Cfk Opens Door To Moving Capital

[camberiu]

Is Cristina trying to pull a Juscelino Kubitschek?


President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner last night threw her weight behind moving the capital to Santiago del Estero, an idea hitherto only pioneered by Lower House Speaker Julián Domínguez. This unexpected proposal “for a new territorial design in a changing world” came during a visit to that provincial capital to inaugurate infrastructural works ahead of this Sunday’s elections in the northern province.

Alfonsín proposed this for Viedma some 20-plus years ago. If your idea is to relocate the capital to the country's most corrupt province, though, SDE would be a strong candidate.

Buenos Aires might become a much better city if they move the federal government elsewhere. I am all for it.

I don't think the lobotomy worked.

She's comparing herself with San Martin. I mean, is she even a Freemason?

Scare tactic to divert attention away from all the other more important problems. Like failed lobotomies.

La presidenta se refirió elípticamente a la oposición y pidió que no le traigan encuestas en las que el 80 o 90 por ciento de los argentinos está en contra. "Si fuera por las encuestas no hubiera hecho absolutamente nada. Es más, creo que si San Martín hubiera encuestado si cruzaba la cordillera le daba negativo"
