CFK maintains mystery over reelection plans

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner raised doubts about her presidential reelection hopes during the inauguration speech of this year's ordinary congressional sessions, asking: “Did anybody hear me saying that I would seek reelection?”

The Head of State also downplayed the idea of proposing a constitutional reform to "perpetuate herself in power" as Kirchnerite lawmaker Diana Conti had suggested yesterday.

“If I can’t get the opposition to pass the budget draft bill, how would I convince them to let me reform the Constitution?”
