    The governor of Formosa, Gildo Insfrán, joined the "fear campaign" strategy promoted by the ruling party in the face of a potential victory by Juntos por el Cambio in the elections. He accused the opposition coalition that, if it becomes the government, it will seek to "impose order" through "bloodshed".

    Insfrán said: "Everything they say, if they want to apply it to the Argentine people, it will be with bloodshed, it is unsustainable. Even when one sees the messages that speak of order.... Order is good, it has to exist in everything in life. But order imposed by fire is useless", he said at an event.

    The statements by the governor of Formosa were in line with those of his Buenos Aires counterpart, Axel Kicillof, who is also betting on the "campaign of fear", and who said at an event that if Juntos por el Cambio returns to power the opposition coalition "is prepared to violate human rights".

    Says the governor of Formosa who has ruled his state through fear for the last 30 years.

    The best specimens of feudal governors are Gildo Insfran, Capitanich and the one who is in tucuman and la rioja

    not for nothing all are miserable provinces. if I were having all the power i wll withdraw the right to be an independent state and be merely a national territory as it happened in tierra del fuego, santa cruz, Rio negro and Chubut.

    just imagine the money you spare avoiding supreme courts, parliament and other useless bureaucracies.

    all governed from the executive power in BA.

    I never understood why their terms as governor are not limited to two terms like the presidency.

    because the provinces can have some articles which differs from the national constitution. A mere trick to keep the clients safe in a corral, giving them miserable subsidies but keeping the power for ever. that is only feudalism in the worst version, the peronist one.

    be aware that most of the citizens of those provinces are unculturas people, and the current power that this must be always maintained. the worst education creates faithful slaves.

    Ex-president Macri replies to Cristina Kirchner over her comments when she said that he let the gas pipeline die in Vaca Muerta, one of the biggest gas fields in the world.

    Oh and she took time to have a go at his mother which is very low indeed. She really knows no limits.

    The vice-president accuses me of not having built gas pipelines. Why should she have done so, if she had left us without gas to transport? Her government and her husband's were disastrous in energy, the worst in history: production fell almost every year, imports and subsidies multiplied. In Vaca Muerta they had done practically nothing. When we arrived we recovered gas production, we multiplied Vaca Muerta's activity by five and it was only then, thanks to that success, that a new gas pipeline became necessary. We made it ready to start the work. We had to push a button. But they didn't do it, they had two winters of high prices and now they are just opening it, after making the country lose 6 billion dollars due to their inefficiency and their business.

    And don't mess with my mother, vice-president, she was a good mother.

    And Macri should have been clearer about the debt he inherited back in 2015.

    I wish he had been MUCH clearer on the debt he met when he took office.

    But I’m glad he made her look like the shrew she is, by shaming her over her remarks about his mother.
