Fernandez de Kirchner refused to press for a constitutional amendment to permit his re-election

BUENOS AIRES, Mar. 1, Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, has denied Tuesday that he is pushing a constitutional reform to be eligible for re-election in 2015, in an appearance before the deputies that did not make clear whether run for the elections this year for a second consecutive term.

Fernández de Kirchner on Tuesday offered his last message to the Legislative Assembly that began with the plenary sessions for the period 2011. In his speech has been emphatic in ensuring that it will not be "sitting forever" in its rightful seat in Parliament, rejected versions of his alleged intention to seek reelection indefinitely.

"If I could not make me pass the budget, can anyone explain how I'm going to make a constitutional amendment?" He asserted the president, referring to the problems he has had to carry out some policies. "Who do you think of the constitutional reform?" He insisted. However, it has not made clear whether accede to the requests of most members of the ruling Peronist Party who want to be a candidate again this year to continue the "Kirchner" that her late husband Nestor began in 2003.

"Has anyone heard that I'll re-election in 2011? Rollers do not," he said, before an audience that eventually interrupted to applaud or cry, depending on the side. "Do not waste this opportunity. We know the way. In the upcoming election, citizens will decide who is the person that attitudes have to go on building a different country.

Let the people decide," he stated. For Fernandez de Kirchner these have moved strongly in the last hours by local and international media are part of a "smear campaign and distracting" to distract from the "real discussion should be: the missing solve problems." The controversy erupted on Monday when a group of Argentine deputies announced their intention to seek an amendment to the Constitution to veto the indefinite reelection of presidents.

"We would like an eternal Cristina," the lawmaker said Diana Conti. "All the 'kirchnerismo' claims that Cristina is a candidate, its continuity. It is she who can go more deeply embody what started Nestor Kirchner, is ensuring the distribution of wealth in the country on an equal basis," he asserted Conti .

For its part, the opposition has rejected any reform in this sense when considering that "not a priority." "Reducing the debate on constitutional reform to the perpetuation in power is very low and in any case addiction naked power of 'Kirchner,'" said Senator Gerardo Morales radical.
