In regards to Nisman and what is obviously his murder, it is important to note that there is a deep internal conflict between the Argentine intelligence agencies, particularly within the ex-SIDE, as well as Army intelligence. The intelligence services are the only part of the military who have not had their budgets left to wither to inflation, and they're quite powerful behind the scenes. The new Chief of the Army is the former army intelligence boss, and he's been beset by accusations of involvement in the dirty war (and is most certainly guilty in some degree, there are witnesses who place him inside clandestine detention and torture centers). I don't know if he had anything to do with this, but it goes to the general context that these are institutions that operate how they want and with a fair degree of insulation from the rest of the state.

Both the AMIA and Israeli embassy bombing investigations had a very tough going from the beginning, and they have not made much progress. The intelligence services have been involved from the start. The whole thing with Iran was a cock up that went nowhere.

It's rather tenuous and fantastical to think that the President ordered this man killed, but it is evident that he clearly knew something, or was extremely close to discovering something important. This is probably an internal fix.

E:

This is because a hundred and fifty years ago the 7th male son of a family would be pretty much destined to be a social pariah. At the very least get beaten up at school etc. At worst killed or driven to live in the mountains or something. The tradition of the president becoming the godfather (or godmother, now) is so that nobody would gently caress with these poor kids (given that there was no foundation, surprisingly, that these kids would turn into werewolves). It's obviously just a silly photo op for a slow news day now.

It used to be pretty fun to read the (supposedly) former SIDE agents forum, seprin.com.ar, to see what are the new conspiracies around the government and everything in the news but now It looks like they weren't loving around.

I think it was in 2013 or early 2014 that there were cacerolazos every time the president spoke on tv, and that was almost daily.

Could be that Brazil thanks to the Mato Groso and Amazonas is somewhat isolated from the rest of the continent save from the southern border with Paraguay, Argentina and Uruguay. So they don't share a lot of common history and cultural ties like you could encounter with gaúchos and their neighbours.

What are the odds of toppling the Argentinian dictator and electing a competent human being?

The front runners are Scioli, a peronist governor with a mannequin hand, Macri a neoliberal smuggler with a rich daddy who lives in a different reality and Massa, a Macri clone but a little more street wise.

Unfortunately I fear the usual thing will happen and progressive parties will get 5 votes and then splinter into 6 factions.

Fun fact, the PASO are only applicable to Cambiemos, Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabajadores, and Unidos por una Nueva Alternativa. Every single other party/political grouping is already proposing a unified list for the Presidential/Vice-Presidential candidates. So of the 12 PASO lists, popular vote will only have an effect on 3. What a fantastic system.

But every candidate needs a certain % of the votes to be able to participate in the general election so a lot of those unified list wont even get that many votes.

I liked the method used in the last elections in Buenos Aires. It was a mixture of electronic vote and the traditional system. The machines were used like printers and then voters had to cast their physichal vote in ballots.

:rip: Argentina

That's usually what happens from one government to the next really. I'd be surprised if you managed to NOT find dirt on someone after four years in power. I thought she was a candidate for the PARLASUR? The Mercosur parliament or some other bullshit. She's had plenty of health problems lately so who knows if she (or the country) can survive another four years.

E: At least the schadenfreude from both sides right now is glorious

My favorite conspiracy theory is that she put Scioli as the presidential candidate because would give the victory to Macri and she would be the opposition leader and come back in four years or earlier.

While I disagree with a few friends who insist that fascim and democracy are one and the same, extreme right-wing poo poo being on the rise all over the world kinda makes me wonder if I'm the one on the wrong here.

I legit don't know what'll happen during the next Argentinian primary election, but at least we haven't got (yet) our very own Bolsonaro.

We already have our own flavor of Bolsonaro.
