fondos buitres, valga la redundancia

Recibimos este texto de Eduardo Román Di Cola - Diputado Nacional (MC) :                                                         

FONDOS BUITRES SEGÚN EL WASHINGTON POST         

Lamentablemente una y otra vez se repite en la sociedad argentina la actitud de los que prefieren hacerse eco de los medios y opiniones de afuera, aún en contra de nuestros propios intereses.

Esto es lo que está sucediendo por estos días  cuando se habla de los fondos buitres. Los de siempre, los que no pierden oportunidad para menospreciar el esfuerzo que los argentinos venimos realizando los últimos años, negando incluso los importantes avances que como sociedad hemos logrado, tienen la oportunidad de enterarse a través del Washington Post como actúan estos fondos en contra de nuestros propios intereses. 

DIARIO "WASHINGTON POST"

"EL FONDO DE INVERSION  PAUL SINGER ES EL MEJOR COMPAÑERO DE LOS CANDIDATOS REPUBLICANOS"

Esto es lo que titula el "Washington Post" en una nota de agosto pasado. El título original es:

Hedgie Paul Singer is GOP candidates’ best pal 

• By MICHELLE CELARIER

Con referencia a la convención del partido Republicano, la nota destaca la importancia e influencia que tiene el fondo de inversión (buitre) Elliott Managment fundado por Paul Singer.

En el primer párrafo de la nota dice :"...This week’s Republican convention has proved to be the political coming-out party for hedge-fund heavyweight Paul Singer and his $19.8 billion Elliott Management..."

Luego destaca el aporte que el fondo de inversión hizo en favor de los candidatos republicanos por la suma de 3,7 millones de dolares. En efecto, dice:

"...Employees of the firm, including Singer, have given more than $3.7 million to a wide swath of Republican candidates this year...."

Luego señala que Paul Singer aportó al comité de campaña de Romney la suma de 1 millón de dólares

"... Singer gave $1 million to Mitt Romney’s SuperPAC alone. ..."

El archi conservador fondo de inversión dejó las huellas digitales en toda la convención Republicana favoreciendo a todos sus candidatos

Dijo el diario: 

" ... The arch-conservative hedgie’s fingerprints are all over the convention, with his favored players..."

En otro párrafo señala que Paul Singer y sus empleados se encuentran al tope de los contribuyentes en favor de los 23 candidatos Republicanos al congreso: 

"...Singer and his employees have been a top contributor to 23 Republicans running for Congress ..."

El candidato más beneficiado con los aportes de Singer y su fondo buitre es el  Congresista en la Cámara de Representante y actual candidato Republicano a Senador  por Florida Connie Mack.

Connie Mack y Singer están estrechamente vinculados. Mack impulsó en la Cámara de Representantes  un proyecto en favor del fondo buitre  para presionar a Argentina. 

Incluso con anterioridad se habían presentado sendos proyectos  en dos períodos parlamentarios anteriores sin lograr que fueran  tratados por las comisiones correspondientes.

Textualmente el párrafo expresa: 

"... Mack is close to Singer in another way. Several months before he announced his Senate candidacy, Mack was the leading sponsor of a bill designed to pressure Argentina to pay Elliott $2 billion that the hedge fund claims it is owed.

The two parties have been in court for almost a decade now regarding defaulted Argentina debt that Elliott bought in the secondary market.

Similar bills have been introduced in two prior Congressional sessions but have never made it out of committee...."

Defensa y Victoria, Libertad e Independencia, Triunvirato y Avenida de los Incas!

Hedgie Paul Singer is GOP candidates’ best pal

This week’s Republican convention has proved to be the political coming-out party for hedge-fund heavyweight Paul Singer and his $19.8 billion Elliott Management.

Employees of the firm, including Singer, have given more than $3.7 million to a wide swath of Republican candidates this year.

Singer gave $1 million to Mitt Romney’s SuperPAC alone.

The arch-conservative hedgie’s fingerprints are all over the convention, with his favored players — Chris Christie, the tough-talking New Jersey governor who gave the keynote address Tuesday night, and Paul Ryan, the vice presidential candidate — playing key roles.

Bloomberg

Employees at Paul Singer’s (above) Elliott Management are the largest single contributor to Florida Senate candidate Connie Mack.

But there is another, lesser-known convention speaker with close ties to Singer: Connie Mack, a Florida congressman who is running for the Senate against incumbent Bill Nelson. Mack is scheduled to speak tonight, right before a video of Ronald Reagan.

Singer and his employees have been a top contributor to 23 Republicans running for Congress, but few received more money than Mack.

Elliott Management employees are Mack’s top financial backer, giving a total of $38,413, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Mack is close to Singer in another way. Several months before he announced his Senate candidacy, Mack was the leading sponsor of a bill designed to pressure Argentina to pay Elliott $2 billion that the hedge fund claims it is owed.

The two parties have been in court for almost a decade now regarding defaulted Argentina debt that Elliott bought in the secondary market.

Similar bills have been introduced in two prior Congressional sessions but have never made it out of committee.

It’s highly unusual for legislation to single out a single country and its dispute with private creditors, according to Congressional sources.

Singer declined to comment. Mack could not be reached.
