SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: KRAFT FACTORY DISPUTE IN ARGENTINA; 
HONDURAS; IMF-ARGENTINE TIES; 10/01/09; BUENOS AIRES 
 
1. SUMMARY STATEMENT 
 
Today's leading international stories are focused on the Argentine 
Government's handling of the conflict at the Kraft factory; the 
Honduran crisis; and expectations over a rapprochement between the 
IMF and the Argentine Government. 
 
2. OPINION PIECES AND EDITORIALS 
 
- "Kraft exposes weakness II" 
 
An editorial in liberal, English-language "Buenos Aires Herald" 
reads (10/01), "There will be no solution to the various conflicts 
mushrooming out of the Kraft factory dispute without a clear 
position from the government but any such clarity remains lacking. 
First and foremost, any government is responsible for maintaining 
public order and the free movement of its citizens, being entrusted 
with the monopoly of force for precisely that purpose... 
 
"But instead of taking control of the situation, the government 
wavers between the two sides. Its attitude towards the pickets has 
oscillated from countenancing an abrupt end to the five-week 
occupation of the Kraft factory last Friday... to its usual 
indulgence this week. As for its attitude towards the US (since 
Kraft is a US investment), this has veered from President Cristina 
Fernandez de Kirchner spending an entire week there (a hug with US 
President Barack Obama included) to scraping a meeting between 
Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez and the new US Ambassador Vilma 
Socorro Martinez the day after the president's return. And yet 
Martinez (a veteran labor lawyer who should find this problem right 
up her street) was only doing her job in trying to look after US 
investments (and over 150,000 Argentine jobs in the process). 
Perhaps even more inexplicable is the fact that in the midst of a 
white-hot industrial dispute CFK insisted on taking Labor Minister 
Carlos Tomada to the US with her while ex president Nestor Kirchner 
stayed behind at the last minute to keep atop of the media bill - a 
telltale picture of government priorities. 
 
"... The Kirchners reached power after the picket situation span out 
of control with the mid-2002 slayings in Avellaneda - will the cause 
of their advent also be the cause of their demise?" 
 
- "Honduras, isolated in the hemisphere" 
 
Leading "Clarin" editorializes (10/01), "The international isolation 
of Honduras has worsened as a consequence of the institutional 
rupture and the maintenance of an illegitimate de facto regime... 
 
"The clandestine return of ousted President Manuel Zelaya to the 
country and his taking refuge at the Brazilian Embassy in 
Tegucigalpa was not enough to turn the direction of events in his 
favor. The de facto government is supported by the military, most 
political leaders and part of the civil society. For his part, 
Zelaya lacks enough domestic institutional support to be restored to 
power. The unusual thing in the Honduran situation is the 
international condemnation including that of the US, whose 
government has explicitly voiced its support for the 
re-establishment of democracy. 
 
"Nevertheless, the foreign isolation and international statements in 
favor of democracy have not been enough so far to put an end to the 
serious crisis in the Central-American country... 
 
"The persistence of the Honduran institutional crisis damages its 
people and the entire region while isolating the country from the 
rest of the hemisphere, in an anti-democratic, anachronistic move 
that should not endure." 
 
- "The IMF still does not see gestures of rapprochement from 
Argentina" 
 
Silvia Pisani, daily-of-record "La Nacion's" Washington-based 
correspondent, writes (10/01), "Only 24 hours away from the IMF 
Annual Assembly in Istanbul, the mystery increases on chances that 
the Argentine Government will reach an announced agreement with IMF 
authorities to enable them review national accounts. 
 
"The hurdle remains the same - while Economy Minister Amado Boudou 
says he intends to approach the IMF, he cannot find the way to do it 
without breaking President Cristina Kirchner's discourse, who claims 
the IMF should review (the country's accounts) although it should 
refrain from opining. 
 
"... In recent hours, Washington and Wall Street analysts said the 
rapprochement is imminent. One of them summarized, 'The Argentine 
Government has so much work to do that it better starts as soon as 
possible.' 
 
He was referring to the goals enumerated by Economy Minister Boudou 
(reaching an agreement with the IMF, coming to terms with the Paris 
Club and making a proposal of payment to 'holdouts'). 
 
"All three things go together and are part of the same goal of the 
minister, who wants the country to return to the voluntary capital 
market... 
 
"Expectations over a rapprochement go in parallel with a mounting 
doubt whether the Minister's good will would be backed by President 
Kirchner who while at the G20 Summit in Pittsburgh again said she 
was not willing to let the IMF review the country's accounts."
