Qué grande, la Argentina en boca de todos. Y no precisamente por virtuosos. El análisis del NYT:
Mr. Kirchner is not the first Argentine president to try to draw his wife into a more powerful role. Gen. Juan Perón, Argentina’s most revered leader, tried in 1951 to make his popular wife, Eva, his running mate. But the leaders of his party did not want a woman on the ticket and kept her off. She died in 1952.
Later, the general succeeded in making his third wife, María Estela Martínez de Perón, known as Isabel, his vice president. After he died in 1974, she became the first woman to serve as Argentina’s president, serving nearly two years before she was ousted in a military coup.
Imelda Marcos was a powerful figure in the Philippine government led by her husband, Ferdinand. But after he was toppled in a coup in 1986, she went into exile with him, only to return after his death to run for president. She never won.
Even if Hillary Rodham Clinton were to win the White House next November, her husband would not be the one to hand power over to her — though he would probably be very much at her side during her presidency.
Con esos antecedentes, una razón más (una raya más al tigre) para desear que Hillary siga siendo senadora.
