| 28/04/2003, The first round of Presidential elections in Argentina have left former
Peronist President Carlos Menem in a run off with the government backed
Néstor Kirchner, also a Peronist standing for the Unión de Centro
Democrático. These elections have revealed a massive political
fragmentation amongst all of the parties. As the Spanish daily El País
commented the elections have shown: "…an historic political
fragmentation" (24 April 2003). There were three Peronists candidates,
three former members of Unión Cívica Radical, four candidates from the
socialist left and three supporters of the military, retired generals.

| 14/01/2002, "With five Presidents in less than two weeks, Argentina faces the
deepest crisis in its history. The cancellation of elections convened

CWI statement |
| 07/07/2001, Argentina’s financial crisis is threatening an economic meltdown which
could also sink the economies of South and Central America and have a
catastrophic impact on the world economy. US imperialism and Argentina’s
rulers are attempting to make the working class pay for this crisis. But
these attacks have unleashed a massive movement of strikes and
demonstrations including seven general strikes in the last 18 months.
