OT- Argentina, what a country!

[Andrés]

We’re making ourselves heard.
In the Last elections Last year (for senators) the majority of votes were blank or impugned. The message was clear, we want to vote, we want a democracy but we don’t want any of these candidates.
And now ever since December 20 there’re demonstrations almost every day.

I believe that the politic class is broken and falling in pieces (and they’re taking the whole country with them), December 20 was only the beginning.

The word politician as became a synonym of corrupt and thief.
I don’t want to believe in that, I think there are still a lot of honest politicians, but they’re being corrupted by the system or at least they have their hands tied.
But the problem is that people’s hatred is directed against the politicians, and of course no one wants to be one of them.
So, how do you create a new generation of politicians if no one wants to be one of them?

The immediate economic situation is pretty bad. It was the detonating of all what’s going on, but it’s also another reason no one wants the power now, you need a lot more than good intentions to solve it.
I’m not an economist, but the restrictions to bank operations have been described as a time bomb.
Only a very skilled economist would know how to set it off.

I do believe that right now people pressure is strong enough to make those in power work on a solution to this immediate problem.

So right now I can only see two possible futures and none of them is pleasant.
1- The government can’t find a solution soon enough. (the ones we have now or future replacements) The country goes into some kind of anarchy or civil war. And only after that long painful period we can hope to have a different kind of government.
2- They find a “temporal” solution, the economy is reactivated and starts to slowly grow again. The people is appeased and the problem is forgotten, the politicians win and everything is like before. Until the corruptness of the system makes all this start again.

I just hope we can find a solution to the economic problem (that is a consequence of the political problem) before the whole country falls in pieces, and we find a way to clean the system so we can have the country we deserve.
¡Viva Argentina!
