New Argentine leader rallies Mercosur against Venezuela

Buenos Aires (AFP) - Argentina's president-elect Mauricio Macri said Monday he would call for Venezuela to be suspended from the South American trade bloc Mercosur over its government's alleged rights abuses against political opponents.

"We are going to invoke the democratic clause against Venezuela," Macri told reporters.

That protocol allows a Mercosur member to be suspended with the agreement of all the others if it is seen to have violated democratic principles.

Macri added: "It is appropriate because of the abuses and the persecution of the opposition" in Venezuela, where right-wing rivals of President Nicolas Maduro have been imprisoned and barred from elections.

The market-friendly conservative forced a political shift in Argentina by winning a runoff election on Sunday, ending 12 years of leftist government.

Argentina's outgoing President Cristina Kirchner is a Maduro ally.

Venezuela holds legislative elections on December 6 that opinion polls show the opposition could win, raising the prospect of a broader rightward trend in Latin American politics.

Mercosur's full members are Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela.

Venezuela's opposition MUD coalition hailed Macri's victory as an encouraging sign that change could follow in their country too.

Macri's win "goes hand in hand with the imminent victory of the Venezuelan people on December 6," it said in a statement.

Your new president-elect, Mauricio Macri, looks like a refresh in change for Argentina. I hope it turns out that way.

Me too. I wish the new President all the best, but as you know Argentina has become an unmanageable country destined for economic catastrophe unless they give up the love affair with the Peronists. The Argentine people will have to be prepared for some pain before Macri can right the Argentine ship. But I have a bad feeling that his term will run out before he can fully right the ship, and the Argentine people are far too inclined to look for shortcuts to prosperity. I expect they'll give him one term, then turn back to another hardline socialist who will sink the ship while blaming his/her predecessor.

But you know me Jeff, I a pragmatic pessimist

Except those aren't ISIS. They are the 'rebels' supported US and most western countries. They are also the one US (the current government) wants to lead the future of Syria.


One of the two Russian rescue helicopters were destroyed with the death of one Russian marine. If you look at the clip closely, you can see the missile they used was US made and probably supplied by the US.

Members of La Campora urinating and defecating in front of the Metropolitan Cathedral last night after the election results. As an act of insult to the newly elected President and a protest against Pope Francisco. Please excuse the partial nudity, but it is there to make a point on the disgusting nature of these individuals.

For those of you that are curious as to what “La Campora” is, it is basically a type of Hitler Youth created by
