It is true that today we have inflation and still do not have in place sound anti-corruption policies. And also that the middle classes are enervated and that there are still at least three million socially excluded individuals. But at least we take the streets and protest, and we have free schools and hospitals, in many cases unsatisfactory, but we do not suffer what the over 40 million dispossessed individuals suffer in Mr. Cohen's country, who cannot go to free public hospital because they simply do not exist.

I have some differences with the current government, but it is the government chosen by the Argentine people, and the day it concludes its job it will only be because another party won in free elections. Meanwhile, what people like Mr. Cohen opine about Argentina with such hubris and ignorance makes them appear pathetic. As much as those who here celebrate his ignorance and hubris.
