Cristina compares bullet train to Puerto Madero

Cristina de Kirchner

Argentine president Cristina de Kirchner made such comparison on Friday, when defending high-speed bullet train between Buenos Aires city and Mar del Plata.

"The neighbourhood of Puerto Madero is nowadays a marvellous work which has positioned Buenos Aires pretty well," she said when reading notes of the 90's in which it was stated that Puerto Madero project was "excessive."

The state chief added: "Fortunately, there are some businessmen who can look beyond their noses."
