Look, I dont support this administration nor read Tiempo Argentino or Pagina. I just like some of the policies this government made.
So to you the US was involved in dictatorships in the 60s and 70s and then magically stopped participating in politics? Societies are much more complex today, democracy is a lot more harder to control, but they still have a HUGE weight in current societies, they are a very important political and economic actor. Not by chance we have more than 100 US corporations in our everyday life. They have interests you know? they concentrate their interests in one specific political actor, the US embassy.
The US embassy was and is involve in Argentine politics for a long time, as it was the UK embassy during the XIX th century or the german embassy during the two world wars. The US embassy has a political projetc, a socio economic model to this country. It is the right. They governed in the last dictatorship and during Menemismo. To me, the two worst governments this country ever had.
La Nacion supported every anti democractical and anti constitutional government this country had. They were VERY CLOSE to the last dictatorship. They supported Videla. And Menemismo. It is not more the agrarian richs that control the country. Or La Nacion. The new richs, born in 1970s and continued in 1990s are not more linked to the campo but to the financial Capital. Thats the people who rule this country. And La Nacion represents them. Of course the campo people still have some power, but that is the past, it does have strong simbolic power and they explain a huge percentage of Argentine GDP, but they are not the ones who rule the country.
question: how do you think this policies, this model of a country, how these ideas, this interests get to the people? how they penetrate the society, how they get allies, IF NOT BY THE NEWSPAPERS AND TV?
