Talk:Néstor Kirchner/Archive 2

Criticism of his style
various reporters have criticized kirchner not only because of his personalistic approach to politics but also because of his almost constant barrage of criticism against anyone who is not a member or allied of his party.This "clash" oriented approach (with a fair ammount of Maniqueism) is quite criticized by the opposition

A clear example was given when he started making spechees in favour of "his" candidate for the mayor of the city of Buenos Aires by stating that the oponent(Mauricio Macri) would be a step back in the progress of the country and that he would cut the goverment funding to privatized public transport in the city if macri won(Kirchener would cut it because the funding is paid by the national goverment)this was was classified by extorsion by some staunch critics towards the citizenship(http://www.lanacion.com.ar/915238)

This was a series of attacks performed by the president and his ministers(most notably Felisa Micceli, Minister if Economics, who said that macri was responsable for the city´s lack of proper garbage recolection since he,a bussines man turned politician, was in charge of recollecting the garbage in the city while in fact macri´s company lost that contract in 1997)(http://www.lanacion.com.ar/914735)

Another prime example is his continuos attacks to Carlos Menem´s goverment and general policies during the 90´s.Even though he was governor of Santa Cruz during the 90´s and shared electoral ballots with Menem some 7 times during the decade. This has gained him criticism for being unthruthfull and some have even gone as far as to say lair and hipocrit (video of Kircher and Menem during a rally http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ9rCuro3NA in spanish) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Viridio (talk • contribs) 22:24, 7 June 2007‎ (UTC)

Corruption allegations
There habe been wide reports of corruption in Kirchner goverment, however two are worth mentioning (and are the flagships of the opposition)

1)Santa Cruz Funds

Prior to 2001 it was reported (and confirmed by goverment officials) that the province of Santa Cruz (with Kirchner at the helm) had transfered over 650 millon dollars(the amount varies according to source) to a swiss bank to a private account(though to be kirchner´s). When these reports surfaced the goverment acknowledged the money transfer and vowed to bring the funds back, however no proof has been  provided of the return of the money

2)SKANSKA CASE

In May 2007 it was reported, verified and admited(by SKANSKA, a private company) that it paid bribes in order to win the contract to build a gasoduct in northern and center Argentina.So far 3 goverment officials have been fired or resigned and all of SKANSKA senior management as well.In the mix up are one of Kirchner´s right hand men Julio de Vido(minister of public works),de Vido´s wife (auditor of the Nation,who is supposed to control de Vido´s spending, a contorversy in itself) and other less prominent officials. This has casted a shadow on what Kircher himself calls a corruption-free goverment(in contrast with previous goverments) The case was widely covered by argentinian media

Pronunciation
Nestór Carlos Kirchner: [ˈnestoɾ ˈkaɾlos ˈkiɾʃneɾ ˈostoitʃ] Anybody have an idea where this Ostoich comes from? Is it part of his name or is it a joke? 160.83.30.194 (talk) 07:48, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

What is the PJ?
Seems to be a party of some kind, but no explanation given. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.123.98.215 (talk) 12:55, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

Proposed changes and improvements
I've not been an editor on this page in the past, although — given my lengthy experience with bringing political biographies to GA and FA status here at Wikipedia — I agreed to review this article when it was recently nominated at GAN. Unfortunately, problems with the sourcing of various photographs led the nominator to ask that the GAN be failed at that time. However, I also had some further suggestions for improvement that I would like to raise here.

The article doesn't seem to cite many academic sources, such as articles published in peer-reviewed journals or monographs published by academic press, and instead relies largely on online news articles. These are also Reliable Sources, but the academic sources would be better. I can't find any full-length biographies of Kirchner in the English language but perhaps some exist in Spanish, which would be useful for helping to flesh out this article. I have found a few references to Kirchner in Nicholas Kozloff's 2008 book Revolution!: South America and the Rise of the New Left and can incorporate those into the article.

The lede, although well written, could definitely be improved. At points, it includes fairly trivial information, such as the exact dates on which Kirchner was appointed and then ceased to become President, while very important information, such as the fact that he was a Peronist and a member of the Justicialist Party, is absent. This really needs to be dealt with. To sort this issue out, I would advise looking closely at GA-rated biographies of other Latin American political leaders, such as Evo Morales and Fidel Castro, to see how their lede sections are structured. This is an issue where I am more than happy to help draft some revisions. Midnightblueowl (talk) 16:05, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
