The growing conflict between Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government and Argentine farmers, who have several days of nationwide protest against medieval taxes on exports of soybeans, meat, corn, wheat and milk, only show one thing: Cristina Fernandez's leadership is in crisis.
This is also reflected in polls, placing Fernandez as one of the most unpopular leaders in Latin American -only 29% of Argentines have a positive view of their President- which explains the Fernandez's interest in advancing legislative elections, because she wants to avoid that her deteriorating public image is more harmful for her party's performance.
This also explain why the Kirchners are promoting a media bill that would weaken Argentine information companies, because like all bad politicians, they want to blame the press for the political and economic debacle her government is suffering.
All this, plus the loss of allies in the provinces, will result in a greater political instability. The end of the Kirchner era is near.
