Buenos Aires

Overview

From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0).

• “We also visited one of our great partners in the Southern Cone: Argentina. With President Mauricio Macri and our partners from Uruguay and Paraguay, we pushed ideology away from Mercosur. We also have been able to achieve important victories in terms of international trade, by successfully finalizing negotiations that had been going on for decades without a conclusion.”

• “Human rights are not only violated by terrorism, repression or assassination, but also by unfair economic structures that creates huge inequalities.”

• “The Argentine anti-trafficking statute is notoriously broad, encompassing everything from forced labor to sexual exploitation to document irregularities. Prosecutors with a strong anti-cult bias have used it repeatedly in cases involving spiritual groups, real or imagined.”

• “Until the end of World War II, Argentina and Australia were running in parallel. Today, they separately demonstrate what a luxury it is to be a stable, prosperous, democratic nation with a dependable constitution. Australia is all that and more, and Argentina, after yet another implosion of the civil order, is once again none of it and less.”

• “These days, the American dream is more apt to be realized in South America, in places such as Ecuador, Venezuela and Argentina, where incomes are actually more equal today than they are in the land of Horatio Alger. Who's the banana republic now?”

• “As many people as necessary must die in Argentina so that the country will again be secure.”
