The Pink Tide:Argentina Elects First Lady

Post by jimboloco » October 30th, 2007, 12:53 pm

The Pink Tide: In Defiance of IMF, Argentina Elects First Lady Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner to Become Argentina's First Elected Female President
listen/watch or read the transcript
http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl? ... 30/1341208
she is also a doctor/epidemiologist?
evidently argentina has a one 4-year term limit
then a new prez has to step in
but the former prez can run again the next time
so mr and mrs k may be trading places every 4 years.

interesting
they "define" how it happenned
defaulting on the IMF loans to rebuild the economy with some moneys for investment.
I'd like to default on my loans, for sure.

dynasty alert. isn't this just a ploy to evade term limits. Eva Peron, er, Kirchner, Eva Kirchner gets in after hubby to contrinue the legacy. Like Clintons. Lets see Laura Bush runs for president of the American Republic. Hah!
