BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Argentina’s Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner called for a political “reorganization” on Friday, hinting at the possibility of a presidential run next year as speculation builds about her candidacy.
Kirchner, considered by many the most powerful leader in her ruling coalition, didn’t explicitly speak of running. But she told an arena full of union workers that “we were happy people” in December 2015 when her two-term presidency ended.
“I’m going to do whatever I have to do so that our people, our society, can reorganize ourselves in a direction for the country that recovers the hope, strength and happiness of our people,” Kirchner said to applause at an arena in suburban Buenos Aires.
