Jorge Remes Lenicov
Argentinian politician
Jorge Remes Lenicov (born 1948) is an Argentine peronist economist and politician who served as Minister of Economy and Production from January 3 till April 27, 2002 under Acting President Eduardo Duhalde.
His short term during the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression was unpopular. Remes Lenicov decided on an extreme freezing of the bank deposits, which was then coupled with the so-called pesificación ("peso-ification", a forced conversion of all U.S. dollar-denominated savings accounts into pesos at an arbitrary fixed exchange rate, considered by many constitutionalists to violate the fundamental right to private property), and a regulated devaluation. The fixed exchange rate system was abandoned soon afterwards, which was followed by a large depreciation and inflation.
Afterwards Remes Lenicov served as Argentine ambassador to the European Union till 2011.

Why this record matters
The phrase “argentinian politician” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The entry’s evidential value lies in the named roles, institutions and publications that can be tested against primary documentation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 8, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q5935879. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1948, 2002, 1998 and 2011.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
