translated from Spanish: Who is Alberto Fernandez, the candidate for the presidency of Argentina who will go in the formula with Cristina Kirchner

Therefore, one of the formulas for the upcoming primaries, open, simultaneous and compulsory (PASO) elections of Argentina planned for August will be Fernandez-Fernandez. The date of the general presidential election is October 27th.
For his part, Alberto Fernandez said this Saturday in his Twitter account that his goal is to “take Argentina out of prostration.”
But who is the man who is running for the so-called “chair of Rivadavia”?
A moderate critic
Alberto Fernandez was born in Argentina province Buenos Aires 60 years ago.
Alberto Fernandez was chief of staff in the presidency of Nestor and Cristina Kirchner.
He is a lawyer, associate professor in the Department of Criminal Law and criminal litigation at the University of Buenos Aires, and since his youth he was linked to the insurance and financial services sector.
Only in the year 2000 he entered the policy officially as a legislator for the city of Buenos Aires for the Action Party for the Republic, which postulated Domingo Cavallo, former minister of Economy of Carlos Menem, as head of government of the Federal Capital.
And his political career grew rapidly.
Fernandez was very soon with the late former president Nestor Kirchner. He assumed as his chief of staff in 2003.
He continued as chief of staff when Cristina Fernandez, Nestor Kirchner’s wife, won the elections in 2007.
But in 2008 he resigned amid a harsh conflict with the country’s agricultural sector for a field tax package.
At that time Alberto Fernandez turned away from Kirchnerism and founded his own political party, PART.
Already in 2013, he joined the renewing front led by Sergio Massa, the politician who replaced him when he left the position as chief of staff of Cristina Kirchner.
Since leaving the government of CFK, Alberto Fernandez became a critic of Kirchnerism but is considered a moderate in peronism.
“It represents more the kirchnernismo of Nestor than that of Cristina: it is more center than progressive. More writer than polarizing, “described Daniel Pardo, BBC World correspondent in Argentina.
A source of citizen unity, the party created by the Exmandataria, said that Alberto Fernandez will be able to attract the support of Peronist governors who felt farther away from Cristina Fernandez, and at the same time she maintains its role, as published Reuters.
The Fernandez-Fernandez formula is presented as the main opposition to the current Argentine president Mauricio Macri, which leads a country with a serious economic crisis and one of the highest inflation in the world, after Venezuela.
This is “An unexpected move that aims to generate consensus within the electorate in search of a solid option that can win the Macrismo, even in the first round (won with 45%),” said Pardo.
