ARGENTINA: Peronism refounded
Early this month, former opposition presidential candidate and dissident
Peronist Roberto Lavagna announced his decision to join forces with ex president
Néstor Kirchner to reorganise the ruling Partido Justicialista (PJ). While the

re-fortification of the ruling party - as well as boosting Kirchner's chances of
winning the PJ leadership elections in March.
