Early life of Néstor Kirchner

Néstor Carlos Kirchner (25 February 1950 – 27 October 2010) was an Argentine politician who served as the 54th President of Argentina from 25 May 2003 until 10 December 2007.

They married and had three children: Alicia, María Cristina, and Néstor Carlos Kirchner, who was named after his father.

Because of the political turmoil of the country in those years, children were usually asked if their family was made of peronists or antiperonists, and had to be careful with their answer.

The country was experiencing great political turmoil at that time, with the Rosariazo and the Cordobazo leading to the end of the rule of Onganía.

However, the need to lift the proscription over peronism and allow the return of Juan Domingo Perón to the country was a political idea supported by all student groups, even non-peronists.

[5] Kirchner joined the FURN (Spanish: Federación Universitaria de la Revolución Nacional), a group whose political affiliation is disputed.

Rodolfo Achem and Carlos Miguel, founding members of the FURN were shot two days after the death of Perón.

[7] During this time, Kirchner was among the peronists who did not support right-wing peronism, but had not become partisans either, and faced the risk of being attacked by either of the conflicting sides.

There was no religious ceremony, only a civil wedding, and Kirchner's friends sang "Los muchachos peronistas", a peronist hymn, during the event.
