Election History
Kirchner was an extremely popular candidate during the presidential elections. She beat out 13 opponents, and won the election with 45.29% of the vote. She beat the next closest candidate, Elisa Carrio by a 22% margin, which was the largest in recent Argentinian history.Clarin.com: Cristina Kirchner conserva casi 22 puntos de diferencia sobre Carrio (October 29, 2007)Political Criticism
Despite the popularity which won her the presidency, Kirchner has been criticized for many of her domestic management. Since she took office, Argentina has seen energy shortages, rising crime rates, and increases in taxes that target farmers. 100 days into her presidency, farmers went on a strike which lasted almost a month, until a truce was called on March 31, 2008 under the condition of negotiations.-
