As of this morning, Alberto is busy backpedaling to get out the Vicentin mess Cristina pushed him into.
Amazing he is only now
realizing that perhaps "expropriation" is not such a good look or clean word after all...
1. The explicit rejection of Roberto Lavagna, who is his main economic adviser in the shadows
2. Spontaneous demonstrations in Santa Fe against the decision to expropriate Vicentin
3. The strong casseroles in the Federal Capital
4. The doubts raised by the main business chambers
5. The resounding fall of Argentine stocks in global markets
6. The charge of abuse of power filed by representatives of the opposition
7. The political crisis facing the governor of Santa Fe, Omar Perotti
8 . Unanimous criticism of agricultural organizations
9. The controversial legal argument to support the political decision to expropriate
I would also add:
10. Stark rejection by European and foreign diplomats in Argentina concerned about investor rights
11. As I understood, the expropriation provisions Albie was using are actually emergency laws leftover from the dictator era. Awkward.
Somehow this guy is supposed to lead us through the worst economic crisis the country has ever faced.
