Early life
Cristina Elisabet Fernández was born in La Plata, province of Buenos Aires, daughter of Eduardo Fernández (of Spanish heritage) and Ofelia Esther Wilhelm (of German heritage). La Plata is the capital city of the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, as well as of the partido of La Plata. Buenos Aires Province (ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes Spanish: Provincia de Buenos Aires is the most populated province of Argentina.

Political career
Kirchner started her political career in the Peronist Youth movement of the Justicialist Party in the 1970s. The Justicialist Party ( Spanish: Partido Justicialista, PJ) is a Peronist political party in Argentina, and the largest component During the period of authoritarian rule in the country she and Néstor dropped out of politics and practised law in Río Gallegos. The National Reorganization Process (in Spanish, Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, often simply El Proceso) was the name used by its leaders Río Gallegos is the capital of the Patagonic province of Santa Cruz, Argentina. She picked up politics again in the late 1980s, and was elected to the Santa Cruz provincial legislature in 1989, a position to which she was re-elected in 1993. Santa Cruz is a province of Argentina, located in the southern part of the country in Patagonia.
In 1995 she was elected to represent Santa Cruz in the Senate, and in 1997 in the Chamber of Deputies. The Argentine Senate is the upper house of parliament in Argentina. The Chamber of Deputies is the lower house of the National Congress, Argentina 's parliament In 2001 she won again a seat in the Senate.
Kirchner provided the main backbone to her husband's successful campaign for the presidency in 2003, against two other Justicialist candidates and several other competitors. In the April 27, 2003 presidential election first round, former president Carlos Saúl Menem won the greatest number of votes (25%), but failed to get the votes necessary to win an overall majority. Events 1124 - David I becomes King of Scotland. 1296 - Battle of Dunbar: The Scots are defeated Year 2003 ( MMIII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. Argentina held presidential and parliamentary elections on Sunday April 27, 2003. Carlos Saúl Menem Akil (born July 2, 1930) was President of Argentina from July 8, 1989 to December 10, 1999 A second-round run-off vote between Menem and second-place finisher Néstor Kirchner was scheduled for May 18. Néstor Carlos Kirchner Ostoić (born February 25, 1950) was the President of Argentina from May 25, 2003 until December Events 1152 - Henry II of England marries Eleanor of Aquitaine. Feeling certain that he was about to face a resounding electoral defeat, Menem decided to withdraw his candidacy, thus automatically making Kirchner the new president, with 21. 97% of the votes (the lowest number in the history of the country). [7]
During her husband's term, Cristina Kirchner became an itinerant ambassador for his government. Her highly combative speech style polarized Argentine politics, recalling the style of Eva Perón. María Eva Duarte de Perón' ( May 7 1919 &ndash July 26 1952) was the second wife of President Juan Domingo Perón Although she repeatedly rejected the comparison later, Cristina once said in an interview that she identified herself "with the Evita of the hair in a bun and the clenched fist before a microphone" (the typical image of Eva Perón during public speeches) more than with the "miraculous Eva" of her mother's time, who had come "to bring work and the right to vote for women". [8][9][10]
She was the main candidate for Senator of the Front for Victory faction of her party in the province of Buenos Aires, for the October 2005 elections, in a heated campaign directed mainly against Hilda González de Duhalde, the wife of former interim president Eduardo Duhalde. Argentina held national parliamentary elections on Sunday 23 October, 2005. Hilda Beatriz 'Chiche' González de Duhalde (b 14 October 1946) is a politician in Argentina. Eduardo Alberto Duhalde (born 5 October 1941 is a former president of Argentina. Kirchner won the elections by a 25% margin over González.
Election to Presidency of Argentina
With Kirchner leading all the pre-election polls by a wide margin, her challengers were trying to force her into a run-off. She needed either more than 45% of the vote, or 40% of the vote and a lead of more than 10% over her nearest rival, to win outright. The legality of her presidential bid funding was later disputed when U. S federal prosecutors alleged that the government of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez secretly tried to funnel nearly $1 million in cash to her campaign,[11] while these allegations were vehemently denied by both the Argentinian and Venezuelan governments. Hugo Rafael Chávez Frías (ˈuɰo rafaˈel ˈtʃaβ̞es ˈfɾias (born July 28 1954 is the current President of Venezuela. [12]
Kirchner finally won the election in the first round with 45. 29% of the vote, followed by 22% for Elisa Carrió (candidate for the Civic Coalition) and 16% for former Economy Minister Roberto Lavagna. Elisa María Avelina Carrió (born 1956 is an Argentine politician founder of the party initially known as Alternative for a Republic of Equals ( Alternativa para una República The Civic Coalition (in Spanish Coalición Cívica) is a political Coalition in Argentina. Roberto Lavagna ( Buenos Aires, 24 March 1942) is an Argentine economist and politician and was the former Minister of Economy and Production Eleven others split the remaining 15%. [13] Fernández was popular among the suburban working class and the rural poor, while Carrió received more support from the urban middle class. [14] Of note, Fernández lost the election in the three largest cities (Buenos Aires, Córdoba and Rosario), although she won in most other places elsewhere, including the large provincial capitals such as Mendoza and Tucumán. Buenos Aires is the Capital and largest city of Argentina. It is geographically located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern Córdoba, abbreviated as CBA, is a city located near the geographical center of Argentina, in the foothills of the Sierras Chicas mountains on the San Miguel de Tucumán (usually referred to as simply Tucumán) is the largest City in northern Argentina, with a population of 525853 per the. [15]
The president elect began a four-year term on December 10, 2007, facing challenges including inflation, union demands for higher salaries, private investment in key areas, lack of institutional credibility (exemplified by the controversy surrounding the national statistics bureau, INDEC), utility companies demanding authorization to raise their fees, low availability of cheap credit to the private sector, and the upcoming negotiation of the defaulted foreign debt with the Paris Club.

Presidency
During the first days of her presidency, Argentina's relations with the United States deteriorated as a result of allegations made by a United States assistant attorney of illegal campaign contributions, case known as the maletinazo (suitcase scandal). The maletinazo, or "suitcase scandal" was a 2007 scandal involving Venezuela and Argentina, souring friendship between the countries According to these allegations, agents tried to pressure a Venezuelan-American citizen (Guido Alejandro Antonini Wilson) to lie about the origin of $790,550 in cash found in his suitcase on August 4, 2007 at a Buenos Aires airport. U. S. prosecutors said the money was sent to help Fernández's presidential campaign.
Fernández de Kirchner and Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, called the allegations "a trashing operation" and part of a conspiracy orchestrated by the United States to divide Latin American nations. On December 19, 2007 she restricted the U. S. ambassador's activities and limited his meetings to Foreign Ministry officials; a treatment reserved for hostile countries, in the opinion of a former U. S. Assistant Secretary of State. [21] [22] [23] However, on January 31, during a special meeting with the Argentine President, the United States ambassador in Argentina, Earl Anthony Wayne, clarified that the allegations "were never made by the United States government", and the dispute cooled down. [24]
Elisa Carrió and María Estenssoro, both high ranking members of the main opposition parties, have claimed that the Argentine government's response to the allegations and its criticism of the US are a "smokescreen" and described US involvement in the affair as merely symptomatic, alleging that corruption in the Argentinean and Venezuelan governments are the root cause of the scandal. Elisa María Avelina Carrió (born 1956 is an Argentine politician founder of the party initially known as Alternative for a Republic of Equals ( Alternativa para una República [25]
In March 2008, Fernández de Kirchner's government introduced a new sliding-scale taxation system for agricultural exports, effectively raising levies on soybean exports to 44 percent from 35 percent at the time of the announcement. [26]. It should be noted that taxing agricultural exports for any more than 30% is unconstitutional. This led to a nationwide lockout by farming associations, starting on March 12, with the aim of forcing the government to back down on the new taxation scheme. The lock-out by the agricultural sector in Argentina in 2008 was a conflict with the Government of Argentina which started in March 2008 then extending into a prolonged period Events 538 - Witiges, king of the Ostrogoths ends his siege of Rome and retreats to Ravenna, leaving As a result, on March 25 thousands of demonstrators banging pots massed around the obelisk in the capital and in front of the presidential palace. Events 1199 - Richard I is wounded by a crossbow bolt while fighting France which leads to his death on April 6. Protests extended across the country. In Buenos Aires, hours after Fernández attacked farmers for their two-week strike and "abundant" profits, there were violent incidents between government supporters and protesters, and the police was accused of wilfully turning a blind eye. [27] The media was harshly critical of Luis D'Elia, a former government official who took part in the incidents, with some media sources and members of the opposition (notably Elisa Carrió), claiming that he and his followers had violently suppressed the protest pursuant to the government's orders. Elisa María Avelina Carrió (born 1956 is an Argentine politician founder of the party initially known as Alternative for a Republic of Equals ( Alternativa para una República [28] [29][30]
On April 1 the government organised a rally during which thousands of pro-government protesters marched through downtown Buenos Aires in support of the Argentine leadership. Buenos Aires is the Capital and largest city of Argentina. It is geographically located on the southern shore of the Río de la Plata, on the southeastern Fernández recently called on farmers to act "as part of a country, not as owners of a country". [31]
A poll-result published in the Spanish newspaper El Pais (Spain's most widely-circulated daily newspaper) revealed that, following the protests, Fernández's approval rating had "plummeted" from 57. 8% at the start of her administration [32] to an unprecedented 23%. [33] .
A recent poll of Management & Fit, confirms the growing unpopularity of the Fernández administration. This poll was taken between April 27 and April 30, and shows Fernández approval rating at 23. 6%, and her disapproval rating at 61. 8%, thus becomes the agent with the worst approval index of popular history, and sounding rumors about a possible appeal to a recall referendum on his mandate. [34]
Fernandez's inflexible handling of the protests and reluctance to review the policies that sparked the protest have reinforced the ongoing suspicion that it is her husband, predecessor in office and current leader of the Justicialist Party, Nestor Kirchner, who pulls the strings behind her administration. The Justicialist Party ( Spanish: Partido Justicialista, PJ) is a Peronist political party in Argentina, and the largest component Néstor Carlos Kirchner Ostoić (born February 25, 1950) was the President of Argentina from May 25, 2003 until December The British weekly The Economist has described this situation as Mrs Fernandez "paying the price for her husbands pig headedness". The Economist is an English-language weekly news and International affairs publication owned by The Economist Newspaper Ltd and edited in London [35]
Relationship with the media
In April 2008 Fernández received a stern public rebuke from ADEPA (the Argentine Journalists Association) for having publicly accused the popular cartoonist Hermenegildo Sábat of behaving like a "quasi mafioso". [36] In addition, a government proposal to create a watchdog to monitor racism and discrimination was received with suspicion by ADEPA, who called it a "covert attempt to control the media". [37] In 2006, Nestor Kirchner, Fernández's husband and predecessor in office, received a similar rebuke for publicly and falsely denouncing that Joaquín Morales Solá, a journalist critical of the government, had produced an inflammatory text published in 1978. Joaquín Morales Solá (born 1950 in Tucumán) is an Argentine political journalist [38]
