    • 2023 May 25, Federico Rivas Molina, “El lento pero persistente declive del kirchnerismo”, in El País:
      El 25 de mayo de 2003, hace exactamente 20 años, Kirchner juraba como presidente, se mezclaba entre la multitud, recibía un corte en el rostro producto de un golpe fortuito con una cámara de fotos y se proclamaba el timonel de una nueva Argentina. Nacía el kirchnerismo.
