Politics

Couple of words about the political situation.

It's not much different than anywhere else, meaning that the politicians don't give a jackshit about the people who brought them to power and are always occupied with stealing as much as they can. So nothing new here.

Ale's friend Fernando threw some light on the peculiarities of Argentinian politics last night. The funny thing is that effectively there is only one party here that counts, or - to be more specific - has any chance of getting into the congress. It's called JUSTICIANISMO or PERONISM

More about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justicialismo .
and here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justicialist_Party

Of course there are some other parties but they have virtually no chance to get their share of this country as Justicianistas have been having a firm grip on everything here for much too long. Curious thing about the party is that it consists of 3 fractions, namely left wing, center and right wing. This results in a mess that is particularily visible whenever there is any debate between the politicians, as left wing Justicianista is throwing shit on right wing Justicianista and vice versa. The president of Argentina is from the left wing. His name is Nestor Kirchner.

The above information is merely what I managed to understand last night from Fernando so it might be less acurate than the present situation really is.

That's about it for today. We're going to look for a flat later on and it's not an easy task. I will get back to this topic another day.

Cheers,
