Cristina is Hurting Her Favorite Vacation Spot

Despite her frequent visits and adoration for the glaciers of Argentina, Cristina made a disastrous decision today to veto a law (ley 26.418) that would protect the ancient, awe-inspiring glaciers of Argentina’s southern Patagonia, according to Taringa!.

The law would have protected such areas as Perito Moreno, as well as 354 other glaciers that are currently within the National Glacier park zone, from mining, excavation and drilling for minerals and oil. This is a monumental decision because of its direct connection with the water quality for many living in Argentina.

The next step is for the law to pass before the legislature for further review.

If the Argentines were smart they would demonstrate against this as they did with the farmer’s strike. This will not only affect the agricultural aspects of this country, but will also detrimentally affect tourism, which is the main bread and butter for those living in Patagonia.

This will be one to keep an eye on…

    This reminds me of the short-sighted attitude we see in the US with the constant pressure to drill in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge. For the sake of Argentina and its natural treasures, I hope someone wises up and gets this legislation back on track.

    QR,

    Do you think she accepts money in Dollars or Pesos?

    Katie,

    We hope your right. Maybe Cristina and Sarah “Drill Baby Drill” Palin can take a long walk on a short dock together?

    Suerte, Jamie
