Argentina Upset over US
Actions
Argentina was very upset
over US actions, which
it says are an offense
for the country, media
reported Wednesday.
Foreign Minister Jorge
Taiana expressed his
country's position to US
ambassador to Argentina
Earl Anthony Wayne, who
he summoned to the
Foreign Affairs Ministry
Tuesday night, after
returning from the
Mercosur Summit in
Montevideo, local press
stated.
Taiana said in a
40-minute hearing that
his country is surprised
and unjustly offended,
as to investigations
from the Miami justice
on the case of
Venezuelan-US citizen
Guido Antonini Wilson.
According to sources,
the foreign minister
pointed out that for
Argentina, "the idea
that the presidential
campaign would have been
financed through
procedures of that
nature has no support,"
alluding to $800,000
confiscated from that
person here in August.
According to reports
from Miami, that money
appears to have been
destined to the
electoral campaign of
the then candidate and
current President
Cristina Fernandez de
Kirchner.
Spokespeople from the
Foreign Affairs Ministry
cited by several media
indicate that Taiana
passed to Wayne "his
people's displeasure and
uneasiness faced with
the US government's
attitude as to the
case."
They also stated that
the US government must
undertake the necessary
actions to concrete the
extradition of Antonini
Wilson immediately
required by the
Argentinean justice
after the incident
occurred in an airport
in Buenos Aires. |
