Mark Dubowitz and Toby Dershowitz in NBC News: “Argentina’s new leadership carries old baggage of corruption and conspiracy allegations”

December 23, 2019 by Comms FDD

Argentina’s new leadership carries old baggage of corruption and conspiracy allegations

The baggage contains both economic and moral peril for the South American country, as well as danger for its tenuous relationship with the U.S.

 

The following is an excerpt:

[…]

The U.S. should signal to Argentina that it will not support its bailout if it backtracks on the Macri government’s counterterrorism efforts. This includes holding Iranian officials accountable for the AMIA bombing, including maintaining Interpol’s red notices.

Argentina’s newly installed vice president may have temporarily evaded judicial punishment. Only time will tell if she is held to account for her alleged corruption, and whether Nisman’s case ever receives the justice it deserves. Both will in large measure be determined by whether Fernandez is able to assert the kind of leadership that the people of Argentina need if they are to wake up to brighter futures. So far, there is little reason to think that will happen.
