El Cronista: “For fear of the vulture funds, Cristina prefers that Obama be re-elected”

 

·         In his column in La Nacion today, Carlos Pagni writes about a broad range of speculations about the impact of either an Obama or Romney win in the US elections.  In one section, he notes that among Romney’s many traits, “Romney has entrusted part of his savings to financier Paul Singer, head of the Elliott fund, which is suing Argentina in the courtroom of Thomas Griesa.  Singer managed to attach the Frigate Libertad and, on December 15, hopes that Bank of New York pays him part of the funds that Argentina will disburse to bondholders that entered the swap.”  More: “Elliott won the enmity of Obama when it tried to obstruct, as a minority shareholder, the rescue of General Motors being pushed then by the White House.  With Romney, it would gain an important political plank, capable of strengthening Argentina’s creditors.”
