	Polity IV Country Report 2003: Argentina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		However, the crisis and political instability was handled through constitutional due process and finally resulted in the election of a new president by a special joint session of congress and provincial governors (the second such election in an eight-day period).
		In June 2003, at the urging of President Nestor Kirchner, who had been declared president after Carlos Menem withdrew from runoff elections scheduled for May 2003, the impeachment commission of the Chamber of Deputies began proceedings against Julio Nazareno, President of the Supreme Court, and his eight colleagues, charging them inter alia with corruption.
		Staggered legislative elections in 2003 (held between May and November) gave the President's Justicialist Party (PJ) a working majority in the Chamber of Deputies (130 of 257) and maintained its majority in the Senate (41 of 72).

	Lessons of the Argentine elections - The conclusions and the tasks that lie ahead
		Marxists are in favour of taking part in elections as a way of reaching the maximum amount of people, who would otherwise only be exposed (during public meetings, in the mass media, in electoral propaganda, etc) to the ideology, the ideas, the programmes, the lies, the ploys and the demagogy of the pro-capitalist parties.
		The general elections of October 2001 saw the "protest" vote at a record high of no less than 47.4%, which, together with the marked increase in support for the left parties in many areas, was an early signal of the revolutionary uprising that broke out in December 2001, only two months later.
		Even when Duhalde announced the presidential elections last July, in the wake of the events at Avellaneda, it was already clear that a temporary retreat in the movement had started.

		The elections filled 24 of 72 Senate seats and 127 of the 256 House seats, a midterm ballot widely seen as a referendum on Kirchner's two years in power.

	Argentina Struggles to Meet Debt-Relief Terms - Global Policy Forum - Social and Economic Policy
		Less than a month after Argentina won some relief from the International Monetary Fund on repayment of nearly $7 billion in debt, doubts are intensifying over how the country, stuck in a five-year economic slump, will be able to satisfy even the modest conditions imposed by the fund for that reprieve.
		Major elements of the interim agreement, announced Jan. 17, must be ratified by the Argentine Congress by the end of March.
		Government officials say the monetary fund, in contrast, has been calling for rate increases of up to 50 percent, echoing the position of utility companies, which passed to foreign ownership after they were privatized in the 1990's.

	Argentina after the elections
		After getting the most votes in the first round of the election, but not enough to win outright, former Argentine President Carlos Menem pulled out of the second round rather than face defeat at the hands of Néstor Kirchner.
		The elections were the first since December 2001, when a mass uprising forced the resignation of former Argentine President Fernando de la Rúa and three other interim presidents in the following days.
		In the last weeks before the vote, a judge okayed a police raid on the Brukman textile factory, one of 100 plants across the country occupied and run by workers after employers shut them down amid the economic collapse.

	How Menem came out on top
		IN AN election marked by a lackluster campaign and low voter turnout, former Argentine President Carlos Menem won the first round of a special presidential vote.
		The election was called by President Eduardo Duhalde, another Peronist, who became the fifth president in two weeks following the Argentinazo, the mass uprising of December 2001.
		This was an appeal to the most reactionary elements in Argentine society--including its former military dictators, who ran the country from 1976 to 1983.
