She is a member of Justicialist Party, a party that was founded by military dictator and Nazi supporter Juan Peron. While accusing former president Jorge Videla of being a "dictator", she remains silent about the crimes by Juan Peron. She was elected in 2007 as president and reelected in 2011.[1]
Kirchner supports same-sex "marriage".[2] She stated her desire to transform her country into an Marxist state.[3][Dead link]
