Argentina has a "peronist" government now so they're ostensibly anti-imperialist even if they're not left wing.
there's a lot of right-wingers who identify as peronists, the term is pretty vague - it's more like "someone associated with the kirchners" for fernández
funny thing is that he was presented to me as being a soft centrist like haddad ("conciliador" as we say here), which kinda bummed me out
but he's actually good and looks even farther left than lula, which, granted, isn't hard to be, but it came as a very positive surprise to me
new winds are blowing here guys, and they're coming from the left :hexbear-shining:
Damn we have several prominent posters on here from Argentina, could it be ratline related :curious-marx:
Seriously though that's sounds good. In my limited knowledge of Argentinian politics I also was told he was a center left lib that just opposed US meddling in the continent, but he seems to keep sounding based when I read news about him. Granted that's all foreign relations news though.
What do you think is next door the left in Argentina?
wait i'm brazilian, by here i meant south america
didn't know i was a prominent poster lol
Well, Argentina wasn't the only place, uh, displaced Germans ended up
we had the honor of having mengele himself dying on our coastline, but we bred our own nazis too
i don't know if you edited the previous post but regarding this:
but he seems to keep sounding based when I read news about him. Granted that’s all foreign relations news though.
he has attempted to nationalize vicentin, but i guess the backlash was too rough and he backed off
he also made an unclear move at making cell phone networks, internet and cable tv public services , whatever he means by public (i don't care about the tv thing, but ubiquitous access to the internet would be great)
he's definitely no chávez and no evo, but he's good if you couple that with his foreign policy
Fernandez is in the Justicialist Party, is it just a social democratic party? Its part of the Frente de Todos which has a majority seats in the gov, and includes a lot of leftist parties including the communist ones.
Interesting, I honestly know very little about Argentinian politics.
Hopefully Chile joins them when their new Constitution gets sorted out
