Noone started a thread, because no one is argentinian but...
lets remember
On December 19 there took place the conclusion of a political process that ended badly. It had *corralito, you protest, plunders, cacerolazos, repression and dead men. De the Rúa he went away in helicopter and the country had five presidents in 7 days.
Today it is fulfilled half a decade of the **cacerolazos that started in different sea neighborhoods and that then came together in the Plaza de Mayo. Thousands of citizens demonstrated fatigated of the political corruption, of unfulfilled promises and, especially, of the confiscation of his savings product of the "corralito".
In December, 2001 he found to a government member of Alianza Popular debilitated by his desertions and internal clashes, which had cracked and virtually emptied his political base, since like that also for the round failure that the urns had marked him in the legislative elections, two months before.
Grasped to his minister of Economy, Domingo Cavallo, maker of the convertibility in times of the menemismo and fervent militant of the neoliberal orthodoxy, the night of December 19, with the sonar of pans for the sea streets and in the Plaza de Mayo, De the Rúa his end began to flutter.
It is that, there, De the Rúa he saw to be ruined the little that was staying of his political capital that, for this then, was supported almost exclusively by a sea middle class that was going out of his lethargy after which the political decisions were touching squarely his pockets.
Anyhow, the impulse of the sea ones for going out to the streets was the culmination of a condition of social boiling and widespread violence, which was sealed by the plunders to supermarkets in the poorest points of the conurbano and in some localities of the interior of the country, where seven persons died.
To it there added the repression that in the dawn of December 20 was opened by the government in the Plaza de Mayo and his surroundings, which it was answered in the principal cities of the interior of the country and they took the number of dead men to 35 for the violent episodes of those days.
In the first hours of December 20 surrounded by his inability to re-channel the situation and in the frame of an increasing wave of violence and repression, De La Rúa he decreed the state of siege for 30 days.
But the measure was roundly ignored by citizens who continued populating the streets to the shout of " that go away all ".
After it, in a last desperate attempt of De La Rúa for re-constituting his political authority, the minister of Economy gave a step to the side and, together with him, all the rest members of the office put to disposition his resignation.
Too much late like to refloat the complex and critical stage that jaqueaba institutionally to the country, De La Rúa he tried a political negotiation that was allowing him to survive as president and a "co-gobern" to propose the justicialismo. But already it was too much late: not even a good part of the radicalism was supporting it and the Frepaso was doing moment that had emigrated.
De La Rúa he took a time to write the resignation for his own fist, sent her to the Congress, and took the helicopter that led it to Olive trees to withdrawing his things. It went to the 19.45 of December 20, overflew the square and received the echoes of the insults. 740 days had happened only since 9.000.000 of Argentinians took it to the government, an extraordinarily short time to plunge the Argentina in the worst crisis in decades.
Well, that was a little resume.Sad history for Argentinians, but that was the reality
and a few words you dont understand
*corralito:Restriction of the amount of money you can leave from the bank
**cacerolazo:lots and lots of people asking the actual governament to all people who had a political charge, leave it.
Discuss?
