Dear John,
It has taken some time to send you my promised request for information, but I’m now fulfilling my commitment.
I’m an Argentinian independent journalist. Usually, I write on international Politics, and in this job I regularly check your site. In recent times, however, I note the absence of references to the enormous political engagement of Shell in the new Argentinian government.

Since Mauricio Macri ascended to Argentina’s Presidency last 10th December, Shell has a major influence on the energy policy of his government. Mr. José Luis Aranguren, until last July CEO of Shell Argentina, is the actual Energy Minister. He is said to have direct access to Queen Maxima, and he was during the last twelve years a strong opponent of the Kirchner-governments.
During Macri’s electoral campaign Aranguren stated that self-sufficiency isn’t a goal of his energy policy.
In turn, President Macri has a close relationship with the Dutch royals whom he meets usually by the end of each year at a country club in Villa la Angostura, in Patagonia. This has become public this new year because Macri was there and the Dutch royals did not come.
Argentina has the world’s second largest shale-oil reserves, which are partially exploited via a YPF-Chevron joint-venture.
As oil and gas prices go down, and the exploitation of non-conventional deposits becomes very expensive, local observers fear that the political influence of Shell can lead to a stoppage of shale-gas exploitation, and to the closing of fields.
Consequently, I am seeking information from knowledgeable visitors to your website on the question on Shell’s political interests regarding Argentinian oil and gas production. My email address is provided below so anyone with comment or information can contact me direct.
Dear John, I thank you very much, if you can publish this request. We keep in contact.
Best regards
Eduardo

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
