In the elections of June 28, 2009, the Argentine people chose half of the representatives of Congress and the third part of the Senate. According to the results achieved by this vote, the forces opposing the government of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner were winners, getting together 53.7% of the votes counted, while the Kirchner's party received only 31.03 % of popular support.
That is, for every vote received by the president's party, those parties who reject her administration won nearly two, which reflects disenchantment with the current Argentine government.
There is no doubt that the corruption scandals, the constant attacks on the media and the farmers, the alliance with Hugo Chavez and government inefficiency are the main causes behind the deterioration of the legitimacy of Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's government, who will now have to learn to govern with the legislature controlled by the opposition.
