Biografías Líderes Políticos

Continuously updated 474 biographies to familiarise oneself with the profiles and careers of world political leaders in their dual national and international contexts.

We highlight the profiles of:

Jaroslaw Kaczynski Polonia - Primer ministro El 14 de julio de 2006 Polonia marcó un registro político sin precedentes conocidos en la historia con la asunción como primer ministro de Jaroslaw Kaczynski, cuatro días después de ser nombrado para el puesto por su propio hermano y gemelo, Lech Kaczynski, a la sazón presidente de la República desde diciembre de 2005. Esta insólita situación, a la que, fuera de las acusaciones de intransigencia, se ha llegado por mecanismos estrictamente democráticos, arroja más incertidumbre, dentro y fuera de Polonia, a la ya suscitada por la agenda política del partido de derecha tradicionalista fundado por los hermanos y ahora presidido por Jaroslaw, Ley y Justicia (PiS), el cual gobierna en inestable coalición con unos socios ultranacionalistas y agrarios de marcado euroescepticismo.

Fredrik Reinfeldt Suecia - Primer ministro En Suecia, 12 años de gobiernos socialdemócratas tocaron a su fin el 6 de octubre de 2006 con la asunción de Fredrik Reinfeldt como primer ministro de un Gobierno de mayoría integrado por los cuatro partidos de la centroderechista Alianza por Suecia, vencedora en las elecciones generales del 17 de septiembre. La clave del éxito de quien en 2003 se convirtió con 38 años en el líder del Partido Moderado, de ideología conservadora liberal, y devolvió a sus correligionarios la ilusión perdida tras el batacazo electoral de 2002, se halla en un programa renovado y orientado al centro en el que la anterior pretensión de cercenar el avanzado aunque dispendioso Estado del bienestar sueco, lo que es rechazado por el grueso de la población, ha sido sustituida por la promesa de preservar este modelo de protección social, pero orientándolo al aumento de la actividad laboral.
