Hush now Argentina, don't you cry.

category international | politics / elections | other press author Monday December 10, 2007 22:34author by señora donzella morales chavez - 4 terms for 2 club Report this post to the editors

Something quite extraordinary has happened in Argentina. & to appreciate it, all you really have to do is wonder how many spouses see each other serve in the highest office of their land. Hilary obviously pops to mind, but the you get the absolutely extraordinary nature of the new Argentinian presidency - for not only is it legitimatised by one of the highest electoral margins in democratic history - there was no need for two terms of a Bush type (or to be completely up-to-oligarchy style) the son or daughter of a rival.

Yep - admit it you political experts & know-alls are hard put to remember any other state where a president has served his constitutional limitations then handed the sash & baton to his wife. Or indeed the other way round.
I wonder do they ever play presidential sashes in the bedroom?

In a very poignant statement to his followers, party membership and press, the former President of Argentina & currently "first gentleman" (being the spouse of the current president of Argentina), Mr Nestor Kirchner admitted the party he has led since 2008 had lost in both houses of the parliament and noted I want to dedicate myself to the pursuit of liberty. When a result is not what one wanted, one has to take into account those opinons and act accordingly and institutionally we believe that is for the benefit of democracy. never forget that

Indeed as the world moves to isolate the rogue state of Honduras and many of its neighbours have announced the withdrawl of their embassy staff and ambassadors tonight, the thoughts of Kirchner whose democratic regime finally saw the "mothers of mayo" give up their protests and declare the dark days of Latin American coup d'etats to be finally over, were particularly poignant.

were they not?

& then the illegitimate government whose soldiers woke him at gunpoint in his pyjamas will they say arrest on 14 charges including drug trafficking, corruption, banana peeling, bad fashion sense & anything else in a normal state of law which would have been properly put through the courts and been processed with a warrent by police before hand.

before hand.

Presidenta Kirchner will also be accompanied by several other heads of state and the secretary general of the OAS and some VIP from the UN both organisations to which the usurping Honduran regime have now "de-accredited" their ambassadors. (¿?)

It will be fun to see if Honduran & international telly is back on so people can watch the arrest live & write letters afterwards.
