(Disclaimer: Sorry for the lame prologue, I don't know how to set this up otherwise)
I was talking politics with my dad earlier today (I'm a socialist, he's very liberal, heavily influenced by his experiences during the Argentine dictatorships) and we were talking about something that's going on in Argentine politics. He mentioned to me that according to clarin (an oppositionist news site), the two most powerful people in the country are the president, Cristina, and a labor leader named Moyano. Sorry if I don't have all the facts straight, but this is the situation according to how I remember my dad's explanation: A swiss bank asked for the Argentine government in investigate Moyano for corruption because he and his family (all involved in the syndicates) are doing bad things (vague because I don't know what they're actually being accused of). Instead of allowing the possibility of an investigation, Argentine labor unions are almost having a general strike soon in defense of their labor leader, Moyano, instead of allowing the investigation to take place. For all they know, Moyano is a corrupt son of a ***** and should be replaced, but instead of allowing an investigation to take place (and even absolve him of any crime) they outright try to prevent anything from happening. I wanted your opinions on this.
Thanks in advance!
