Spain pledged to wage diplomatic and industrial war on Argentina after the country's populist president, Cristina Fernández, announced plans to nationalise the Spanish-owned part of oil company YPF.
Brufau was furious that Argentine officials had thrown Spanish executives out of the YPF headquarters in Buenos Aires. He pledged a legal battle at the United Nations and the World Bank against Fernández, accusing her of being "an expert manipulator". "She carried out an illegal act and made unlawful allegations which followed a campaign aimed at knocking down the price of YPF shares and allowing expropriation at a bargain price," he said.
Hi. I know that this is a terrible thing to happen and it probably couldn't have come at a worse time, but I hope it allows the people concerned to have some idea of how awful it is to be sh*t upon from a great height, and not be able to do anything about it.
"They are furious that Spanish executives had been thrown out of their headquarters in Buenos Aires", ......How does he think the Priors felt when they were thrown out of their house ????
