A federal court in Argentina sentenced on Tuesday Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to six years in prison for the crime of "fraudulent administration" in a case on the direction of road works in the province of Santa Cruz (south) during her administration as president (2007-2015) and that of former President Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007).

I really didn’t think this was seriously going to happen. Even more disappointing is the president acting like he can just reform his way out of a government ran by corruption and the wealthy.

    Doesn’t Kirchner represent the left-wing of the Peronists? If so, this is bad news. There was apparently quite a bit of street fighting and protests after her attempted assassination.
