this political narrative had been first established by néstor kirchner. it relied in comparisons with the 1970s national reorganization process. it claimed that the neoliberal policies of the 1990s were actually an evolution of the economic policies of the military dictatorship, and that previous governments had failed to punish their crimes. both the military and civilian governments were thus treated as a continuity, which would have caused the crisis of 2001 and that the kirchners would be breaking.
