It begs the question, what did Macri actually achieve?
Probably didn't stand a chance of improving anything. At least he wasn't a halfwit which made a nice change.

Indeed....the neverending story of Argentina.
In fairness, isn’t this (they simply want to tread water, hoping things won't get any worse, leading up to the ridiculous PASOS in August and the general election in October) the never ending story of politicians all over the world, in the run-up to elections?
Well Britos has decided to stay put in Chivilcoy instead of going with Milei. Sensible chap.
Piparo ..... interesting choice
Piparo ..... interesting choice
Her husband was charged with murder for running over two motorcyclists that he believed were bike criminals (motochorros).
He's only just had the ankle device removed and remains under house arrest apparently.
Here in the US, someone merely MARRIED TO a criminal probably wouldn’t get votes. But a real first-hand criminal? If not elected, would at least use the indictment to raise money! 😱😵💫🤪

Rice , you might not recall but Piparo was shot by some chorros coming out of a back about 11 or 12 years ago when she was 8 and a half months pregnant. The birth of the baby was induced but he only lived for a week.
Her husband tried to run over some motochorros in January 2021 in a separate incident and the testimonies of all involved are very contradictory. They were convinced that they were being attacked and she said her phone and her purse were stolen . However, there seems to be some dubiety about the story they told.
I didn’t remember that at all, GlasgowJohn . Thanks for filling in the back story.
When it looked as if the government candidate was going to be De Pedro, a last-minute meeting between CFK and Massa changed everything.
Massa is the main man apparently .
But maybe we should hang on until the submission of the final lists is over.
Interesting to see that Larreta has picked Morales from Jujuy as his VP candidate.
After this time away from Argentina, I see that I have a lot of catching up to do!

This 'surprise' announcement is related to the IMF in more ways than one, even though CFK is and always has been anti-IMF.
Also, Wado and Manzur as candidates would have meant an almost definite loss for the UP DOWN party.
I always reckoned on Massa being the candidate, but the big question is - will he be CFK's puppet just like Alberto is?
That is, if he is elected...he's a well known pancake/flip flop.

Good point , Splinter .
He will be no puppet that's for sure.
But he changes sides on a fairly regular basis within the current government setup.
He has done a decent job at stabilizing things when the dollar threatened to go through the roof. But inflation has got a lot worse.
He will be hoping for a civil war in Russia , to give him another excuse ....
Over the years, Massa has made veiled threats against CFK, saying that anyone with a conviction should be in prison and that he will always fight against La Campora and the so-called noquis culture.
A noqui is a person who is paid by a local authority or the government to do a non existent job and most of that pay is then grabbed back by local bigwigs.
I think I got that right...
Money going back to the party bigwigs?
Never a truer word.
Last week, I was chatting with a mate who imports food and drink. As everyone know there are few import licenses for expensive products. However for a small brown envelope, the civil servants will help you out.
But now they are asking for two envelopes - one for the big lads upstairs and one for them to help pay their electricity bill....

Excuse for what? And how would a civil war in Russia help him? Sorry to be so dense - - I have a lot of catching up to do!

Because this bunch will find anything to blame the crisis on. Literally anything.
An excuse to say that the economic crisis and state of the country is nothing to do with us.
It was Macris's fault....
It was the drought ....
It was the pandemic...
It was all those bloody expats eating in fancy places....
But now it is Putin's fault and the Civil War in Russia
Matches the nail polish?
