Today, former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner wished the new Commander in Chief of the United States, President Barack Obama, luck and said he has hopes that "his ideas can be fulfilled" for the recovery of the country.

The former president commented, “I hope that he is lucky, that his goals are fulfilled, and that the American people are pleased”. Kirchner presides as commander of the Partido Justicialista (PJ), which is located on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Kirchner was careful to remind all whom were present "of the incorrect functionality of the structure of the world economy, of the International Monetary Fund and of the World Bank," which, according to his administration, finished "unearthing the international crisis."

Moreover, Argentine entrepreneurs were granted "responsibility and solidarity" in a year in which the world faces a "huge crisis."

"Friends: Sometimes it's better to win a bit less in exchange for ensuring social harmony. You have done well. If you understand that this is a moment of solidarity, we will march correctly," he said.

It was at this point during his speech when Kirchner asked the country’s businessmen "to not touch a single job" and to “maintain levels of activity," while requesting "prudence" to the workers in discussions over salaries.


Kirchner le desea suerte a Obama

El ex presidente argentino Néstor Kirchner deseó hoy "suerte" al gobernante de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, y dijo que espera que "se puedan cumplir sus ideas" para la recuperación del país.

"Ojalá tenga suerte, que sus ideas se puedan cumplir y que a usted y la gente de su país les vaya bien", dijo el ex mandatario (2003-2007) al encabezar en las afueras de Buenos Aires un acto del gobernante Partido Justicialista (PJ), que preside.

Kirchner aprovechó también la ocasión para recordar que durante su mandato advirtió "del incorrecto funcionamiento de la estructura de la economía mundial, del Fondo Monetario Internacional y del Banco Mundial", lo que a su juicio terminó "desatando la crisis internacional".

En ese sentido, solicitó "responsabilidad y solidaridad" a los empresarios argentinos en un año en el que, enfatizó, el mundo atraviesa una "crisis inmensa".

"Amigos: a veces es mejor ganar un poco menos a cambio de asegurar la convivencia social. A ustedes les ha ido bien. Si entienden que es un momento de solidaridad, vamos a marchar correctamente", destacó.

En este punto, Kirchner pidió a los empresarios que "no toquen un solo empleo" y que "mantengan los niveles de actividad", al tiempo que solicitó "prudencia" a los trabajadores en la discusión sobre salarios
