BUENOS AIRES - A book launch in Buenos Aires became Argentina’s hot ticket of the week, drawing raucous crowds on Thursday night to hear ex-President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and fanning speculation about her plans to run in national elections later this year.
Fernandez, a firebrand politician who led Argentina between 2007 and 2015, is widely expected to challenge center-right President Mauricio Macri and has been rising in the polls as an economic crisis hammers the government. The question mark over Fernandez’s plans to run have roiled local markets. International investors are wary of the populist ex-president, who during her tenure raised taxes on exports, increased subsidies and brought in currency controls.
In her over 30-minute talk at the International Book Fair in Buenos Aires, she called for a “social contract” to overcome the country’s problems but kept a measured tone and mainly focused on the book, titled “Sincerely”.
