Provinces in revolt

James Neilson en el Buenos Aires Herald:

"The farm protest has given the federalist cause an unexpected boost. In many provinces, including the ones ruled by Peronists, either the governors or their local rivals are complaining bitterly about a tax system that deprives them of what they think should be theirs by right. Forced to choose between voters and the Kirchners, many have opted for the former. Fully aware of this, farm leaders are busily undermining local politicians who continue to support the central government. Sooner or later, their efforts will have a big impact among parliamentarians: once enough of them feel that the wind is blowing strongly against Cristina and her spouse, Congress will cease to be a rubber stamp that automatically approves everything the government wants, including those allegedly emergency powers that permit it to rule by decree."
