As an Argentinian I feel I have little to no rights, I can't buy dollars or euros legally, if I want to eradicate myself in other country I can't take my money with me, I don't have freedom of speech without fear of persecution, my tax money support barely legal/terrorists groups like La Campora (they also get jobs in a of public offices with outrageous high salaries because they contribute with half of their wages to La Campora). I feel like I am living in a socialist country without the perks of live in socialist country. Part of my salary pays for all the social programs while retire people and disable people had to barely make a living with their low pensions. I feel disgusted by this country, I want to go away but I can’t find a way yet.

I'd say it's even worst, you can't take the money with you, even if you eradicate yourself in Argentina!

To buy dollars is not a human right!!!!!!!!!!, jajajajajajaja

Ok, seriously talking, check the CELS website. It is the most respected NGO. I used to work there regarding police violence, torture and murdering (prosecuting police men)

The publish every year an annual report that is super complete and accurate about the HR situation in Argentina. It might be available at the website, for sure it is at the Biblioteca Nacional.

Don't be dicks....what she's saying is that her ability to manage her own financial situation is being controlled akin to Stalinist socialism. The oversimplifaction of this is the ability to hedge inflation by buying another fungible financial instrument like USD, Euros, Gold, maybe even BitCoin and others. And she's right! Why should a government be able to arbitrarily restrict such things, why should they be able to levy a 20% surchange on travel abroad or tickets bought by foreigners to return home. Why should they be able to prohibit a foreigner from changing back pesos to USD even at the official rate upon leaving the country.

She's correct...don't dogpile on her becuase you're not smart or creative enough to read through the lines of what she's trying to say (in her non-native language even). Wankers.

That said, there are a few people worthy of being "eradicated" here....most are holding office and/or controlling the unions.

Well, there is not a right regarding to free speculation on foreign currencies. Sorry about that.

I know it is a pain in the ....ss the dollar restrictions but guess what? you live in a country with debt and the dollars are used to avoid the default instead of paying for I-phones. I know, you miss the 90´s where they just were taking loans to sell dollars at 1 peso. Interesting. We know how does it finishes.

If there is default, lots of people are going to have real problems regarding their human rights like to do not starve like it was happening during 2001.

Seems that you confuse the rule of law with slavery. Sorry, there is also a bann regading the commerce of cocaine. And it is more profitable than saving dollars under the matress. Yes, this is Cuba, how can the State arbitrary restrict my right to make profit selling cocaine????

You can travel, be honest. I just both a trip to Rio at the official rate.

I forgot it, how can i be so naive???? You have to pay with credit cards to get the official rate...its worst than Cuba, the AFIP is going to realize that you don t pay taxes!

What kind of country is this??? We also have to pay taxes????? This happens because the Montoneros are in the government. This country is like Noth Korea!....or....is in the US where is so difficult to evade taxes???? so...I don t understand...they are montoneros....but they copy the US....something here is wrong....you.

It would be too boring to address all your nonsense and I have a pizza to make. BUT...you are assuming that people are "speculating" on foreign currency. So in effect what you're seemingly opposed to is capitalism. She's not talking about speculation. She's talking about transferring her "labor" from a currency made ineffectual and unwelcome in most countries do to a blundering, ineffectual government into something that actually holds value better (or has less risk associated with it). The people here that hold pesos are going to have a much bigger problem soon that those who hold a basket of fungible assets that include USD, Euros, Gold, Silver, maybe EFT's. Do you really think these people should be forced to hold pesos? Are you going to invite them to your table when 20 pesos can't even buy an empanada? You seem like one of these crazy Campora zipperheads.

I understand the issues and problems caused by currency restrictions. I am affected by them as much as anyone. But, anyone who is arguing that not being able to buy dollars is a violation of your human rights needs to gain a little bit of perspective.
