'We are trying to keep the wild sea from damaging this ship,' CFK

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner said that “we will keep on working so that the wild sea doesn’t damage this ship,” a metaphor explaining the effort Argentina is doing to avoid a downfall as a result of the international financial crisis. She added that “we intend to reach the goal of replacing the Universal Child Allowance with jobs.”

Fernández de Kirchner addressed supporters while inaugurating the Book and Language Museum within the National Library.

She fondly recalled her late husband, former President Néstor Kirchner, and said “he lives everywhere. His healthy stubbornness was rooted in his convictions.”
