I recived this msm via cell phone two hours ago more or less: "a las 20 en todo el país bocinazos y cacerolazos y apagon p 15 mt por pedir un basta para cristina. Pasar el mensaje, la convocatoria viene desde ro" (at 8 pm in the whole country bocinazos and cacerolazos -no idea how to translate that- and turning off the lights for 15 minutes to ask Cristina -the president- to stop, pass the message, the calling cames from ro?). The number was anonymous, I aswered with "dejate de joder" something like "fuck you or stop fucking" -it works both ways- . After that and since one hour ago the fútbol frenesí flooded? the downtown (again)... shit! :shock: :roll:

and it seems this afternoon I´ll turn on the tv again after two months & maybe I´ll revisit (with luck) 1955 (the oradores order with the difference of two ours didn´t surprise me at all. And yeah, I know that won´t make things easier here! :lol: ). Send good vibes to the parts in conflict dealing with a latinamerican capitalist democracy almost unipartidista. I´ll be somewhere meanwhile :roll:

It was odd to listen to a PJ´s president or person talking against corporativism... but (maybe) these ones are good news!!!!! :) : it seems
the Congress will take part at least.

today the landlord of my building invite me to cut all the access to Rosario in protest because the litre of oil (used for cooking) is ten pesos already (and yeah, I remembered that I bought it at the beggining of the year at 4 plus something pesos). He was joking but at some point it sounded more interesting than other protest offers!!!!!
The feeling in the bus, in the school and also in me was "hey, why didn´t she send the retenciones proyect to the Congress 100 days ago and all this burden maybe could have been avoided?". Thinking that the PJ has the majority in the Congress I really have no idea... there are divisions now in the party in relation with the retenciones móviles point and the K lidership, but they always tended to act so in bloque in the last years that it´s difficult to think in an inconvenience or an obstacle in the government goal.
And today there is (another) acto in support of the government in Buenos Aires. I wonder about if it´s necessary or not. From my particular point of view is not necessary neither oportune for a lot of reasons. The president will talk (again) in national-chain from there.

it seems the president & husband will keep talking to the masas! :shock: and that the Congress-way will not be so easy this time for the government. Also it seems the rage-craziness wave is a bit more enterteined inside the Congress and in its surroundings (really an argentine-god´s blessing :roll: the fact that in the last months there was only one person dead -when a Plaza de Mayo´s luminaria crashed and hit spontaneusly in his head- as product of this conflict). The real-real country-conflicts continues, of course.

See the gobierno-ruralistas zoo-carnival´s latest version (carpas, a penguin, a dove and a bull inflables in front of the Congress) :

the second votation in the senadores was 50-50 but the vicepresident Cobos as president of the senado voted against the government proyect. I saw the video when he voted and what he said... he looked like he would vanish at any moment, he hardly could speak!!!!! :shock:

So, I guess the soja (or not soja) small, semi-small, big productors & corporations are specially happy with that.

well, it seems Cobos recovered himself fast and speak in every microphone he has in front during all the day!. and the president was suddenly eliptic in Chaco.

There are lots of articles trying to do sin-thesis now of the last months. A kind of discourse re-acomodation to be able to keep thinking?, maybe. I keep tend to see the conflict only as as a rough-plain (and at the same time complex) economic-politic power interests friction. But yesterday I re-found in a funny way a Nietzsche quotation "One must still have some chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star" and I wondered about our chaos and the winkie word some. :roll: :lol:

Today an article mentioned the suddenly/strong emergence of the "ruralistas" actor as a Frankestein made by the government and wonders about what will Frankestein and the government do (among other things). Have you ever read Frankestein?. I don´t! I only saw cartoons and suddenly aparitions in comic films...
