NATIONAL AND PROVINCIAL THEMES 
 
 
1.  (SBU)  SUMMARY:  On August 9, Ambassador Wayne received 
Senator Jorge Capitanich, a pro-Kirchner candidate for 
governor in the poor northern province of Chaco.  Capitanich 
described the main themes of his gubernatorial campaign and 
the lack of critical infrastructure in his province.   He 
explained his support for the civil aviation reform bill that 
is still awaiting passage.  Capitanich lamented the decreased 
political role of the National Congress, and said that he 
believes Senator and First Lady Cristina Fernandez de 
Kirchner will win the presidency in October.  END SUMMARY. 
 
----------------------- 
Capitanich for Governor 
----------------------- 
 
2.  (SBU)  On August 9, Ambassador Wayne received Senator and 
candidate for governor Jorge Capitanich from Chaco province. 
Capitanich described the main themes of his gubernatorial 
campaign and the lack of critical infrastructure in his 
province.  Capitanich, 42, is running with President 
Kirchner's FPV coalition.  He said that the province of Chaco 
is suffering from a significant lack of development.  He said 
that 22% of the province's population falls below the poverty 
line, 100,000 residents are malnourished, 50% do not have 
access to potable water, and 60% lack running water and 
sewers.  Capitanich said that these problems were the result 
of a lack of infrastructure and mismanagement, since the 
province receives federal resources that should be sufficient 
to address these issues.  He said that he has three main 
campaign themes: creation of jobs, access to potable water, 
and improving education.  Capitanich said he has a plan to 
create 20,000 new formal jobs in Chaco by investing in public 
works to build public housing and water and sewer systems. 
He said he would use incentives and subsidies to encourage 
employers and employees working in the informal economy to 
legitimize off-the-books employment.  Capitanich also said he 
would propose an education exchange if elected governor.  He 
said that his plan was to exchange federal debt for education 
investment in the province. 
 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
Civil Aviation Reform: Contraband Flights in North 
--------------------------------------------- ----- 
 
3.  (U)  Ambassador Wayne asked Capitanich about the status 
of the airports fee structure bill and thanked him for being 
a strong supporter of these reforms, which, among other 
things, would lower the fees airlines (including American 
carriers) would pay in Argentina.  Speaking about the 
aviation system in general, Capitanich said that he believes 
Argentina is in serious need of modernization.  He mentioned 
that new radars had just been approved, but that better 
investment in airports and the creation of a civil aviation 
agency was also needed.  He said that Argentina needs strong 
control of air traffic.  He mentioned that this is a big 
concern in his home province of Chaco, where flights carrying 
contraband including drugs and arms pose a serious threat. 
He said that he would work to improve control of air traffic 
in Chaco if elected governor. 
 
------------- 
Weak Congress 
------------- 
 
4.  (C)  Capitanich said that institutionally, the National 
Congress in Argentina plays no real political role.  He said 
that perhaps after the elections in October Congress might 
return to more normal activity.  He said that under President 
Nestor Kirchner, the Congress has been marginalized and 
ignored.  Capitanich said that he thinks Congress needs to 
get its power back and assert itself in the political 
activity in Argentina. 
 
---------------------- 
Cristina for President 
---------------------- 
 
5.  (C)  Capitanich said that he believes Senator and First 
Lady Cristina Kirchner will win the October presidential 
elections easily. He said that he believes she will have an 
important agenda, including reinserting Argentina into the 
international community and working to attract more foreign 
investment in Argentina, especially in the energy sector. 
 
------------------------- 
Invitation to visit Chaco 
------------------------- 
 
6.  (C)  Capitanich invited Ambassador Wayne to visit Chaco 
province.  He said that, if elected governor, he would like 
to increase ties between the province and the United States. 
He specifically mentioned trying to increase student and 
teacher exchanges, commercial ties, sporting ties and 
cultural exchanges, and biofuels.  Capitanich said he has 
been following USG efforts to work with Brazil on biofuels 
and he would like to try to join those efforts.  He said that 
he has a different view of the U.S. than most Argentines 
right now (apparently referring to the high reported 
anti-American sentiment), believing the United States should 
be Argentina's main partner in development.  He said that he 
knows this view does not always win votes, but he believes a 
strategic alliance with the United States would be good for 
Argentina's future.  Capitanich also mentioned an interest in 
attracting more information technology investment to Chaco.

Bio

7.  (U)  Jorge Milton Capitanich is a Peronist Senator 
representing the province of Chaco.  He is articulate and has 
proven a willingness to proactively intervene to find 
solutions on key issues as Senator.  He was elected in 2001 
and sits in the pro-President Kirchner Victory Front Block in 
the Senate.  Capitanich served as Minister of Economy for a 
few hours during Ramon Puerta's two-day provisional 
Administration after the fall of President De la Rua in 
December 2001.  In 2003, he ran for governor of Chaco, but 
was defeated by Roy Nikisch of the Radical Civic Union, 
despite strong campaign support from President Kirchner. 
Among other public positions, he served as Under Secretary of 
Social Projects (1998) and Under Secretary of Technical and 
Administrative Coordination of the Secretariat of Social 
Development (1995). Capitanich descends from the first 
Montenegrins who settled in Chaco and created the Colonia La 
Montenegrina, the biggest Montenegrin colony in South 
America. He was an academic before entering politics.  He 
graduated as a Public Accountant in 1988 and holds Master's 
degrees in Public Policies and Administration, Economy and 
Political Sciences, and Administration Sciences.  He was born 
in Chaco in 1964.
