Mercosur summit suspended following suicide of a top Argentine official
The Mercosur presidential summit in Montevideo has been temporarily suspended following the news that a member of the Argentine delegation had committed suicide which left delegation members in a state of shock.
On hearing the news Argentine President Cristina Fernandez suffered a decompensation and had to be taken for medical attention.
The news arrived following the presidential lunch and when the heads of state from Argentina, Cristina Fernandez, Brazil, Dilma Rousseff, Paraguay’s Fernando Lugo, Venezuela’s, Hugo Chavez, Rafael Correa from Ecuador and host Jose Mujica were preparing for the traditional Mercosur “family picture”.
All activities were immediately suspended.
Ivan Heyn, 33, apparently was a brilliant economist, Foreign Trade Deputy Secretary and a rising star in the new “K” generation which is sponsored by the son of Cristina Fernandez, Maximo Kirchner.
According to Argentine sources Heyn was the economics advisor of Maximo and his political movement, La Campora.
His taste for politics and ascension in the “K” group came through his close friend Vice President Amado Boudou.

Chau Pibe…
Ivan is not only used as a Russian name , used in few other
Latin Countries rarely......
BUT
remember similar names from different cultures
for example ...“”Ivanhoe“” from Britain............!!
I expect and demand from Argentines similar consideration if such a tragedy occurs to a Brit, or Falklander, whoever they might be.
A chance to keep your word, lets just see whether you do.
probably he was a foreign secret service agent.... !
outcome is very normal....!!
maybe he was not really Argentine citizen.....!
outcome is very normal .....!!
there are no any high buildings at Montevideo to make it guarantee..!!
i send my greetings to Mora & her parents ....!!
you know Robert FitzRoy ??..Charles Darwin's friend...!
maybe Redhoyt will tell us his suicide reasons...!!
God bless this man and his family.
In fact i seem to remember a time where a clear majority of this website was rather annoyed at Think himself due to his unwillingness to not troll a story and just clearly insult any memory of it.
Anyway, my thoughts go to his family.
May God rest his holy glory.
and you are the one with higher intellect?
My respects to Heyn's family
Obviously you are looking for a fight on your comment #27, so bring it on!! retardado mental
Shameful.
So by using your rudimentary way of thinking, what is :“ mora = 2 or more artilleros” , is that about an Obituary to Mr Heyn?? IMBECIL !!!!
How much are the diplomas where you live Carrizal? pretty cheap , I see. and it took How long to respond?
Do the world a favour - go and neck yourself too
