Typical propagandist hateful rant by MercoPress. He was a very very good Foreign Minister. One of our best. And Nisman was killed by Iranian secret service. OBVIOUSLY End of story. Unfortunately in Britain's two and a half century long crusade to control the Southern Cone and now it appears the whole of our Continent, it is never “End of Story”, since somehow it continues to try and entangle Argentina into Nisman's murder. I'm surprised Lula, Mujica, Correa, Morales and the late Chavez are not also being blamed for Nisman's murder

Following your lead, I liked his father's courage.

It's very clear to most Argentines that they themselves were responsible.

Nismans death? Any fule kno who dunit, state sponsored RG death squad! As for old Timmernan his Dad would have rolled in his grave had he had knowledge of his sons misdeeds. His Jermyn Street excursions and Harrods trips are his legacy. A donkey would have made a better Foreign Minister.
He never sorted our Sepoys….

RIP comrade. A good man and a great foreign minister, I would have liked to see him as President. His blood is on the hands of Macri and the judicial establishment for preventing his medical treatment, tragic and shameful
