El Espectador reports Argentine President Cristina Fernández Show me the Money! de Kirchner told Uruguayan Foreign Minister Gonzalo Fernandez she intends to end the blockades at the bridges into Uruguay by people protesting the Botnia cellulose pulp mill.
For those of you not aware, Argie protesters have blocked the bridges into the country on and off for two years. They claim the nasty, polluting plant, built by the Uruguayan third world lackeys from Finland is an environmental threat. Of course, the competitive disadvantage of Argentina’s technologically inferior plants have absolutely nothing to do with it.
Mr Fernandez explained, “I mentioned the claims Uruguay makes at every forum regarding the highway blocks to the president. I can say that her answer was understanding and positive regarding this issue.” A few days earlier, the Argentine Foreign Ministry released a statement denying that it had plans to end the blocks, stating that only the Justice Department had the authority to do so. Members of the Gualeguaychu Environmental Assembly rejected Fernandez’s statements and said it was an operation by the Uruguayan press to affect the blocks. Assembly member Jorge Pouler said he does not believe the news from Montevideo.
The Uruguayan officials clearly don’t understand the game. Cristina and her good ole boys and gals are fond of findings several hundred thousand US dollars in cash in the restroom when such matters are at stake. Christina Show Me the Money! says the executive restrooms always have suitcases in them for just this reason.
