With regard to the economy Duhalde and his Economy Minister Jorge Remes Lenicov decided on an even more extreme freezing of the bank deposits, which was then coupled with the so-called pesificación (" peso-ification ", a forced transformation of all dollar-denominated accounts into pesos at an arbitrary fixed exchange rate ), and a regulated devaluation.

In January 2002, the new president, Eduardo Duhalde, repealed the Convertibility Law and adopted a new, provisional fixed exchange rate of 1. 4 pesos to the dollar ( a 29 % devaluation ) and the conversion of all the bank ' accounts denominated in dollars into pesos and its transformation in bonds (" Corralon "); soon afterward it completely abandoned its peg and allowed the peso to float freely, resulting in a swift depreciation of the peso, which lost 75 % of its value with respect to the U. S. dollar in a matter of months.

However, massive discontent followed the " forced pesification " of the dollar deposits at an exchange rate of 1. 40 pesos, after Duhalde had said that people who had deposited dollars would receive dollars, in what is now a famous reference in Argentine political culture.

Duhalde had the freeze lifted in December.

The provincial governor Eduardo Duhalde claimed that negotiations may have been negatively affected by the police constant communication with radio and television reporters.

De la Rúa considered that Duhalde organized a coup d ' état against him Rodolfo Terragno, De la Rúa's Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers, thought instead that the crisis was the exclusive result of keeping the peso-dollar parity despite of the costs generated by it.

Duhalde was succeeded by Néstor Kirchner on May 25, 2003.

Duhalde confirmed his strength among centrist and conservative Peronists as the 2011 campaign unfolded by narrowly defeating Rodríguez Saá in a Buenos Aires Federal Peronist primary in May, though both men remained front-runners for their party's nomination in August.

Menem did not run, and the PJ nominated Duhalde, who was in turn defeated during the October 1999 elections by Buenos Aires Mayor Fernando de la Rúa, the Alliance candidate, and the party lost its majority in Congress.

Amid strong public rejection of the entire political class, characterized by the pithy slogan que se vayan todos (" away with them all "), Duhalde brought elections forward by six months.

Even though Kirchner ran for the presidency with the support of Eduardo Duhalde, he was not the initial candidate chosen by the president.

Kirchner's Frente para la Victoria ( FPV, Front for Victory ) was overwhelmingly the winner ( the candidates of the FPV got more than 40 % of the national vote ), following which many supporters of other factions ( mostly those led by former presidents Eduardo Duhalde and Carlos Menem ) migrated to the FPV.

This strategy was used against financial sectors, military, police, foreign countries, international bodies, newspapers, and even Duhalde himself, with varying levels of success.
