In reply to the discussion: Investigation launched into five 1976 disappearances linked to Argentine Finance Minister's family [View all]Judi Lynn
(160,516 posts)1. Horrendous! This was a heavy operation, wasn't it? Huge, ponderous, oppresive.
I am learning it was far more pervasive, more heavy-handed than I already had learned through research, and keeping alert to info. in the public realm.
Starting to see how deeply sinister it is for a Prat-Guy to be part of this administration. After reading your excellent article, I found this one while looking for info. on "Prat-Guy":

Los Unitarios Prat Gay
Prat Gay, ese señor que no soportaría un Presidente santiagueño
Pero sigamos con Don Jorge.
. . .
Durante la gestión de José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz al frente del ministerio de Economía (1976-1981, es decir todo el período que tuvo a Videla como presidente de facto), formó parte de la
En dicho período su Compañía Azucarera del Norte fue ampliamente favorecida por la política crediticia del banco oficial del que formaba parte, que le otorgó en mayo de 1980 facilidades por 1.400 millones de pesos para financiar la producción de azúcares blancos de la zafra de ese año.
Cabe acotar que en la composición del directorio de la Compañía Azucarera del Norte de la época figuraban, al menos, cinco integrantes con el mismo apellido que el director del Banco Nación aludido: Fernando de Prat Gay (presidente), Máximo de Prat Gay (vice), Jorge de Prat Gay (director delegado), Gastón y Amelia de Prat Gay (directores, sin funciones ejecutivas a cargo).
Los nostálgicos amigos de la dictadura como la Sociedad Rural y distintos empresarios, todos tomadores de préstamos, que gracias a las gestiones de Cavallo (quien apoya abiertamente a la Alianza Cambiemos) y Melconian (integrante de la misma) pagamos todos cuando estatizaron la deuda, ya deben estar sacando la cuenta de cuanto van a ganar ante un eventual triunfo de Macri, de cuya Alianza Cambiemos, Alfonso es vocero.
Pregunto: ¿realmente tomás en serio a un tipo que goza del afano de tierras a los diaguitas, que se benefició por que la deuda que contrajo su familia la pagamos todos los argentinos para agrandar su fortuna (y hasta tal vez le pagáramos sus estudios en el exterior con nuestra plata), cuando nos está dando cátedra de eficiencia y ética.?

But about Don Jorge.
During the administration of José Alfredo Martínez de Hoz at the Ministry of Economy (1976-1981, that is to say the entire period had Videla as president de facto), he was part of the leadership of the Central Bank.
In this period the Company Azucarera del Norte was widely favored by the credit policy of the official bank of which he was part, which awarded him in May 1980 facilities by 1,400 million pesos to finance the production of white sugar of the harvest of that year.
It should be noted that the composition of the board of the Sugar Company North of the era included at least five members with the same surname as the bank manager alluded Nation: Fernando de Prat Gay (president), Max Prat Gay (vice ), Jorge de Prat Gay (deputy director), Gaston de Prat Gay and Amelia (directors without executive functions charge).
Nostalgic friends dictatorship as the Rural Society and individual entrepreneurs, all borrowers, thanks to the efforts of Cavallo (who openly supports the Let's change Alliance) and Melconian (member of) we all pay when they nationalized the debt, and they should be taking account of how much they will earn before an eventual triumph of Macri, whose Alliance's change, Alfonso's spokesman.
I ask you really are serious a guy who enjoys the struggle intently land to diaguitas, which benefited from the debt contracted her family paid all Argentines to enlarge his fortune (and perhaps even pay him his studies in outside with our money), when we are lecturing efficiency and ethics.?
The more you inform you that you realize that calesita are always the same names (or families). Partners in the past imposed by a dictatorship, and that today could legitimize larceny through voting.
Unbelievably disgusting. Horrendous.
"Nationalizing the debt" definitely jumps right off the page, doesn't it? (Privatizing the profits, of course.) That's an old, OLD, filthy bunch of crookedness, isn't it? OMG.
Thank you for this important news on this bunch of grifters, forest444.
We can only hope to see justice, in the end.
