Presidents of Argentina. 55th President of Argentina - Christina Fernandez de Kirchner

What is known about Argentina? Firstly, it is the birthplace of a passionate and exciting tango. Secondly, it serves juicy steak and a tea drink mat. Third, the architecture of colonial times and the legend of modern football - Diego Maradona - are not inferior in popularity. And, finally, the fact that in 2007 the first lady of the country - Christina Fernandez de Kirchner - took the presidency.

This happens very rarely. For example, it could happen in America (it's about Hillary Clinton), but alas ... But in a country where the sun hides, this was observed twice.

Would the world be more humane and non-conflicting if only women were at the head of the state? How much do citizens feel about the difference in the methods of governing a country where the first president is a man and then a woman? Find answers to these questions better in Argentina.

A little bit about the formation of power

After the country gained independence in 1816, it did not have its own government. First, it was called the United Provinces of La Plata, and then the South American OP.

The first president, due to Argentina's non-viability after the war with Brazil, soon after he took office, resigned, while Alejandro Lopez temporarily replaced him and completely dissolved the government. After that, the country forgot about the existence of the central government for a whole 27 years, and the state became a confederation.

There was a post of the governor, which was similar to the presidential one. During this period, Juan de Rosas was at the head of the country, who, after a long reign, was overthrown by Justo Urquesa (commander-in-chief). From that moment the transition to another form of management began.

The most memorable presidents of Argentina

The right to nominate a candidate for the post of head of state for a second term was abolished in 1957. An amendment to the resolution appeared in the Constitution only in 1994. This was used by Carlos Saul Menem.

He was a member of the hustisialistic party, whose policy was based on preserving state and economic independence, and creating a just society.

For the first time he ran for the presidency of Argentina in 1989, the second term was appointed in 1995, immediately after the amendment to the Constitution of the state.

In 2001, after the wedding with Cecilia Bolocco, Carlos Menema was arrested on suspicion of arms trade.

Another member of the histicisialist party was Adolfo Rodriguez Saa.

Street and natural unrest, as well as accusations of citizens that only politicians are to blame for the country's crisis, forced him to resign. Adolfo ran for the presidency of Argentina on December 23, and left the post exactly one week later on December 31, 2001.

But the record for the shortest term of office for the head of state belongs to Ramon Puerte. It took him only 2 days to realize that for health reasons he could not be president.

The new mistress of the Rose House

One hot summer evening, with a cup of coffee, the incumbent President Nestor Carlos Kirchner Ostoich was thinking about the future of his country. He pondered for a long time about who would be able to hand over the reins of government, and came to the same conclusion: only to those in whom he is sure and to whom he believes unlimitedly. And he trusted only his wife ...

The elections were beautiful. Two Argentine women ran for the presidency of Argentina: Christina Fernandez and Elisa Carrio. The people were so interested in these beauties that no one was up to the other 12 candidates.

On October 29, news broke out in Argentina: there will be no second round of elections, as the first lady of the country won more than 40% of the vote and automatically became president. Thus, in the Pink House appeared the second-ever mistress.

Operation "Successor"

For a week Christina Fernandez de Kirchner celebrated the victory, and even her main rival Alice Carrio sent her a congratulatory letter. What she was motivated with is not known, the main thing is that everything went without a scandal, and the government was not accused of falsification.

She never hid her political ambitions. Even when her husband took over as president, Cristina Fernandez always said "we" when talking about initiatives related to politics.

Many people know about her temperament not by hearsay. Being a good speaker, she was sometimes forgotten and often called media representatives "stupid", and sometimes "donkeys."

When Christine took over the presidency, everyone knew that the situation in the country would not change, because the "domineering couple" would stick to one political game.

She will rule better than her husband

Spouse Cristina Fernandez during his reign won the confidence of the population. When he took up his duties, the country was in a period of crisis, and Nestor had to do a great job to raise the economy by 50% and almost halve the unemployment rate.

The rod and ribbon with flowers of the national flag Cristina received from Nestor. Hundreds of guests from different parts of the world came to Argentina to see how the husband gives the wife the reins of government. Having taken the oath, she promised the people that she would continue Nestor's policy. Such a statement did not surprise anyone, everyone knew that during his reign, she was always his main adviser.

With her job as president, Fernandez confirmed her earlier words that her wife would be better than him. Cristina was able to persuade to return to their workplaces many useful employees, who at one time were disappointed with Nestor's policy, besides, she quickly established relations with foreign investors and heads of neighboring countries.

Politics and Beauty

Only the lazy did not compare her with Evita Peron (the first woman president in Argentina and in the world). "Well-wishers" said that Christina is losing to her not only in external beauty, but also in relation to citizens, they say, she has only rags and benefits from the status of the president in her mind.

Each business trip of Cristina Fernandez was divided into 2 parts: solving political issues and shopping. And, looking at her, it's easy to make a conclusion: she is a socialist and an unbridled fashionista. Knowingly in one of the interviews, Fernandez confessed that she will never forget to do makeup even if a bombing begins!
