Néstor Kirchner

Kirchner was the son of immigrants -his father was a swiss postal worker and his mother a Chilean Corats daughter. Néstor Kirchner stood out in politics and became a governor of his native province (1991-2003), founding the FTV (Frente para la Victoria, roots political party Peronist), and 54th president of Argentina between May 25, 2003 and December 10, 2007. On May 4, 2010 he was elected General Secretary of the Unasur and presided at the Justicialista Party. During his government, the most important transformations of last 60 years in economics, education, health, social services, justice, standing out his politics on recognition of original cultures and peoples (natives). His efforts--continued by his wife Cristina Fernández from 2007--remained focused on the recovery of the economic, financial and monetary autarchy -at national and international level-, the judgment to the genocidal military men of the dictatorship (1976-1983), the reaffirmation of civil freedom, the autonomy and independence of 3 powers of the State and the promotion of freedom of the press. As a young man, Kirchner worked as an extra in an emblematic Argentine movie, "The Rebellious Patagonia" (La Patagonia rebelde); an indicative title for a personal and political trajectory, sealed by the defense of the rights of man, the recovery of dignity and the love of his country.
