El Financial Times sobre la heredera del trono argento:

Cristina Fernández has devoted so much time to foreign travel during her election campaign that it almost looks as though she is running for a job at the United Nations, not the presidency of Argentina.

The senator, who spent last week courting financiers, business leaders and diplomats on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, is virtually certain to glide to victory on October 28 in a seamless succession to her husband, President Néstor Kirchner.

But in foreign policy at least, she has promised a more open style than her husband and if she wins, as polls predict, she will have several pressing overseas as well as domestic issues on her desk when she takes office on December 10.

She said little new in New York and failed to address key economic concerns such as Argentina's mounting inflation, which private economists estimate to be running at up to double the official estimate of 9.6 per cent, but it was a highprofile public relations blitz. The intent was to show a candidate committed to putting Argentina back on the map six years after its debt default cut it adrift from the international financial community and someone with whom world leaders can do business.
