	Eduardo Duhalde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eduardo Alberto Duhalde Maldonado (born October 5, 1941) is a former president of Argentina.

	CNN.com - Argentine Congress picks latest president - January 2, 2002
		Duhalde, 60, is to complete the remaining term of Fernando De la Rua, who resigned in the middle of his four-year term on December 20 amid deadly protests spawned by devastating economic conditions.
		Eduardo Duhalde was voted in by Argentina's Congress, making him the country's fifth president in two weeks.
		Duhalde takes the reins of a country reeling from an economic recession entering its fourth year that has sent unemployment close to 20 percent, swelled the ranks of the poor to 15 million people and put the country on the brink of defaulting on its $132 billion debt.

	Néstor Kirchner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The elections of 24 October 1999 were a major upset for the PJ; Duhalde was beaten by Fernando de la Rúa, the Alianza (opposition coalition) candidate, and the party lost its majority in Congress.
		A series of interim presidents and renewed demonstrations ended with the appointment of Duhalde as interim president in January 2002, to serve until new presidential elections in 2003.
		Duhalde abolished the fixed exchange rate regime that had been in place since 1991, and the Argentine peso quickly devalued by more than two thirds of its value, decimating middle-class savings and sinking the heavily import-dependent Argentine economy even deeper.

		Duhalde's remarks come after IMF Managing Director Horst Koehler criticized developed countries at a poverty eradication conference for using trade subsidies to protect their own industries at the expense of developing countries.
		Duhalde, who Congress named president on January 2, commented that previous administrations have gone before the IMF with "programs that failed and promises that were not kept".

		Duhalde and his administration are presently sandwiched between the demands of the mass movement and those of the IMF and U.S. imperialism.
		Duhalde has wooed the IMF and U.S. Treasury secretary Paul O'Neill by allowing the peso to float freely against the dollar and by winning passage of a 2002 budget that calls for another 14 percent cut in government spending.
		The difference between Duhalde and the IMF is that Duhalde understands that he must concede something--however phony and fleeting--to the popular rebellion in order to avoid a full-blown revolution down the line.

		Duhalde refused to meet with a delegation of Spanish bankers and declared he would "not cede" to the pressure, and repeated his condemnation of his predecessors economic program, which was backed by the imperialist-run International Monetary Fund.
