Government and "campo": the conflict for power

I t is curious that the French media have almost made no reference to impact social and political lives in Argentina for about three months.
blocked roads across the country, constant protests and even "cacerolazos, mainly before the seat of government. A large increase in food prices and that warning of a possible désapprovisionnement. This is the current landscape of Argentina.
But what the political and social situation is due? In March, the government announced a new measure of retention vis-à-vis the huge agribusiness export revenues. Measure that has caused war between the government and the bosses of agro, soybeans being the symbol of the food market product.
should know that Argentina has in recent years one of the leading exporters of soybeans in the world, which enabled the country to emerge quickly from the crisis of 2001. This agricultural market, supported by large multinationals like Monsanto among others, has become the main source of the country. Notwithstanding, the entities that develop model soybeans are simultaneously responsible for environmental genocide of millions of acres of timber and land, eviction of peasants and indigenous communities, poor and rising food prices , the poisoning of whole communities by agrochemicals and finally the breakdown of local and regional economies.
Large pools of soybean enjoy privileges that have proliferated during the era of Kirchner and now cover half of the most fertile land in the country. For five years, gains that are in the billions, have been distributed among the pools and the government. Today, the conflict for the retention led to a power relationship between these patterns of agro and the government, after it was allies go for five years.
The measure introduced by the Government would not be unhealthy for a fairer distribution of wealth: because even though Argentina is among the largest grain producers in the world, much of its population continues to much to be malnourished. This could be what it takes the country to alleviate hunger, until a real reform of the economic model, but the fate that the government will give those gains is at least questionable.
Another point of this measure: the retention indiscriminately affect all farmers, which means that small producers will struggle to cope and will disappear in favor of large producers.
It is this context that triggered the great conflict that lives in Argentina now, and although the French media have not mentioned, it is still quite alarming. Social protest is great, but both divided because there are sectors which are aware that the underlying problem is not that retentions but the lack of agricultural plan which calls into question the model of soybean implemented in Argentina.
It certainly is not in the interest of government and big bosses to challenge a model that generates hunger and unjust distribution of wealth in inflation with limited expansion of consumption that favors only the most affluent areas, the rising prices of food and low and falling growth and access to employment, despite the addition of the economy. These are
all the points that have been forgotten by the "pots" of Argentine protesters and government speeches.
