Kirchner Admits Defeat in Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires - The president of the Justicialista Party, Nestor Kirchner, on Monday
recognized his defeat in the partial legislative
elections, and called to increase governability as a
clear alternative during the 2011 presidential
elections.
In Buenos Aires, the recently created conservative
alliance Union-PRO, headed by millionaire tycoon
Francisco de Narvaez, obtained 34.6 percent of votes
against the 32.1 percent by the Justicialista Front
for Victory (FJPV) led by Kirchner, after 96.6
percent of votes had been counted.
In this territory, the most important nationwide for
the number of voters, 35 legislative seats were
disputed.
Kirchner today called upon his followers to stand by
the government to keep building an inclusive
productive model, and consolidate changes.
"We have lost by a narrow margin, have fought with
dignity, have won in many provinces, and are on the
way to retake the initiative and strengthen
governability," the former president of the country
reiterated. |
