She took the oath as Vice President of Argentina.
So she’s 3/4 Spanish and 1/4 German but oddly enough looks Jewish.
I think she is less than 1/4 German, assuming it is even documented at all (there seem to be no source for his German ancestry, although it is likely due to the surname “Wilhelm”).

Cristina’s maternal grandparents were Carlos Nemesio Wilhelm Gutiérrez (the son of Carlos Wilhelm and Carlota Luisa Gutierrez) and María Vicenta Pulido Plaza (the daughter of Francisco Pulido and Victorina Plaza).
The two genealogies don’t agree on the birth place of her maternal grandmother.
Cristina is full-blooded European, so please remove “possibly other”
Cristina’s maternal grandmother was Vicenta Pulido. Vicenta was a Spanish immigrant.
Pascasio’s maternal family name is Gómez. He was a Spanish immigrant, from A Fonsagrada, Lugo, Galicia.
María Vicenta Pulido Plaza, from Madrid.
By the way, she is no longer the President of Argentina.
