. Knowing how my government work, though I cannot speak for the Hawaiian government, keeping a secret only works if one person knows it and he is dead.
Art II sec 1 defines the qualifications of the President and Vice President. The primary being a “Natural Born Citizen” which is defined as ”citizen rights at birth.....and nt defined as location of birth. Senator Cruz was born in Alberta, Canada to a father of a Cuban born and a mother born in Delaware, USA. He is a natural born citizen, just as children born to parents in the military are natural born USA citizens. I choke at the thought but Cruz can run legally for president. So even if Obama (and this in no way supports his policies) was not born in Hawaii, but he was born on Africa or even bum fuck Egypt.....his mother was born in Kansas. But there remains a group of Americans who believe otherwise. I am not one of them........nor do I believe in any of those conspiracy theories.
Back on point.......I really give two pieces of feces about Kirchner because she is not my nightmare.....but I would love to see her response.
PS
My condolences to Brazil.....probably better because she will be sailing through a perfect economic storm and she will be at the helm.
“Anti-democratic scum the lot of you. Pathetic.”
Can you expand on that? Could you give an example of what a poster here has written that makes him anti-democracy?
Or are you just angry?
So says the would be “El Supremo.” ;)
sad that he doesn't understand
@32 Nostrum
I'll save Nostrum the time and give you a quick example of “what a poster here has written that makes him anti-democracy”.

Nostrum: You're an enigma, I'll grant you that.
bushpilot: Yes, I think he's just angry.
And you know what? I could not care less at this point whether she carries or not such degree. Enough seeing her toiling day after day while enduring the flurry of lies, insults and attacks an irrational opposition uses in lieu of real arguments.
CFK “toiling... ”
Ha ha ha ROFLMAO !!!!
Ja ja Ja ..,
That's a good one!!
“Enrique”, are you “British Kirchnerist” by any chance???
:-D
That's exactly the way we feel about HER from an UK perspective.
She lies, insults attacks and uses emotional rhetoric instead of real argumnets
Maybe he can get a real job instead of being a pagotroll here.
Tell me this....why does she not take questions from the media? Because of the Harvard Incident? Or she is too stupid to answer them so she is smart enough to avoid being question? Democracy in action.
Leading Argentine constitutional lawyer Daniel Sabsay is one of several thousand signatories to an open letter which calls for Argentina to consider the rights and opinions of the Falkland Islanders.
He believes the government's sudden interest in the Falklands is a deliberate distraction from Argentina's increasing problems at home. “This conflict is a mask, something that is useful to hide other problems we have.”

Show us your law degree, `successful lawyer´, so we all can confirm that you actually own one.
Maybe there's a future for him as a “Chorichorro.” A man's gotta eat.
