Argentine Transport Minister Mario Meoni dies in road accident

1. Bad news for the administration, as well as Meoni's loved ones. What a shame.

His participation in the upcoming negotiations would have been centrally important, it appears, from this article. He was clearly needed as a principal part for the President.

Looked for images of the enormous, complex project site in google images, was astonished at the actual vast area, and the amount of movement involved. Here is the link to views of the waterway, the traffic, maps, it's unbelievable:

The timing does look questionable, as this man's input would be invaluable in this project. It does throw a wrench in the works to lose him now. He would have been looking forward to this powerful accomplishment for the country.

So disgusting the Trump den of gargoyles was keeping many close ugly eyes on it all along, too. It really wasn't their place to be announcing their opposition to whom Argentina chooses as business partners in mega-projects. None of their slimy business.

It's also bad news to learn the current Buenos Aires mayor is a hard-right idiot who seems to be following Trump's position on Covid-19, bumbling around and leading the huge city into a far more desperate struggle through his ignorance and hatefulness.

Hope Fernández is fully recovered and vaccinated appropriately now, and personally out of harm's way. He probably wasn't expecting to lose a key member of his closest appointees. Best wishes to him in completing the project successfully.

Thanks for expanding our awareness on Argentina, peppertree.
