Argy Strike Drawing Nearer
The threat of industrial action by Argentine farmers seems to be drawing ever nearer as the realisation sinks in that the government there is simply employing delaying tactics to avoid a repetition of last years dispute.
Foxy Argy president Fernandez knows that she simply cannot give in to farmers demands. Firstly, it would make for extremely bad press, but secondly and far more importantly, the Argy government is far too heavily reliant on taxes on grain exports to reduce them.
Argentine Agrarian Federation President Eduardo Buzzi, who it is said harbours strong political ambitions of his own, told reporters Wednesday that "time has run out."
Farm leaders called off a proposed strike last week in favour of one more crack at talks with the government. Surely by now they must realise that they are banging their heads against a brick wall?
Fernandez might be a hot babe compared to Maggie Thatcher, but then again Mrs Nogger #1 was a hot babe compared to Maggie Thatcher, but she is still a politician - and a female one at that. Therefore, by definition, she is possibly not unaware of how to string a man along with a bit of a storyline whilst comfortably removing his trousers. It's high time that Buzzi woke up & inhaled the coffee.
A farmers rally is planed for Feb 20th in Cordoba. And guess what? Planting of double cropped soybeans is now complete leaving farmers nothing much to do until April/May, funny that isn't it?
