Biography

Eduardo Alberto Duhalde (Spanish pronunciation: [eˈðwaɾðo alˈβeɾto ˈðwalde] ; born 5 October 1941) is a former politician from Argentina. A member of the Peronist party, Duhalde served as the President of Argentina from January 2002 to May 2003. In the 1990s, he also held the positions of vice president and governor of Buenos Aires.

Duhalde was elected to the local legislature and appointed intendente (mayor) in 1973. He was deposed during the 1976 Argentine coup d'état. After democracy returned, he was elected again in 1983. He was elected vice president of Argentina in 1989, under President Carlos Menem. Duhalde resigned as vice president and was elected governor of Buenos Aires Province in 1991, and re-elected in 1995.

He ran for president in 1999 and was defeated by Fernando de la Rúa, who ended up resigning during the December 2001 riots. After he resigned, Congress appointed the governor of San Luis Province Adolfo Rodríguez Saá as president. When Rodríguez Saá also resigned, Congress appointed Duhalde. During Duhalde’s presidency, a major currency devaluation and rising exchange rates contributed to a gradual economic recovery. He successfully supported the candidate Néstor Kirchner against Menem. Duhalde is largely retired from politics since his defeat in the 2011 presidential elections.
