		Argentina's screaming and pot banging went on, and on, and on.
		Fair enough, but as the elections took on a life of their own, the unions and assemblies began to seem out of step.
		The legitimacy of the elections was thus left dangerously uncontested, and the dream of a new kind of democracy utterly unrepresented.

		hile the economy began to recover in 2003 after the worst socioeconomic crisis in the country’s history and the political situation regained stability under a new president, the Argentine press continued to struggle with significant budgetary difficulties.
		Argentina’s economic collapse not only caused about a dozen media outlets to fold, it has also meant that a society that once prided itself on its consumption of newspapers and magazines was forced to cut back.
		Attacks on journalists covering demonstrations increased in the run-up to Argentina’s presidential elections but dwindled when Peronist candidate Néstor Kirchner was elected president in May after Carlos Menem withdrew from a runoff election.

	Argentina: Elections show the need for a socialist alternative
		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.
		Kirchner supports more state intervention in the economy and a more ‘traditional’ Peronist policy of radical populist nationalism, which is why his support increased during the campaign, he is not a friend of the working class.
		While it is unlikely Zamora would have won the elections, through the election campaign he could have used his influence to mobilise thousands of workers and youth and taken the necessary steps to form the outline of a new mass socialist workers party that could offer an alternative.

	Argentina's Elections
		Many sectors from Argentina's social movements generated this campaign, arguing that the elections were a fraudulent attempt for politicians to regain trust and create an illusion of a nation without social conflict.
		In August Argentina is due to pay $30 billion towards the debt and Lavagna is prepared to pay it by selling out the future of Argentina's poorest sectors, now the majority of its citizens.
		These elections were an attempt by the state to recover lost legitimacy and reflect only a superficial change.

		These were the last elections to be held until 2005, and in part they represented a test for President Kirchner.
		This seems not to have affected his political career, probably because Argentina is a country where crime runs rampant and unchecked, and so such maneuvers are tacitly approved by many.
		In today's Argentina, someone who promises harsher punishment for crime, more power for the police, and less waste of funds, is often heard with more appreciation than one who promises to spend more money on the poor.

	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.
		Unfortunately, the far left, which has played a significant role in the mass protests, failed to present a united front in the elections, with some groups participating and others calling for a boycott.

		Whether or not the IMF finally decides to bail out the country, it most certainly will be the target of growing criticism by politicians from the center to the left, due to the view that its stress on belt-tightening has increased the gap between rich and poor instead of providing jobs for the masses.

		The decision means that Duhalde -- a senior senator from Argentina's populist Peronist party who was appointed by legislators in January as the fifth leader in two weeks -- will give up office in May 2003, seven months before the end of his legal term.
		Since the bankrupt government was forced to default on its national debt and devalue the currency six months ago, Argentina has fallen into a tailspin that has left one out of every two Argentines living in poverty.
		Lacking political and popular support, Duhalde thought it best to try to defuse public tensions by stepping aside and allowing a new leader elected by the people to rule the nation with a stronger mandate, sources close to the government said.

		In an election with a record low turnout, the PAN was unable to break out of its minority status in the legislature, setting the stage for its likely defeat in the 2006 presidential elections.
		Although the PRI is still notorious for its corrupt political image and its capacity for violence, it was able to strengthen its plurality in the Chamber of Deputies.
