CFK Out of Touch with Poverty in Arg

[YanquiGallego]

Check out this YouTube clip of a recent chat the Queen had with an Argentine woman living at poverty level in La Quiaca.

Cristina appears mortified that the woman says she has never ridden before in a subte, and offers to pick her up in the presidential private jet, Tango 01 (which has been used quite a bit lately LOL) all while the woman is trying to interupt her and argument that she has more important things to worry about (like putting 3 square meals in her stomach) than having ever ridden in a subte, to which Cristina blatantly ignores and carries on with her stump speech about the greatness of the subtes/colectivos in BA.

Clearly she only sees or hears what she wishes to.
Without wishing to bang the same old drum (sic), this is why she finds the caserolazos so irritating as she can't switch them off.

I really loved the sybolism evoked as she's sandwiched between the Argentine flag and what appears to be a reproduction of the building near the Obelisko with the light sculpture of Eva erected on two of its faces.

And at the end she talks about how the subte and colectivo continue with the subsidy of the great Argentine State.

But at least the poor woman to whom she is referring and asking about riding in a subte can't quite be put off with all those shiny things Cristina offers her. Wow - a ride on the presidential jet and a ride on the subte. Like everything else Cristina does - smoke and mirrors.

Idiot.

Thanks for the post Yanqui.
