While the whole world is dealing with the killer virus, Argentina's current government just signed a 111 million dollar deal with Israel to upgrade Argentina’s tanks. This plan was put forth by the FPV diputado Agustin Rossi back in 2015 during the Macri administration. But President Macri nixed the plan before it got off the ground. Rossi is the same guy that put his 26 year old daughter Delfina Rossi as head of the Nation Bank.
She resigned after Cristina left the presidency In 2009. Rossi's constituency attacked him with rotten tomatoes, eggs and horse manure when he visited his home province of Santa Fe. The contract with Israel was done without public bidding. Which means that the whole thing was rigged from the get go. I keep thinking why does Argentina needs 74 tanks to be fitted with state of the art technology?. Are we going to be invaded by some bordering country???. Not likely. The fleet of tanks about to be upgraded never saw a single day of action. Never.The $111 million dollar deal is custom made for big time skimming millions into the pockets of current politicos in charge.
111 divided by 74 comes to $1.5 million dollars per tank. All that money could be better spent on feeding the poor,
housing the homeless, create work study programs, increase the minimum wage for retirees, help the indigenous people of the North, etc. Today there are people that don’t have proper sewage or running water. I don’t think this a good time to be spending millions on tanks. The whole thing is a total scam. With Lazaro Baez at least people could see what work was being done or not. Who's going to see what if any or how many tanks are being upgraded ?.
