Thousands across Argentina take to the streets to protest against re-re-election
Appealing to social networks thousands of Argentines Thursday evening took to the streets of the country’s major cities to protest some of the latest measures from the government of President Cristina Fernandez including the re-re-election plans and the increasing restrictions to the purchase of dollars.
“NO to re-re-election” said the signs carried by middle class protestors marching along the streets of Buenos Aires to the historic Plaza de Mayo next to Casa Rosada, Government House while thousands surrounded the presidential residence in Olivos, in the outskirts of the capital banging pots and telling the president eight years was more than enough.
The demonstrations were organized via social networks, with a few weeks anticipation, but the massive turnout surprised political parties and leaders from the opposition and the ruling coalition.
Other major marches were reported in Rosario next to the Flag Monument, Cordoba, Mendoza, Mar del Plata, Bariloche where people protested against “the re-re-election and reform of the Constitution,” ”to defend institutions, and the right of free speech” plus demanding punishment for the officials responsible for a score of train crashes and the high criminality rates.
The re-re-election initiative is sponsored by a group of Kirchnerite intellectuals and some lawmakers, governors, ministers and mayors who are described as fundamentalist supporters of Cristina Fernandez. Although she has made no indication of supporting the initiative, the president has not stopped the campaign.
Speaking from the northeast of the country at the opening of a textile factory for Lacoste in the province of San Juan, President Cristina Fernandez said that the current protests against her administration “don’t make me nervous and won’t make me nervous” and promised to keep working actively.
“No matter where I am, I will keep doing what I always did: working actively, because I don’t know anything else since I have done this all my life, work and political militancy” she said in a rally following the opening of the factory.
During the rally in San Juan groups of young militants called for the re-re-election and held signs allusive to another four years for the president.
Cristina Fernandez took office in 2007 and was re-elected in 2011 for a second four year period. However under the 1994 constitution she can’t bid for a third period and to reform the constitution needs a special majority in Congress of two thirds in both Houses which her coalition does not have.
Another middle class motive of protest are the impediments to purchase and hold dollars or any other currency, which the government alleges needs to pay the energy bill, honour foreign debt and to have a sufficient cushion of foreign reserves of at least 45 billion dollars in the Central bank.
More specifically in Greater Buenos Aires demonstrators marched to protest a wave of killings and violent crimes, (confirmed by police stats), which has everybody scared but also furious with the passivity of authorities and the growing audacity of the perpetrators.
October next year President Cristina Fernandez faces mid term election to renew half the Lower House and a third of the Senate. Political analysts doubt the president will repeat the support of her re-election in October 2011 when she managed 54.11% of votes cast and almost thirty points ahead of her runner up. She might then be exposed to growing instability from her own ranks as a new leader makes its way up. In the US they call it the ‘lame duck’ syndrome.

Something about “Horrible leaders are to blame for crisis.”
[@CFKArgentina “Lo peor q nos ha pasado han sido cataclismos de horribles gobiernos q nos hundieron en crisis institucionales y culturales”]
Does that mean safer more food-secure nations like Singapore (& the U.S.) deserve CREDIT for good gov?
I don't credit or blame one person. These are democracies. Hasn't Argentina had a new currency every twenty years?
no worries, we will give her all that she need! Cristina 2015 President!! Go Cris Goooo!!!
you forgot injection of botox for new image
It was a peaceful well organized protest, not like those made by thugs, rioters or those paid by sindicates.
This is a sign of good things to come. Its also good to see that people are waking up and willing to put a stop to this regime.
People did not only protest because of the re-re election, it was also because of many liberties that they have taken, the crime and insecurity on the streets, the corruption that never ends and the lies on the INDEC (Or like i call them FAILDEC)
Nonetheless i look forward to take part on another protest.
Then whats the brown stuff running down her legs.
Tango 1 on stand-by yet?
“The Argentine Government has declared a state of emergency after violence erupted over the country's worsening economic crisis. ”

Chris tango one is grounded for repairs. lol
More and more people are waking up, it will take time but i believe change will be achieved at one time or another.
Its a shame there are to many KKs selling their souls for a vino, choripan, planes sociales and asignacion por hijo.
The government keep hem in the line of poverty and these people don't realize that they are pawns ofr the regime.
This is just like Carlitos Mernem times, it was all laugh and jokes until there was no more money.
At all this, where is El ThickPoo and Retard Kirchnerist. I bet they are hiding now.
Your Argentina, a land that should be so good and productive, is being lost/stolen/mismanaged every day by your government.
The Falkland Islands will never be yours.
Estimates put the crowd size at between 5,000 and 10,000 people.

And CFKC trying her widow-woman-I-did-not-have-cancer victim stance is not going to be well received. Instead of talking about HER suffering she should be acknowledging how the people are suffering. What is she suffering from? A lack of shoes? Not having cancer? Living in a ivory tower with everything she could possibly desire?
----“If we take everything that’s happened to us into account, I ask God not to give me any more suffering.” Astonishingly narcissistic----
Did she really say that?!!!
She is a politician. A professional. Its her job to formulate and manage politics. Not to put across her personal feelings at every opportunity. Shes not in the 'Big Brother' diary room for fcuks sake!
Im really not a fan of PM Cameron but hes never used the death of his child in any way to garner sympathy or publicly show self pity.
@30
Did Anibal Fernandez really say that? Didnt he also say that ''if you dont save in dollars you are stupid' ? Iow the vast majority of Argentines are stupid.
Come on Argentines! Keep it up to get rid of this uber arrogant, malevolent, narcissistic lot.
I was over there in San Juan recently visiting a friend who has been sent over to “that” side of Pascua-drama. Something that astonished me was the complete lack of food in supermarkets.
Here in La Serena the supermarkets are overflowing with food of every variety, but just over the border the situation is so drastically different. It is no wonder the 10s of thousands who come over here in summer go crazy in the supermarkets.
On the positive side, at least they can have a protest without the scum showing up and turning it in to a riot.
Its not food, its electronics. Everything is far cheeaper juts across the border. However the Argentine government is now slapping a 50% import duty on goods brought in from neighbouring countries so it will stop very soon.
Lol, i wish. Some friends and people i know lives there.
Anyway, i noticed the link to that website was broken, no idea what happened.
This sign is gold.

It says ''I didn't eat because i had to spend $6 to make this sign.''
Bahahahahaha
What f'in losers
I like they way they have chossen. they could of gone to another British Island much closer to home ;). Do you really think they are going to get either a British Investors whilst there owners spit their dummy out over the FI or another European investor after what thier owners did to REPSOL.
“What happened yesterday filled me with pride”
“One hundred percent of Argentina's spirit” was out in the street yesterday, the city mayor underlined.
“What happened yesterday was rather overwhelming, a rebellious movement shining light on what we are really living,” Macri said.
Instead of the arrogant crass remarks from K's camp.
Though, is seems Anibal has backtracked a little. He is now saying the government is taking notice but he doesn't understand what they are protesting about. Um, cue another protest to make it a little clearer for the thick-shits in the government?
I guess this means that they are officially desperate then.
Or perhaps they are masochists.
Very strange...
But I think one outcome of these protests that is certain to happen:
There will be no more talk of reforming the constitution to re-elect CFK.
Do any of you think they will still try to change the constitution?

Keep it up !
Any candidates?
Any chance of the Argy economy recovering in the meantime?
Does seem like a recipe for instability.
Whether this would translate as more or less focus on the “Malvinas” issue is really the question from Brit/Islander point of view.

Saludos Amigo.
YUP! congrats Argentina, you gettin yourself another military dictatorship!
Im not an expert but if the ridiculous protectionist trade barriers were taken down would that not provide an immediate stimulus for the economy?!
Pretty simple in theory but it would require a new 'government'.
This is a warning to Kretina and her troupe of performing sycophants!!!!!
Any Argentinian opinions on this?
It’s a Menem era song, but some things never change.

The action is in the Middle East.
All USA embassies on alert.
All rubbish british arses back to the Middle East to protect the USA and Argentina from possible attacks!
See where hating USA/UK has gotten you? Maybe you should play nice and play the game like every other successful nation, instead of being belligerent idiots who don't wanna work.
I am above you, can you read? lol
It seems the government message is 'it wasn't much of a protest and we don't know what they are complaining about' or ' it was only rich people protesting'.
I think Hanibal is a more fitting name. It seems everytime he opens his mouth,,,,,rank stupitdy flows out. But than again, it seems to be a prerequisite to be in ass lips kirchner's party.
NEWS FLASH: ASS LIPS KIRCHNERS SPOKESPERSON SAYS THEY FOLLOWING:
“The government is not preoccupied by the protest that those that attended it are more concerned about what is going on in Miami and that not many people from Palermo, Recoleta & Barrio Norte voted for her anyway ”
The USA is asking the UK to be ready to send all the UK military to the Middle East to protect the USA and Argentina for possible attacks!
Can you read the international news? lol

losers have nothing better to do, lol.
they know their numbers up, CFK goes, and her plastic indocrinated bloggers follow with her,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
a new leader, a new dawn, a new start...
and the falklands will still be out of their reach.lol.
Don't you read the international news?
The action is in the Middle East, the USA needs the UK army to protect my USA and my Argentina from possible attacks!
Are you guys ready or you big wimps likes to keep hiding in Mercopress “news”?
and the big news is CFK will not get re-elected,
out with the old ways,
and in with the new ways.
a new dawn, and the falklands will be fotton and left alone,
and a new argentina will hopefully grow up.
and the mouldy bits will be buried with the dead bits .
and credit where credid is deserved,”
So who are the real Argentine people Briton? The ones who don't support Cristina? This article talks about thousand people. The are over 40 Milliion Argentines. The President will complete her 3 more years on a high note I predict. More Industry, more work, MORE OIL !
Just be careful what you hope for Briton. The UN Resolutions favoring Argentina on the Malvinas remain intact. You mught get a right wing conservative who will really put the heat on!
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
CFK will not get re-elected without changing the rules ,
you have no oil,
and the UN has no power anymore,
and just because we have a soft goverment,
we are still the best [why]
CFK has failed to remove us from the falklands or the south atlantic,
and the years have been wasted by her talk talk, insted of deaing with argentinas problems,
all she has done is talk,
we are agreed are we not.
mmmmmmm
...3 more years on a high note I predict. More Industry, more work, MORE OIL ! You must be deaf, dumb, blind and probably the ONLY person other than CFK and her minions who are too narcissistic to see reality that thinks any of those item could come to fruition while she is in power. BTW a memorandum of understanding is not a contract just the beginning of a conversation. No deal is immanent i will believe it when I see a PR from Chevron not a dimwitted/desperate RG who has his job and his families life on the line. Another bullet train to Rosario perhaps?
You are not from the USA but an RG PRO K loser.
That is the difference between engagement and being utterly pathetically moronic, dull, and supine.

No, she will complete her term and then someone else will be elected, with no re-election. That is the way it must be.
How sad it is foreigners here worrying more about a foreign country, than about their own collapsing societies. You all deserve was is coming to you all, for being so lazy and not demanding your goverment's to change their ways.
But everyone in Argentina LOVES ol' Turkey neck!! This report HAS to lies!! Lies and lies I tell you!!
Everyone loves KFC don't they? That's all that BK rants about!! about how loved she is and about how all women in Agentina what to be just like her.......... I can't think for the life of me what went wrong........
Not all Presidents reach the end of their term if they lose the confidence of the voters. If the people around her see her popularity waning they may well help her on her way out of the door. Politics is a dog-eat-dog world.
I think now might be a good time to remind everyone about the demise of Mrs Thatcher. Does everyone remember that?
The poll tax riots???
Out came the knives and before you could say “but it wasn't MY idea” Mrs Thatcher was suddenly an ex-tory leader.
KFC would do well to take this warning from history........never say never.
How you change your job? “Politics is a dog-eat-dog world”
So far you don't have a solution except to take notes.
?????????????????
This is exactly what happens when you are heavy indoctrinated and past the point of no return.
The argentine leader worth millons, what you have to show beside your rubbish bloody arse?
LOL, I've just read it, wow!! I can't believe that there is anyone left who still wants KFC to stay...... La campora anyone?
I am always amazed as to how many of the posters on this web-site are on weekend release........
I can't help but think that somewhere out there are LOTS of villages that are missing their idiots.
Yes, you are right. CFK is financially secure.
The problems is the UK team trying to show she is not the best....
The UK team should think twice instead making themselves look so passe!
Well, we all know the UK team earns a living making such comments! lol
“Brazil has goals to develop its hydrocarbon resources, but actions like this will threaten those goals,” Chevron spokesman Kurt Glaubitz told me.
Glaubitz is confident that Chevron can forge friendlier contract terms with Argentina and YPF. What’s more, the shale plays they would be looking to crack open carry far less risk (both geologic and operational) than does deepwater Brazil.
“We already know it’s one of the best shale gas reserves globally,” says Glaubitz. “Now the key is in managing the above-ground risk.” READ ON

We KNOW KFC is “financially secure” and we know that she got “financially secure” for lying and cheating and stealing from the very people that she swore to protect!!!
“trying to show she is not the best....” We don't have to show that, she has done that herself, all YOU have to do is open your eyes and look, but it is amazing how many of you don't even want to do that.
You know, during the German invasion of Russia, one diplomat asked a resident of Moscow why they were fighting against the Germans, after all, as everyone knows, Stalin was a monster, deporting people, killing people at will. the woman replied “He is a monster, yes he is, but he is OUR monster”
I think that that sort of thinking is in Argentina...... KFC is your monster.
Komo ezta Tejano? I thought that you moved to your beloved Palomar :-)
And here in the USA all concerned about the Middle East attacks?
Another 9 years war anyone?
We can organize some dinner to get some pounds to Cameron!!!
LOL... and we could donate £5 to KFC's buy-a-vote campain. but hey, why should I worry? least we will be able to VOTE him OUT of office right? good luck trying to do that with good ol' turkey neck!!!!
I think I am going to start a website.........www.freeargentina.com
dedicated to supporting all the good Argentine people working to rid the sewage in the government starting with ass lips kirchner.
“No one's concerned up here in Boston”
How you dare to make such statement?
Didn't you see the USA Ambassador coffin arriving to the USA?
Didn't you see Obama and Hillary face expression of concern?
Why don't you volunteer to protect the USA embassies overseas if your are really “an american citizen”?
Your continue dislike of CFK proves you are a rubbish bloody english arse!
lol
We could donate five pounds to chubby's cameron for next election! Why not you take more care in their fucking domestic problems and pay your debt that it is bigger than Greece! Because so much concern of a Re-election of Cristina Re! Cris Go 2015!!

Look, use your head DEMOCRACY, gives the possibility for people to protest pacifically, using pans and shouting so gov should try to listen what we say.
Instead West DEMOCRACIES, people doesnt protest against to terrible things your gov does to dominate others nations, they live “sleepy” to what its so terrilbe like invading colonizating and usurpating others countries.
And watch now how predictible and clear are the results, you arent guarantee of peace in the middle east or in africa, with violence you dont give peace to nobody. Only more violence. And I see that all middle east is up against you. Using violence too, I regret it from wherever it comes. But they are protesting, they have guts. This are the news, MP doesnt show because it is made with the view of the UK and westy countries. But what a problem you are having there, hope this wont escalates or increases.

your (all UK citizens)properties are belong to the Queen (head of Royalty)
in other words that owner of your property is the Head of UK Royalty.
You get a gold star for mentioning the Python's!!!!
Now I'm going to be terribly British and correct you, the actual insult goes:-
“Go boil your bottoms you sons of a silly person, I don't want to talk to you no more you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction Arthur King, you and all you English Ker-niggets!!”

We all need to keep pushing with protests until she breaks.

sorry, but unable to comment our claim for better Democracy in a self-proclaimed enemy forum.
As a “rebel chacarero” and present last night with my family at Plaza de Mayo protests, still consider all argentines, including those pro-K, as the brothers they are.

#72 coming from a Brit the word looser is a complement.
m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=%2F#/watch?v=PCBOKkQh4Lg
#74 new leader ? Who? Democratically speaking impossible.
#76 and who do you think can replace CFK???a protest against the G20 in Toronto didn't warranty the end of the G20, I don't know where you get those weird ideas, the rules will be changed to allow for a democratic transion.
#78 when Argentina allows for their own fishing industry to grow British will go by themselves.
#79 the world is always protesting against WTO and IMF can you tell us how that is going???
#80 maybe this protester like president menem years better lol
#81 that kind of true can hurt people.
#83 the air can't be president do you have a better candidate in mind??
The people of argentina cannot voice their displeasure with the general policies that the government has taken?
They cannot gather to show the government they want change?
They cannot protest to tell the government they have no confidence in their actions?
They cannot protest to tell the government they do not want to be like veneuela?
They cannot protest to tell the government they are tired of the lies in statistics?
They largest protest yet to come will be in the polls in 2013.
How much does she pay YOU?
I bet you are paid in Pesos, with inflation at 26%. LOL
Never mind, you'll be out of a job very soon.

Well done, Capt.
And this is all over Argentina!
Sussie and BK (“Besotted with Kirchner”) can no longer claim that the people of Argentina all love CFK.
However, Nothing from the Trolls.
Hmmmm, they have all retreated again.
Getting new scripts??
Here in the USA the reports were saying they the people in Argentina refuse to be subjected to another term of her repressive policies
and linging her nest on the way ...
Some of them are acting in their own rational self interest no doubt, but that self interest is in contradiction to the interests of the people of a whole who have no better friend in politics than the beautiful Cristina. Those (if any!) from the popular classes who have joined these protests are indeed deluded
#86 Nice to see you on here again axel, your sense of perspective is always refreshing. I remember you posted your email on here a while back but when I looked for it a while ago I couldn't find it. If you could post it again ever or let me know on which thread to look I might like to get in touch =)
I hope your wrong though that Congressional arithmetic rules out constitutional change; Cristina and the left should go into the midterm elections on an agressively reformist platform of updating, even refounding, the state and sweeping away the neoliberal holdovers of Menem's constitution. If this includes bringing in re-election, great; if not, I see no automatic need for a power struggle or a lame duck presidency as Cristina could just transfer her own support to her handpicked Cristinista candidate as Lula did with Dilma and Nestor did with her; I think Timmerman is the overall best bet for this role but Alicia and Kicillof are also strong contenders. And if the people feel the need for Cristina to be the leader AND the contitution hasn't changed, there are ways round that, like the resignations of 1973...
Still fiddling, even while the fires have started!
get used to it.
talk talk, will soon be walk walk,
get used to it .lol.
“AND the contitution hasn't changed, there are ways round that”
Democracy in action !!
Rome is burning, in this case argentina. Ass lips kirchner needs her fiddle.
“Cristina could just transfer her own support to her handpicked Cristinista candidate as Lula did with Dilma and Nestor did with her; I think Timmerman is the overall best bet for this role”
“ And if the people feel the need for Cristina to be the leader AND the contitution hasn't changed, there are ways round that, like the resignations of 1973...”
So, what you are saying is, “we can find a way to subvert the Constitution, or the the intent of the law, to get what we want”!
Sounds like corruption to me. Make no mistake, “the people” who feel the need to keep CFK in power are different from “the people of Argentina”!
The rioters were NOT middle-class wealthy people, upset about holidaying abroad. The rioters were a broad cross-section of Argentine society, proletariat and educated professionals alike.
BK, you'll be the loyal patsy holding the mob at bay, at the front door, while CFK and Timerman run out the back with suitcases bulging with loot!
The real“ people ” of Argentina will move faster than they did in 2001.
BK's days are numbered...
He's a simple embarrassment to all working people across the globe. His oxygen could be better used.
I think Timmerman is the overall best bet for this role
lol good one!
“BK is not even an argentine, not even a south american.........not even from this hemisphere. He is a Scot”
Well, that makes sense.
I hope his 'hatred of the English', obsession, makes him feel slighted and angry every waking moment. What a life!
Anwser:
Because she is a wimp, a liar, incompetent and knows it is rightfully British territory. Tomorrow argentina will get censured becuase the kirchner's made argentina a deadbeat borrower. Brazil managed to come out from their shithole with help from IMF and are now the 5th largest GDP in the world.........why did argentina fail?
A real strong and rightous leader.........like hitler.
Amigo, just wondered what you lot were thinking.
Didn’t expect anyone to commit Treason.
However if that is you view, I can respect it.
I hope, for your sake, that CFK stays your leader forever because while she is Argentina will remain in the sh!t state it is, unable to borrow money from the international community, and unable to exploit your own natural resources.
However for decent Argentine citizens, they deserve a decent leader who actually knows what they're doing, and Argentina may become a successful country. This will lift people out of poverty and improve their standard of living.
But you don't want that do you or you may lose your only source of income, La , and actually have to work for a living.
People know where I am from and it's not Argentina asshole. I am fed up with nancy boys like you thinking they know it all. Your comments show how ignorant you are on this matter. She has the right idea she just needs to implement things better. Thats it.
I seem to have struck a nerve, don't I? Poor forgetit87, backing a loser President who is making her country a world LOSER too. Pretending to be from somewhere else other than Argentina, although I don't blame you.
I see that Argentina's credit rating has been reduced again. Hurrah for CFK's revolutionary economic policy - how to destroy an economy and bankrupt a country.
Nice to talk to you again. I agree with a reform of the constitution, because we must be sure that all the achievements that we could get along these years won't be recalled by any conservative government that probably roles argentina in the future, but i dont agree with a change that gives her the posibility of being re relected, anyway, she doesn't have enough majority in both chambers to reform the constitution, i must recognize that i was wrong whneni said that most people know about this reality.

... He keeps saying that he likes to “pick” on the southamerican country ...because he is an english wimp. He claims he is from the USA, but that is not correct.
....The ingnores the Taliban spokeman have sent a message stating the attack was made where UK Prince Harry is stationed and more suicidal attackers are ready to give their lives. Is expected that British embassies overseas are next...What Conqueror/Captain Poppy are doing as “UK MALE citizens”?
NOTHING!
why?
Conqueror/Captain Poppy is a rubbish bloody british, he is a wimp!
I really give a as mush as a flea on a dogs hairy ass in what you blieve I am. I will say nothing more on this matter.
It's become apparent the you've allowed your age to surpass your IQ.
Come on......
Why...Why....Why....you don't want to release your name?
Scare? yes ...
YOU are scare of releasing your name, address and phone number ....not because of the “crazy” people.....
YOU ARE SCARE OF RETALIATION FROM AN ARGENTINE CITIZEN....
THAT'S IS ...WHY....
YOU .... UK .....WIMP....PINK ARSE!
Have you not taken your medication again?
Have a swig of furniture polish that should help.
I am happy that I unnerved you guys so much......lol
AND I SHALL NOT STOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hehehehehehehehehehe unnerving is it not.....to wonder?
You are desparate sussie.........clue......18 bravo mean anything to you?
I thought you were American!!!
It was so obvious that you were going to say about all the distortions, lies or half truths that are published about arg. in the world press. This is evident that you are just one more usefull ignorant of the conservative press. At the same time that you say that arg. is an international pariah, a few days ago it was publised an agreement between arg. and rusia, in order to explore over the arg. territory with ypf, beside, who told you that we are on the verge of being out from the g.20, let me tell you that depsite repsol's lobby, it couldn't impide the fact that there are more companies which are interested in exploring in argentina, like chevron and others, i don't know what kind of international pariah is that. On the other hand, at the same time that you say about a soposed decreasing democracy, or express that this government is authoritarian, this is evident that you don't realise about how rediculous and ignorant you are, let me tell you that a few days ago, there were huge marchs against c. f. k's gov. in different places of arg., and people weren't repress neather this time, nor in all the rest of the oportunities that people protested against the gov., in fact, the gov. doesn't repress the social protest, it represses only if there is violence between the protestors, beside, the protests were transmitted openly not only by the chanels that are against the gov., but by the chanels that support it too, i don't know what kind of dictatorship or authoritarian gov. is it. Anyway, i dont' deny that c. f. k's gov. has contradictions and negative aspects, like the denounces of corruption cases, but only an ignorant like you, can make such a mendacious and too partial analysis about argentina. There is a lot more to say about argentina's situation.
You guys in SA toss the word “democracy” so often .....democratic union.....democratic prcocesses.....democratic protests, I think you almost belive you really have it!
I am far from a conservation and loath a socialist. If you do not like what I write........bow to your own ignorance and do not read it. It obvious that anyone that writes negative things against Argentina is a conserevative and enemy of the state. Argentina will soon own the medi anyway and nothing negative will be published internally. The last area for ass lips to conquer with be the internet. I am sure that China will show them how to achieve this.
Zhivago/Chinese wanna be in The Economist
Are you the guys claiming “winning” the Port-A-John“ contests?
Yes, they all said the UK Team is ”winning” the biggest collection of crap...
and remember....Conqueror/Captain Poppy won't release their names, location or phone number!
Why?
They are english wimps!
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeejeeeeeeeeeeeee!
1-Why do you want my name and such?
2-You say you like in the USA, why did you abandon your country in dire times?
3-Why in the universe do you think I am British? Are RG's that paranoid after the 83 ass kicking the the UK they think every one critical of argentina is a Brit?
4-Prove I am British and the info is yours.
Conqueror/Captain Poppy= BIG WIMP
Why don't you tell us who are you?
I gave my name, location and telephone number to prove I am not afraid of no one, here in the USA or in Argentina.
I did not abandon my Argentina or my USA. Legally, I reside in each country when I feel like it.
My country Argentina is anti-british and will remain anti-british.
I repeat, former argentine president Carlos Menen did a mistake to resume diplomatic relations with the UK.
Millons of argentinians like myself don't give a shit about the Islas Malditas!
While you insists you are an “USA citizen” You don't dare how to stop the Taliban from further attacks against the USA.
You keep protecting your testicles and won't dare to fight against the Taliban because YOU ARE A WIMP!

Feel better sussue.......do
Hee Haw !!
what was your MOS bro?
There were large demonstrations with little or no trouble, this is true.
However this begs the question as to why they are demonstrating in the first place.
Although from what you say, there is probably not a simple answer to that.
@sussie US
If as you say, you live in the US, you do realize that makes you the target of Taliban attacks.
Better pray someone is defending you and doing a good job, or you might be the one who ends up splattered across a street somewhere by a car bomb.
@173 Captain Poppy
Sorry, what’s “18 bravo years” mean?
P,
you can have all the “cacerolazos” in the planet, until the “opposition” is organized , you will have this bitch for a long time in power. Just a thought

Easy to recognise though, the only Gardner in a miniskirt with hairy legs
LOL LOL LOL
Soozy is a lunatic & l wouldn't put it past the stupid airhead to show up, armed, at your place.
Next time, cut the Prozac in half!
He is obviously has an important position in CFK's government. “Coffee-boy” or something, at the Pink Brothel, in BA.
Not likely he'll get a chance to make it up to Boston.
If he does, I'm sure you could have him added to Homeland Security's “no-fly” list.
Hey, Isolde:
I have insulted the UK royals and I will continue insulting them.
As you can see nothing YOU can do except to read my insults.
@ 185 Zhivago “Chinese” = The Economist “Argentina cooking books” stated residing in Tierra del Fuego jejeje...
@186 Conqueror/Captain Poppy (ex-Scott Brown?)
He is using Senator Scott Brown name, address and phone obtained from the internet.
As I previously said, Conqueror/Captain Poppy is a Wimp.
Die bastard, the sooner, the better!
I wonder why the people are revolting?

What Conqueror/Capatain Poppy can do as he claims be ”usa citizen?
Nothing.

He does not know how.
Can he stop the Taliban from further USA embassy attacks?
No.
Why?
He is a british wimp!
“@ 183 Isolde Ysenserely Skare = Miedosa y asquerosa, still is looking for her 2 children chopped heads in the Islas Malditas. Her “vagina neck” needs the courtesy stiches, that's why she touch her toes for the brits. Her “vagina neck” is very large for the brits small penis! But, she still demands be known as “mrs”...She is nothing more than a whore!”
Mercopress is reviewing your account
I don't think that you are an enemy just because you have a negative view about arg., calling enemy to somebody who has a negative opinion about arg. or the gov., is actually a stupid distortion that is expressed all the time by the conservative and powerfull press from here, which has a huge push of power with c. f. k.'s government, i only believe that you are very missinformed, and buy so easily the too partial informations, the lies, or the distortions that are publised in the media, i already explained all my arguments in my message 168. On the other hand, if you think that soon there will be only chanels that support te government, this is evident that you don't know anything about the broadcast law that was approved three years ago, which still couldn't be applied totally for absolutly all the mediatic corporations, because of the powerfull lobby and the shamefull legal protection that the most powerull corporation of this country could get, (clarin) that's shows actually who is the owner of the power in this country.
Is it Troll shift change at the Ponk Brothel, or has Sussie been driven away? :-)
He's gone anyway.
BRITS WIN AGAIN !!!!
Your insults are as ineffectual as you are, loser.
Don't forget your morning dose of brake fluid.
lts good for your complexion, you know.
Hope he got banned after I showed The Moderator the post @188,
several other examples of his perverted hate-mongering.
With barely a trade surplus due to farm exports, what will they do when the impact of floods take effect?

Don't worry, nothing bad will happen, there are always protests against different governments, this is a free nation. In 2008 the protests against c. f. k's government, during the conflict with the oligarch rural landowners, were much worse than these, however she could boost her government like the great leader that she is.
“however she could boost her government like the great leader that she is.”
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL !!!
“The government’s policies have halted growth because they led to lack of confidence and of investments,” said Walter Molano, head of sovereign research for emerging markets at BCP Securities in Greenwich, Connecticut, an investment bank that focuses on developing nations. “Argentina could have easily continued growing 7 or 8 percent for years

Disappointingly, NOT banned :-(
A non-human. Not worthy of mention, really.
No substance to his posts, nothing relevant to any other posts.
Best ignored, I think. LOL
The meaning of the so called freedo, involves many others issues and its very complicated and long in order to explain them here, the point is that the government doesn't repress the social protest, it only represses if there is violence between the protestors.
