Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner (“CFK”) has just picked Amado Boudou as vice president candidate. It would be impossible to understand in another country, but this is just Argentina.
CFK, as her predecessor, Mr Nestor Kirchner, are typical peronists: no ideology, no ethics. They just love power and populism to profit from commodities-numb “richpeople”.
The vertical, almost monarchical picking up Amado Boudou is a typical case of late phase Peronist Government. As with General Juan Domingo Peron, when he felt ill and weak he just embraced his closest friends (dictators and mob heads including Franco, Stroessner, Hitler, Mussolini, Trujillo, etc.).
In this case, the peronist in command has gone beyond any imagination: picking a CEMA professional. CEMA is the learning center I feel proud of, a Chicago University students, an orthodox economics school teaching the good things you get when letting the market forces flow. If Mr Boudou has ever attended at least one lesson of this school he would never be doing what he is doing right now (destroying the economy, scaring all investors but the Kirchner’s friends).
Can the CEMA publish Mr Boudou’s marks? I’d be happhy to hear that. I will call the CEMA and ASK for that. He does not deserve to be an economist. I am sure he is not en Economist.
