ARGENTINA is facing ECONOMIC MELTDOWN as Inflation hits 138%, Interest Rates are now at 133%, the country is in the middle of a 3 year DROUGHT, the PESO has been DEVALUED and the country is facing a PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION on 22nd October. The new leader in the polls is a controversial far right candidate who wants to SCRAP the Peso & the Central Bank and move Argentina to using the US DOLLAR.

who, along with his father before him, supports the goals and history of the fascist military Dirty War dictatorship. They knew what they were doing, and it would place the following progressive administration in an unbelievable hole at the beginning, which it would be fighting to overcome every single day, leaving the country desperate for change. They trusted the public to be so desperate for change they would accept another fascist again. They relied upon short memories, and ignorance within the public.

It has become a pattern, obviously. So damned sad.
