Argentina General Discussion 🇦🇷

Carlos Menem has died at 90 after a long series of health problems.

A sad day, despite all the issues he had during and after his Presidency. Nevertheless, this also shows that the prophecy is coming true.

Which prophecy?

Looking at the grand cycle of Argentine history, we find that things function in roughly 70 year spans.

1810-1880
1880-1945
1945-2021

Similar to the period between 1940 and 1945, people are dying that symbolize the old culture and politics. In these years, Alvear, Roca's son, Justo all died. While now, people like Maradona and now Menem have died. This is a strong signal that the political-cultural cycle that started in the 1940's is coming to an end, along with what it represents.

Alberto asked for Health Minister Gonzáles García's resignation after journalist Verbitsky revealed in an interview he called García in order to get vaccinated.

Looks like Argentina has taken diplomatic pettiness to a new level: the official statistics on confirmed cases etc include numbers from Falk- er, nuestras Islas Malvinas lmao

It was always included this way, since the start of the pandemic.

I wouldn't trust the current political system to make a new electoral one, so I'd understand why they don't propose it.

Chubut is one of the worst run provinces and Arcioni one of the worst governors, i'd be pretty pissed too if i lived there.

Curiously, I live there.
