The New, Investor-Friendly Argentina (Warning: Politics)

[AmigoArtistico]

The government has made it a priority to attract new foreign investment capital.

To do this, among other things, it has:

• Attacked the country's businesses as destabilizers (an extremely serious accusation)
• Called them traitors and antipatriotic
• Fined them for breaking voluntary agreements after the govt pulled a surprise 20% devaluation
• Encouraged citizens (by its rhetoric) to demonize and picket businesses and business leaders: (e.g., Tensión en una marcha de Quebracho contra el supermercado Coto por los precios: http://www.lanacion.com.ar/1665431-quebracho-coto)

Perhaps, understanding that these measures have not been enough to show how business-friendly the new Argentina is, the government is now considering the creation of laws to limit profits.

I think we can expect billions of dollars of new foreign capital to begin rolling in any day now.

This is SO true.

I think allthough that might be a common behavior among expats groups everywhere.

Examples of bashing Argentine culture?

I guess a majority dont like FpV / Kampora on the whole on the forum, starting to look like a statistically accurate position amongst locals and ex-pats alike.

Since you're here, where do you stand? So far all we see is sniping from the sidelines and emoticons.

I don't see that criticizing economic policy is bashing the culture. I don't know if the Ks deserve bashing or not. Are you saying that the Ks were not responsible for the cited policies or that the cited policies have worked well?
