Im sorry Nestor, where did i say that the left won in Argentina?

What i did say is that the country now moves into a period of crisis
and where the left (and I'm not talking about Cristina here) have to
be able to read the significance of the vote, not just for Proyecto
Sur but others, and see how to relate to it. I mean, even Cristina can
see this and is extending her hand to Pino Solanas to try and build a
parliamentary alliance.

Yes, the vote was only in Federal Capital, but other similar
candidates got respectable votes elsewhere (though no where near 25%).
But it is a base to build on thats for sure, regardless of what you
want to make of Pino. I think it would be a mistake to ignore this
phenomenon or dismiss it as the "abstract left".

I would sum up the result as not a particularly good result for
anyone, with the exception of the positive result for the centre-left
ie Proyecto Sur etc particularly in Federal Capital.  And a
particularly bad one for the kirchneristas.
