ARGENTINA: Kirchner heads government challenge
Less than a month remains until mid-term congressional elections on
28 June, which are likely to deny President Cristina Fernández of a majority in
one or both houses of congress. As expected, Fernández's husband, predecessor
and main political strategist, Néstor Kirchner, is heading the government's list
of candidates for the lower house in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina's
most important electoral district. At stake is Fernández's political authority,
and Kirchner's future presidential ambitions.
