    Default Turmoil in Argentina

    Neoliberal Macri Regime Trounced in Argentinian Elections

    By Stephen Lendman Global Research,

    October 29, 2019



    Last August, opposition candidate Alberto Fernandez and running mate/former President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner defeated President Mauricio Macri by a 47.22% to 32.36% margin.

    It was short of a majority triumph, requiring a electoral runoff. Center-right Roberto Lavagna came in third with 8.39% support.

    In Sunday elections, Fernandez/de Kirchner triumphed decisively by 48% to Macri’s 40% support, above the 45% threshold to be able to declare victory in a two-party contest — results with 96% of votes counted as of Monday.

    Argentinians rejected Macri’s neoliberal harshness, serving Western and internal monied interests at the expense of the general welfare — transforming the country into an economic basket case since taking office in December 2015.

    Unemployment way exceeds the official Q II 10.6% level. Youth unemployment exceeds 25%. Underemployment affects most working Argentinians.

    According to Trading Economics, annualized 2019 inflation exceeds 53% through September data, likely to top 55% by yearend.

    Macri’s neoliberal harshness escalated after getting $57 billion in IMF financing in June 2018 — the largest amount ever by the notorious loan shark of last resort to any nation, what no responsible leader should have anything to do with.

    Its predatory lending practices come with unacceptable strings, demanding privatization of state enterprises, mass layoffs, deregulation, deep social spending cuts, wage freezes or cuts, other corporate friendly policies, marginalizing trade unions, and harsh crackdowns on resisters.

    It’s all about letting bankers and other corporate predators strip mine countries of their material wealth and resources, shifting them from public to private hands, crushing democratic values, hollowing out nations into dystopian backwaters, destroying middle class societies, and turning ordinary people able to find work into serfs earning poverty wages.

    Reportedly, President-elect Fernandez will discuss restructuring of crushing Argentinian debt with creditors, much of it odious, notably IMF blood money, default a possibility for relief of an unacceptable public burden.

    Argentina’s economy is on the brink of collapse. Desperate times call for tough measures to combat them.

    Debt relief is essential, the country in deep recession, poverty and unemployment increasing, millions of ordinary people suffering from neoliberal rule dismissive of their rights and welfare.

    One observer remarked that “(a)s in Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express, almost everyone (in the Macri regime, investment community and IMF) had a hand in Argentina’s ongoing economic and financial debacle.”

    Economic recovery depends on getting out from under the country’s crushing foreign debt burden.

    On Monday, Telesur reported that President-elect Fernandez
    “arrived at the presidential palace in Buenos Aires…for a meeting with outgoing incumbent Mauricio Macri where the two are expected to discuss the potentially tricky transition of power as financial markets watch closely.”
    On December 10, Fernandez assumes office, a potentially major power shift ahead if neoliberal harshness is mitigated or abandoned in favor of governance serving everyone equitably.

    Sunday’s electoral results rejected Macri’s rule, calling for positive change, wanting Fernandez to deliver.

    At party headquarters, he thanked supporters, saying: “We’re going to be the Argentina that we deserve because it’s not true that we’re condemned to this Argentina,” adding:
    “We’re going to enter the world with dignity. The government is back in the hands of the people!”

    The jury is out on whether he’ll deliver as promised.

    Argentina: New president pushes back against IMF nation-stripping and usury agenda

    Matthew Ehret FRN
    Fri, 29 Nov 2019 00:00 UTC



    President Alberto Fernandez • Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner © EIDla

    When Christina Fernandez de Kirschner was ousted from power in 2015, many thought that Argentina was lost to the international financiers which her late husband Nestor Kirschner (2003-2007) fought so valiantly against.

    The Kirschners together made a powerful team, valiantly fending off the Wall Street/City of London "vulture funds" which act as anti-nation state weapons of the oligarchy, feeding off the carcasses of dead nations whose murder they orchestrate through speculation on malignant debt serviced by draconian austerity and privatisations- all the while preventing all investment into the real economy.

    While other Latin American nations fell under this killer policy for decades, Argentina was one of the earliest to fight back in a serious manner beginning with Nestor's application of the sovereign rights of a nation to abolish all un-payable debt- making him and his wife public enemies of the international financier oligarchy. Christina not only continued her husband's struggle amid CIA/MI6-orchestrated slanders of "corruption" across Argentine media which mobilised desperate and uninformed masses to protest against her government, but also opened up the door to large scale infrastructure projects recognising in China the key to Latin America's salvation.

    Under Christina, "a golden age of Argentine-Chinese relations" was promised under the "Argentina-China Integral Strategic Alliance" with 20 joint projects signed including conditionality-free investments into energy, transport, agriculture and telecommunications. Unfortunately, with her ouster, the largest projects were cancelled including the Attucha II nuclear power plant as many industrialists, scientists and political allies of the Kirschners were run out of office and steered into prison on mock corruption trials during the Macri years.

    Now that Wall Street-tool Mauricio Macri has fallen after 4 years of austerity imposed on the people, Christina Fernandez de Kirschner has returned to power as Vice President alongside her husband's Cabinet Chief Alberto Fernandez who now serves as acting President. On November 26, President Fernandez announced that although he would honor those debts incurred by Macri, the policy of taking on more debt would stop immediately. President Fernandez said:
    "the first rule is to stop asking for money.... I won't sign any deal we can't comply with. Macri already did that.... If you have a problem because you are highly indebted, the solution isn't to take on more debt. I have a problem and I'm going to ask for $11 billion in more debt? It's like the guy who drank too much, and he's a little bit drunk. The solution isn't to keep on drinking; the solution is to stop."
    Zeroing in on the core of the fight, the incoming President said: "We have to produce once again, offer credit to reactivate production, give money to retirees so they can consume." The right to claim sovereign control of productive credit for the purpose of improving standards of living and cognitive potential is a fact which the financial oligarchy has worked tirelessly for generations to destroy in its pursuit for "world government" and "anti-growth ecologism". It is also this sordid unipolar intention which powerful nations like Russia, China and a growing array of states working with the Belt and Road Initiative have come to reject with an increasingly unified voice.

    Alberto Fernandez and Christina Fernandez de Kirschner will be sworn into office on December 10, 2019, emboldening the nationalist feeling in other nations like Brazil whose former President Lula da Silva, now released from prison, is already mobilising a vast support base which threatens to de-throne IMF-puppet Jair Bolsonaro, and Chile's fascist Pinochet legacy is finding itself rocked to the core by a population tired of being manipulated by international financiers.500

    For those who wonder why Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner is pictured side by side of the new president elect suggesting that she is the man (or woman) behind him. She is indicted in several court cases for criminal activities. As no judgments are coming forward in recent years I suspect that some arrangements have been made to let her run free and a former chief of cabinet be the president. All this casts doubt if the real interest of the people is being attended to. During the presidential mandate of Cristina Kirchner many highly corrupt things happened. As an illustration hereby the description of the crimes of her close associate and mega entrepreneur Lázaro Báez.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A1zaro_B%C3%A1ez

    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/27/w...cio-macri.html

    This is not slander but are seriously reported facts ( even if the above English language sources are known to be biased) , and the majority of voters don’t seem to have a problem with the situation, are enflamed by propaganda or don’t see an alternative.

    All that does not change the sad facts that the country has been ripped off by the excessive profits of so called vulture funds under the last presidency and of a population struggling with a highly increased cost of living and inflation.

    I don't know if this is a major developing story or not, but I felt it worthwhile to post this.

    1) The text:

    Multiple looting scenes taking place right now across the Greater Buenos Aires and some attempted instances in the interior of the country

    The Buenos Aires Province Minister of Security, Sergio Berni, confirmed that there are 36 detainees for attacks on shopping centers and supermarkets.
    He dismissed that they were merely spontaneous looting. "There were coordinated robbery attempts, there is an intentionality."

    Communist strikeleader Raúl Castells takes responsibility for the calls for looting, in Argentina since the current socialist administration the welfare programs are distributed by left-wing organizations which in turn utilize the welfare money to control the poor and direct them towards strikes, cutting streets, showing muscle and now to commit lootings, Raúl Castells boldly admitted in national television that his organization is actively calling for looting and organizing the groups whilst claiming to order only food to be stolen, as the video shows they're getting anything they can.

    https://t.me/CIG_telegram/34590



    2) The text:

    One of the supermarkets which was broken into in Buenos Aires province was set ablaze after it had been looted

    It is important to note that these scenes are playing out entirely in poor neighborhoods where there is an already large number of "planeros" (slang for welfare recipients) which rapidly mobilized, there are also reported scenes where shop owners took up arms to protect themselves and their shops from the looters in areas which police aren't currently patrolling.

    It is unknown what the federal government response will be as this was initially started by them and seems to have gotten out of hand with the communists stoking the now literal fires and ordering their planeros to go organize and loot.

    3) The text:

    Argentinean Left-wing leader Raúl Castells admits on television that they are behind the organization of looting throughout Argentina.

    Two days after Milei’s Dec. 10 inauguration, the price of meat had risen by 30%, and the total price hike for the week is approaching 100%. This has caused huge panic and shortages, as beef is one of the most important items in the Argentine diet. The price of fuel has increased between 35 and 65%.

    Argentine Economy Out of Control, as Milei Plans To Repress Social Protest

    Argentine friends report to EIR that in the week since President Javier Milei has taken office, basic economic markers have gone off the charts. What the government refers to as “repressed inflation” is hyperinflation revealed in the 3,500% annual inflation rate, which in its view, justifies the imposition of the savage austerity package announced three days ago.
    Two days after Milei’s Dec. 10 inauguration, the price of meat had risen by 30%, and the total price hike for the week is approaching 100%. This has caused huge panic and shortages, as beef is one of the most important items in the Argentine diet. The price of fuel has increased between 35 and 65%. By Dec. 18 or 19, Milei will present another major package of austerity measures to Congress including higher taxes and a decree on the deregulation of the state. One Buenos Aires-based economist reported that there are no plans to adjust wages to address the higher inflation. Over January and February, subsidies for utilities and transportation will gradually be eliminated.

    Anticipating that these austerity measures will provoke social protest, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich announced Dec. 14 a draconian law enforcement protocol to repress any public dissent and “maintain order.” Human rights advocates are charging that the new law violates the constitutional right of free expression and to protest. Since protests in Argentina often take the form of picketing public buildings or blocking streets and highways, Bullrich’s protocol prohibits any such activity and warns that “authors, accomplices or instigators” of such actions will be identified and imprisoned if necessary. “We will ensure the law is

    ❗️🇦🇷The Argentine government has found a way to deal with protests in the country: on the orders of Javier Milei, a registry will be created to include all protesters.

    Security forces will also have the right to arrest those who "commit crimes" during protests, will be able to operate on public transportation, confiscate weapons "such as sticks," and detain citizens who hide their faces while participating in protests, authorities said.

    Milei, who took office earlier this month on a promise to slash public spending, has announced sweeping plans to reform the economy and crack down on protests in recent days, setting up a potential clash with social groups that have pledged to oppose his "shock therapy."

    Protests in Argentina against P*mp Milei started. He "sells" the Mining Industry first to INVESTORS

    🇦🇷 - Argentina's Minister of Human Capital Sandra Pettovello said the government will deprive the participants in protests from social benefits.

    The new government decided to take such a step due to the announcement by public organizations and left parties of mobilization on December 20th.

    Argentine authorities fear that peaceful protests could escalate into violent fighting.

    That is why Javier Miley proposed the following option to social activists and the opposition - protests can only be held on the sidewalks, and the security forces involved in the operation can carry firearms.

    The protesters did not agree to this condition, which led to such a controversial step by the government.

    New on Zero Hedge:
    Socialist Protests Erupt in Argentina as Milei Implements "Austerity" Cuts

    In a scene that is probably a small taste of what is to come, socialist activists and workers unions carrying images of Che Guevara and Eva Peron converged on Buenos Aires to protest Javier Milei's impending “austerity” cuts. The cuts are a part of Milei's sweeping economic measures that will erase or rewrite over 300 rules regulating and restricting private enterprise within the nation.

    Deregulation, protesters say, will pave the way for big business interests while reducing welfare programs and protections for the public. The protests are of course built upon a number of assumptions and are reactionary at best, given that Milei has been in office for a mere two weeks.

    I tell you, this guy is bad news.
    Milei has now pulled out of BRICS, saying that he prefers to deal with 'liberal democracies' such as the US, Israel, Canada, and the EU.

    Argentina myopia

    First time I heard about Javier Milei was from an ex friend 4 years ago.The good news was that this politician was against all LGTB circus and against
    the society effeminacy...

    That was refreshing news for me to watch some videos...and I could not believe my eyes and ears !
    First I thought I'm watching a politic parody comedian show !
    Looks like a madman, talk so vulgar like no listen from any politician ever! That entity may be a presidential candidate???

    Only in a bizarre parallel Universe or bizarre future like in the movie "idiocracy"

    Well, it seems that bizarre "now" happen to be in Argentina...

    After the disaster from president Macri (who wanted USA basis in Argentina!) and took the infamous credit from IFM at the end his mandate!

    Came last peronist president Fernadez(center links ) who try to survive all of that, BUT he put Argentina on the map again!
    with the best chance for this country ever!

    Argentina in the BRICS could have got a prosper/independence/influence not only in Sudamerica but then sh1t happens!...

    How could that be?

    All Latinos I meet were Exited about...but non Argentinian...they don't knew nothing about! how is that possible ?

    First you can say they don't look any further than their dish...but no really...
    Then I remember the constant persecution from all peronistas ex governors in all median,(think like Trump is constant persecute...) and ALL big median are in "right" hand...of course they don't want "the people" inform about leaving USA behind and found new alliances with the "enemy"...

    Now, if "the people" don't got this information , all they know is turn to the right...I observed this turn on my ex friend, he knew about but have not understood the implications...

    More than55,5% Argentinians don't wanted this madman...and if i know my country... the purge come...and again a fantastic opportunity for the
    military too! (this time "we defend democrazy"... ) with little help from the North "big brother"...and so 40 years democracy is nothing again...

    That scenario is on the move...there are now "new" orders against manifestations, "weapons"(a stick),everything hiding your face,etc
    And if you are capture in any manifestations, you loose all social benefits ,support, etc .

    Will see, say the blind one...
