Nepotism in Argentina.....surely not? 
Here at local Governemnt level I could write a book about such things.
In the UK these practices would be headline news and the offendors shamed. Whereas here it's just seen as normal and accepted.
I'm afraid, UK Man , that you might be surprised at the state of government in the UK now. I know that I am daily shocked by the slithery creatures under every overturned rock in the US government, and even under Nixon, I never felt that way before.
Back in the 60's and 70's nepotism was very common at local government in Glasgow.....jobs, houses and favours for those who knew the right people. It had been going for years before the media started to name names.
I'm sure it still goes on to a certain extent but nowhere near as much as it used to because they know they'll get found out.
Here it seems to be accepted just as a perk of office.
Good for her I would do the same. It's the suckers who vote for these people that are to blame.
Although her grubbing for every peso when she has already sucked so much money out of the country is really infuriating, UK Man has a good point: the voters put her in a position to keep taking. And the law must be on her side?
Hate to say it but I'm afraid I can't take the accusations made against her at all seriously.
Really???

Iran, Nisman. Lazaro Baez, Los Sauces, the taxi driver's diaries to name but a few. I take them all seriously, but she has a Teflon coating.
Really???
I'd love to however I suspect even after a court case or ten nothing will happen.
It's one thing believing the charges and accusations but quite another being sceptical about if she goes to court or not.
Anything is possible here.

So you think it's right that this woman should receive nearly $1 million per month and pay no income tax on that amount?
Personally, I find it outrageous and hypocritical in the extreme, but certainly not out of character. She's no Evita and has done zero for poverty in this country, except in buying their votes with social security hand-outs and creating a culture of parasites.

Of course it's a nonsense but of it's allowed then so be it. It's just another example of why Argentina is a basket case with no sign of it ever being anything else.
I refuse to get too worked up by what goes on here.
Gosh, UK Man , you are very sanguine about all this. You will surely live to be 125 years old.
Not if I stay here I won't!!
