Guess who's “Botox Queen” and the “Pampas magpie”?

Even when Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner's two day visit to Spain can be rated better than expected, the media had a completely different opinion of whom they labelled “botox queen” and the “Pampas magpie”.

The Spanish media was furious with what has become a distinctive lack of politeness from the Argentina president: she's usually late to her appointments. This happened with the official dinner offered by King Juan Carlos who together with the royal family, prime minister, cabinet members, top businessmen and special guests had to wait forty minutes, which forced to change the whole evening's schedule of greetings, speeches and the dinner. She also was late to a cultural event at the Casa de America and to her speech before the Spanish Congress. Madrid has received the visit of the "botox queen", the anti-age heroine" reads a column from Madrid's prestigious El Mundo. The column adds that "the King and the president, rightfully so, are furious because they have been disrespected by this post-modern Evita (Peron) who hasn't come to bring us wheat, but to threaten us with her tricky nationalizations, while her oligarch friends, as usual, hoard their moneys in Switzerland. They call Cristina the "Pampas magpie" but at the other side of the ocean she might be seen as the liberator, the patriot of Aerolineas Argentinas. The article also mentions that as a good Peronist she's brought along in her delegation a trade unionist by the name of Hugo Moyano, who organized the big rally in Buenos Aires against Galicians (as Spaniards are disrespectfully called in Argentina) when the government expropriated Aerolíneas.
