“I only ask God for one thing: that he gives me and all Argentine people integrity,” CFK exclaimed.

@ 1 I was thinking about her statement and wondering what it is that she so dislikes about Argentina that she wants to ”build a different country and a different society,”? Not improve on elements of the society but a completely different society. That is a pretty dramatic statement.

This is nothing more than another empire, under her name,
Christina’s empire goddess of the Argielands .
As long as she gets things her way, she will ruin all who follows her, she considers herself great, intelligent, pretty? And has a high following of men, then again i could just be dreaming lol

May 25, 1810 is about celebrating our first step to Independence, NOT about remembering Nestor “el pinguino” Kirchner May 25, 2003, correct?

@2 Obviously , she has a different agenda .... which I will call it “ El Pinguinato del Rio de la Plata”

5 You have it correct. May 25, 1810 was not started by Nestor K.

She has the right to grieve the loss of her husband.

Crying in public :
What in a man would be called maudlin or acting, in a woman it 'may' be indulgence, maudlin behaviour or acting, but it may be having 'different hormones'.
She is probably post-menopausal, but I have seen such women cry when 'confronted' - my old boss, and Margaret Thatcher when the Dead Sheep savaged her.

I doubt that she is really grieving over Nestor. They had an open marriage, where each one carried on with whom they wished, and whenever they wished. Even the Chief of Staff resigned when Nestor smacked her in the face over their election losses in the last provincial elections for congress.

@10 There is a time and a place to grieve somebody's loss, usually is within friends and family as a private manner and NOT in a public setting ..... BIG DIFFERENCE !
