Your marriage is also compared to the political partnership of Bill and Hillary Clinton. I don't call it a partnership; it's still a marriage, and no two marriages are alike. But when my husband and I used to have offices next to each other in the Santa Cruz state legislature, we would consult each other not as spouses but as people we considered to have the clearest opinions on politics. We have the utmost respect for each other in that sense. And we have our differences - I think he spoils our 17-year-old daughter Florencia...
Should we expect any change from your husband's administration, or do you plan to continue his course? Under him Argentina has had unheard-of macroeconomic achievements - not only growth but a historic restructuring of Argentina's foreign debt, especially with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), in order to sustain that growth. So I'd say we've already experienced a huge change under President Kirchner. Now we can build on it with things like improved education and a system of national public health...
...often speak of "social and inclusive capitalism." Is your brand of leftist Peronism [the powerful populist party founded in the 1940s by Eva Peron's President husband, Juan Peron] more economically pragmatic? We're not averse to capitalism. But if they used to say, "Workers of the world unite!" then we also say today, "Capitalists of the world, assume your social responsibility...
...made your political reputation as an anti-corruption crusader. The last year of your husband's administration has included some high-profile financial scandals. Given that corruption is still Latin America's No. 1 plague, will you make it a priority in your own government? Yes, and the key is building an absolutely independent and professional judiciary. No government can guarantee the absence of corruption any more than you can guarantee that a shirt will never need washing. But you do need to assert an attitude that includes either removing these people or putting them in front of the judiciary...
...your husband have also been aggressive about prosecuting human rights cases from Argentina's "dirty war" and the bloody 1976-83 military dictatorship that killed or "disappeared" up to 30,000 people - including friends from your own Peronist party. And in fact, one of those who recently testified, Jorge Julio Lopez, has gone missing himself. How do you plan to help Argentina battle that legacy? By focusing on three main values: truth, memory and justice. Some Argentines believe today that combating human rights abuses is a thing of the past or just a thing that only leftists and progressives worry...
