  Elisa Carrio: ZoomInfo Business People Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Carrio, a 44-year-old mother of four and leader of the opposition group Alternative for a Republic of Equals, has become the symbol of hope for many while interim president, Peronist Eduardo Duhalde, staggers from one crisis to the next, with ministers and central bank presidents falling like flies.
Carrio has made her name in opposition, but her party is young and its policies for solving Argentina's economic problems are unclear.
Carrio supports and speaks out for the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, who have demonstrated in front of the presidential palace for over 20 years demanding justice for their children who disappeared during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.

 Observer | Lilita battles to become saviour of Argentina
Elisa Carrio sits on a sofa, drags wearily on an early-morning cigarette and pronounces that the end is near for the Argentine ruling class whose corruption and incompetence have brought public anger to boiling point.
Carrio says the country needs new elections and new leaders and is heading for a painful but necessary revolt that will force the renewal of all its institutions.
Carrio, with her gruff voice and straight-talking style, has been feisty in opposition, but most analysts believe she lacks stability and clear policies to lead the country.

 Kirk Sherr: "Argentina Presidential Elections and Beyond"
He and Menem are the only two candidates that have not sought to distance themselves from the U.S. His numbers in the polls have continued to rise, and he may be able to slip into the final run-off vote.
Elisa Carrió (46) is running from the left under the banner of the Argentina for a Republic of Equals Party (ARI), and places the end of government corruption as her top priority.
The Radical party, the traditional rival to the Peronist Party, is effectively absent from this election (although Lopez Murphy and Carrio have their origins there), leading to the political domination by the Peronist candidates.

Carrio, leader of the ARI Party and well known as an expert in money-laundering and other illegalities by banks operating in Argentina, warned that, to save the country, more radical measures were needed than had yet been proposed.
Carrio continued: “It is also interesting to read that, earlier, he [LaRouche] analyzed how the international financial system began to collapse, which we're going to see in the world over the coming year.
He warns the governments of all countries, that if they apply the restrictions of the international financial agencies, and fail to resolve the problem of the looting of their banks, there will be a succession of governments, finally resulting in total national disintegration.

 Women's WORLD
As Argentina flounders through its worst economic crisis in history, a no-frills, corruption-busting female politician, Elisa Carrio, has emerged as the best hope for a country tired of being run by a "band of robbers" and desperate for change.
A fervent Catholic, Carrio's nonconformist, honest image has saved her from mobs that have hurled insults and thrown punches at politicians from all parties, accusing them of corruption and mismanagement and demanding they resign when spotted in restaurants, airports or city streets.
Carrio supports and speaks out for the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo [see Asociación Madres de Plaza de Mayo (in Spanish); and Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo (in English)], who have demonstrated in front of the presidential palace for over 20 years demanding justice for their children who disappeared during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.

 Ambito Financiero Quotes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In the session of the House of Deputies where the Emergency Law proposed by the Duhalde government was debated, which occurred between the 5th and 6th of January, the ideas of economic interventionism predominated.
The leader of the ARI blamed national and foreign banks, the Central Bank, the privatized companies and [former Finance Minister Domingo] Cavallo's economic team, for conspiring to carry out the greatest fraud against the State in Argentine history, which culminated in the imposition of the financial "corralito" [deposit freeze].
It is probable that Elisa Carrió, who throughout her parliamentary career has stood out for the defense of democratic values and republican values, has not been well-informed about the person of Lyndon LaRouche or the nature of his ideas.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (WOMENSENEWS)--As Argentina flounders through its worst economic crisis in history, a no-frills, corruption-busting female politician, Elisa Carrio, has emerged as the best hope for a country tired of being run by a "band of robbers" and desperate for change.
Now, as Argentina begs the international financial community for financial rescue, Carrio represents the progressive movement in a country which through Carlos Menem's free market reforms in the 1990s became the world's best example of the hazards of globalization.
Carrio also stands for women's rights in a conservative society dogged by Latin American machismo.

The presidential candidates are for the most part uninspiring, epitomize the status quo and, in Carlos Menem's case, belong behind bars rather than on the presidential ballot.
Two independent candidates, both of whom broke ranks from a Union Civic Radical Party (UCR) that is still tarnished by the abrupt and premature 1989 and 2001 exodus of two of its party leaders (Raul Alfonsin and Fernando de la Rua) from the Casa Rosada, merit attention as well.
One of them, Elisa Carrio, a center-left legislator campaigning under the Republic of Equals banner, plans to purge the Argentine political system of its penchant for corruption.

According to Elisa Carrió, Kirchner would be the "lesser evil".
Carrio's opinion can be understood because there are interests involved: the lady has already formed a front with Kirchner and others to support Ibarra in the City of Buenos Aires.
Ibarra is the evictor of those with no place to live, the adversary of the social gains of the Metrovias (subway) workers and the man who siphons off every day millions of dollars in huge deals through the Puerto Madero Corporation, the Corporation of the South, the AUSA toll highways and the City Bank.

Elisa Carrio, in turn, is the only candidate who offers a center-left program, very European style.
During the nineties, Elisa Carrio denounced a money laundering operation, in which the then-president Carlos Menem was involved, as well as very important international banks and financial institutions.

In late August, a left-wing grouping consisting of Zamora, union leaders led by Víctor de Genaro, and Elisa Carrió—another leading Argentine presidential candidate—began to organize protests calling for the creation of an elected constitutional assembly and a renewal of all electoral posts.
Saá, who is closely followed in polls by anti-corruption muckracker Elisa Carrió, is playing cat and mouse with Menem, threatening to leave the party one day and declaring his determination to win the Peronist primaries the next.

Argentina's Elisa Carrio was particularly adamant about rejecting violence in the aftermath of demonstrations that ended in the tragic death of two young protesters.
It is precisely the sturdiness of the Latin American democratic model that has allowed it to withstand the many odds stacked against it while continuing its struggle for a non-violent resolution of Latin America's pressing problems.

 Encrucijada
Three of these candidates, Kirchner, Menem and Adolfo Rodriguez Sáa came from the highly-divided Peronist Party, a historically dominant party that was seriously damaged by its inability to agree on one candidate to represent them in these presidential elections.
The remaining two candidates, Ricardo López Murphy and Elisa Carrió, who came in third and fourth respectively, were both former members of the Radical Party, the Peronists' traditional historical rival, which has virtually disappeared from the political scene since De la Rúa's demise
The surprisingly strong showing of both of these "alternative" candidates demonstrates a new trend in Argentine politics, shifting away from the classic two party dispute between the Peronists and Radicals that has dominated Argentina's political history throughout most of the Twentieth Century.
