The ruling party's electoral defeat in legislative elections in Argentina is clearly a rejection of all the policy of Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, whose left-wing populist regime has led the country to an economic slowdown in the midst of a serious health crisis by progress of the flu AHN1, so it expects a difficult second period of her government. The government was defeated in six of the seven major districts Argentines which gathered 75 percent of the national electorate. This indicates that the second part of the Kirchner government regime will be marked by a strong opposition and a weak executive power with difficult to continue the plans of  The Executive, so will therefore be obliged to negotiate with opposition forces.
The plebiscite showed a rejection of the Kirchner's alliance with Hugo Chavez, Evo Morales and Cuba in addition to their continuous journey rather than oversee the nation's problems. Argentina is the South American country with most of the swine flu patients and fatalities, which accuses the government of a bad health planning policy with over 100 thousand infected and 55 dead.
It could also be marking the end of "Peronism” in Argentine politics, a country where the women leadership is a legend since Eva Peron, but in reality only served to increase this myth among Argentines for a party of “social justice" but already in the nineties with the president Carlos Menem entered a phase of the debacle by attempts to stay in the power, so this party has suffered weakening because the absence of signs of renewal.
So Cristina Fernandez is paying the consequences of authoritarianism influenced by her husband, Néstor Kirchner, former Argentine president, who would be the power behind the throne in a kind of dynasty, which not allowed the real president to listen to criticism of their wrong actions and intrusions in the politics of other countries rather than their own.
