Argentina must not waste its crisis

Thursday, October 3, 2019

A man looks at a poster placed on an advertising board that reads "Yesterday, Braden or Peron - Today: Griesa or Cristina", in Buenos Aires July 29, 2014. Argentine debt negotiators held talks in New York on Tuesday with the U.S. mediator in the South American country's battle with holdout investors, in a last-ditch attempt to avert a default. After a series of setbacks in U.S. courts, Argentina has until the end of Wednesday to either pay the New York hedge funds in full their defaulted bonds resulting from the country's 2001/02 financial crisis or cut a deal to stave off a fresh default. The poster refers to 1945 U.S. Ambassador in Argentina Braden Spruille, former Argentina's President Juan Peron, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Thomas Griesa and President of Argentina Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

A former rebel (R), who now owns a clothing factory, oversees a worker in his workshop in Bogota in this photo taken on February 3, 2015. Fighters from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), which is currently in peace talks with the government to end 51 years of war, face a complicated path to employment and a life away from crime as they try to reintegrate into society. Demobilized rebels are popular recruits for crime gangs and will have to overcome prejudices to become economically independent after they graduate from government reinsertion programs.
