About Carlos Menem
Carlos Saúl Menem (Anillaco, La Rioja, July 2nd 1930) is an Argentine politician and lawyer. He held the position of President of the Nation between 1989 and 1999. As President, he identified as a right-wing "Federal Peronist" who supported the Washington Consensus. He implemented neoliberal economic policies which privatized many state-run industries and pegged the Argentine peso to the U.S. dollar. He also pursued closer diplomatic relations with the United States, normalized diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom for the first time since the Falklands War, and made significant amendments to the Argentine Constitution in 1994 under a deal with Raúl Alfonsín's left-wing opposition. Although Menem's economic policies were initially successful, his administration's tax cuts, heavy government borrowing, and inability to maintain the peso's fixed exchange rate with the dollar eventually resulted in a severe deficit and the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression. Menem tried to run for President again in the 2003 Argentine general election but dropped out to avoid a run-off defeat to Néstor Kirchner, and was later investigated for corruption.

Additional quotes by Carlos Menem
English: "...a space flight system will be leased, through which a platform that perhaps will be installed in the province of Córdoba. Those spaceships, with all current and future security measures, are going to leave the atmosphere, take off to the stratosphere, and from there choose the place where they want to go. In such a way that, in one hour and a half we can be from Argentina in Japan, Korea or any other part of the world. And of course, flights to other planets, the day we detect that on other planets there's also life"
