Arg Government Looks Into Putin's Solution

[henryb]

There was an interesting article yesterday in Venezuelan Analitica newspaper (original in spanish, english version via google translate).

They discuss a possibility of Cristina going Putin's way: to set up a temporary puppet president to comply formally with the Constitution, and keep actual power to herself.

It does not seem likely now that the Government will be able to change the Constitution to reelect Cristina for the third term.

Christina could marry a woman so as not to besmudge Nestor's aura. Then her wife could assume the Presidency.

I nominate the Central Bank head Mercedes Marco del Pont.

Using the Russian model, she may well become Prime Minister and one of her lackies as President.

Not quite new, is it? We have seen that scenario in Brazil already...

Well, this is nothing new. Campora did the same, he got presidency (Peron was banned) and later he quit, so he allowed Peron to get the 3rd Presidency.
