[Peace-discuss] Argentine Primary

[Mildred O'brien]

Ha!  Alberto Fernandez, former law professor and head Cabinet Minister in the Kirchner administrations, had defeated by a large majority the austerity candidate and current President Mauricio Macri, in the Argentine primary.  Lamented by BBC and NPR as a "leftist likely to default on their $56 billion IMF loan as in 2001" (like that was a bad thing) Fernandez won the popular vote by a large margin over Macri, center-right and former student at Columbia Business School and favored in the U.S. business circles, as the stock market immediately fell by 15%.  You can be sure that The Establishment in  Argentina, United States, U.K., Brazil and every other capitalist concern in the world will do everything in their power to prevent a Fernadez victory in the final vote on October 27, making the "Russiagate" fiction look amateur.  The populace of Argentina who endured the economic collapse of 2001 and recovery by their own bootstraps have observed what's happening to their neighbors in Brazil. Midge
