- Many adults in Argentina are content with Néstor Kirchner, according to a poll by Poliarquía Consultores. 59.4 per cent of respondents have a positive opinion of their president.

Kirchner finished second to former head of state Carlos Menem in the presidential election held in April 2003. Menem withdrew from the scheduled run-off after voting intention polls suggested an overwhelming victory for Kirchner, candidate of the Front for Victory (FV).

On Aug. 10, Kirchner urged the country's justices to proceed with their investigation on human rights violations committed during the 1976-83 military dictatorship, saying, "They're moving very slowly. They say there were more than 490 concentration camps, and we have detained fewer than 300 people."

The next presidential election is scheduled for October 2007. Kirchner is eligible for consecutive re-election.
