ARGENTINA: Is Cristina's New Target Her Own VP Julio Cobos?

MERCOPRESS/
Vice President Julio Cobos was elected on a ticket with President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner but since 2008 has followed his own path to a point where Cristina cancelled a trip to China rather than leave him in charge.  “I can’t travel overseas when I have someone in my post who I can’t trust”, said Kirchner.
Now, is she angling to fire Cobos after successfully disposing of Central Bank chief Martin Redrado?

ARGENTINA: Embattled Central Banker Redrado Resigns.

BLOOMBERG/

Central Bank chief Martin Perez Redrado has resigned, saying "I feel that my term at the head of the Central Bank has concluded and I have decided definitively to leave the office of president of the Central Bank, satisfied with the duties I have performed." After a drawn-out clash with President Cristina Kirchner over the appropriation of $6.5 billion in bank funds, Redrado decided to resign while the congress was still deliberating his dismissal.

Officials shrugged off his announcement, insisting that a sacked employee has no post from which to resign. "For us, there is no resignation."
