The Governor of Entre R�os, JorgeBusti, who started the conflict between Argentina and Uruguay in connection with the pulp and paper mills on the east side of R�o Uruguay, is a close ally of President Kirchner and his wife, Senator Cristina.
Busti, born in Concordia, Entre R�os, was elected to the first of his three governorship mandates back in 1987, when he was just 39 years old.
Busti studied law in C�rdoba where he developed links with the �Fuerzas Armadas Peronistas� and was close to a Marxist-Leninist guerrilla unit.
Busti said he had the commitment of the federal government to begin a demand against Uruguay before The Hague International Court for violation of the statute of the shared Uruguay river.
However Mr Busti also requested the people of Entre Ríos "to think that once the demand has been presented, these international organizations never function under pressure, so this means we will have to find other ways of expressing ourselves".
Mr Busti´s announcement also seemed to brush aside remarks earlier in the week when the governor said he was prepared to resign as governor if President Kirchner asked him to move aside.
