SEGAL COMMENTS ON CRISTINA; 08/10/07 
 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Key international stories today are related to the 
Argentine-Venezuelan relationship following the scandal of the 
800,000-dollar suitcase found at Jorge Newbery Airport; the current 
status of the US economy; and comments from Susan Segal, head of the 
Council of the Americas, about First Lady and Senator Cristina 
Kirchner's bid for Argentine presidency. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "An abnormal and dangerous relationship" 
 
Daily-of-record "La Nacisn" front-pages an opinion piece by 
political columnist Joaqun Morales Sol, who opines (08/10) "... 
The (Argentine Government's) official version that everything was 
delayed in handling the scandal (of the 800,000-dollar suitcase 
belonging to a Venezuelan passenger disembarking at Jorge Newbery 
airport from an aircraft chartered by Enarsa state energy holding) 
not to bother Chvez, who was in Buenos Aires by then, indicates 
that things with him always work in a weird way. 
 
"Did not seven people on board know who the eighth one was, which 
was precisely the very one carrying almost 800,000 dollars? Chvez 
and Kirchner always brag about the extreme control they exercise in 
their respective countries except when things become difficult or 
suspicious. It must be easy money. 
 
"... Amid all this one finds (Kirchner's) clumsy relationship with 
Chvez. The fact that a country depends on another to pay off its 
debts or to obtain the indispensable energy it needs is too serious 
itself. Even more serious is the fact that mysterious transfers of 
seemingly illegal money are made between two state and oil 
corporations." 
 
- "Doubts will disappear when the bubble is deflated" 
 
Business-financial "El Cronista" carries an opinion piece by Gabriel 
Snchez, President IERAL (Institute for the Study of the Latin 
American Reality)-Fundacisn Mediterrnea, who writes (08/10) "The 
volatility of international financial markets seems to be endless. 
The bottom line of this volatility is uncertainty about the future 
of US real estate and loan markets and its impact on US consumption, 
activity rate and value market. 
 
"... While economic indicators reveal that the US economy is 
distancing itself from the risk zone, the Federal Reserve has 
maintained short-term interest rates under the argument that the 
threat posed by inflation has not been dismissed yet... 
 
"... One of the Federal Reserve's main fears has long been the 
destabilizing and inflationary impact of the real estate bubble... 
This is why it has refrained from performing an immediate 'bail out' 
through lowering interest rates, which could help to maintain the 
bubble... 
 
"... All this happens now that the world economy is in very good 
health. Other than the US, Europe and East Asia show a seemingly 
strong and steady growth. Emerging countries are even more dynamic, 
boosted as they are by high international commodity prices, although 
the other side of the coin in this case is that they have been 
punished by the so-called 'flight to quality'... 
 
"Argentina still has good indicators that could make it attractive 
again, but in order to reach this goal it should first correct the 
deviations in its policy created by elections. This is crucial 
because while the Government can afford to make debt payments 
without resorting to international markets, next year Argentine 
companies' funds will no longer be enough for the needed investment 
and it will be imperative to access foreign credit markets while 
avoiding high increases in the cost of capital." 
 
- "The US looks to Cristina's bid for (Argentine) presidency" 
 
Marcelo Bonelli, economic columnist of leading "Clarn," comments 
(08/10) "Susan Segal, the influential head of the Council of the 
Americas, paid attention in silence to all critical statements from 
US businessmen. 
 
"In the confidential meeting, businessmen and bankers focused their 
criticism on the (Argentine) Government's anti-business attitude and 
they expressed their doubts about the future of the country's fiscal 
accounts and the economic plan. 
 
"Segal understood their complaints, although he made a surprising 
statement 'You must know that Argentina's current political scenario 
does not offer expectations other than those of Cristina.' 'For now, 
 
governance in Argentina can only be guaranteed with Cristina's 
triumph.' 
 
"In this way, Segal expressed the prevailing opinion among the 
members of Manhattan's financial and economic elite, in spite of the 
reservations that Nestor Kirchner still prompts and the doubts about 
Cristina Kirchner's will to make real adjustments."
