ARGENTINA: Fernández tunes up for her swan song
On 1 March President Cristina Fernández will give her last state-of-the-nation address to the Argentine congress. It is expected to be a longer speech than in previous years as she reflects not only on her own record in office, but also that of her late husband, Néstor Kirchner (2003-2007), for the term prior to hers. But with just months remaining in power, her recent pronouncements on the massive 18 February (‘18F’) march to commemorate the death of the federal prosecutor, Alberto Nisman, show the President, and her government, still relish confrontation.
