Argentina: Former President, Nestor Kirchner, Dies · Global Voices
Jorge Gobbi

This Wednesday, early in the morning, Nestor Kirchner, former president and husband of the current president Cristina Fernandez, died of a heart attack at Calafate, a Patagonian location where he lived in the last years.
The sudden death of Kichner caused several gatherings throughout the day in downtown Buenos Aires, despite it was a national holiday because a census was being held.  A wake is expected to take place in the Casa Rosada (Government Palace), the traditional workplace for presidents.

There were many repercussions in blogs. At ArtePolítica [es], Juan Pablo Cappelli writes that Kirchner’s great contribution,
fue devolverle la política a la sociedad, al pueblo. Demostrar que el cambio es posible, descolonizar nuestro pensamiento. Antes pedíamos que se vayan todos y ahora muchos queremos entrar, antes decían “algo habrán hecho” y ahora decimos “hagamos algo”, porque sabemos, ahora mas que nunca, que es la política la única herramienta de transformación de la sociedad
At Los Tres Chiflados [es] Larry says,
Gracias Néstor, ahora voy a despedirte junto al pueblo, en forma de agradecimiento por demostrarme con actitud y hechos que otra Argentina es posible, que la historia puede cambiarse si se tiene coraje y convicciones

Pobre Cristina — nuestras humildes condolencias. Ojalá que tenga el ánimo para que el ciclo kirchnerista termine con el balance generalmente positivo que –en el neto de causas y azares de todos colores– tiene de momento
Noticias del Sur [es] gathers  the declarations of other Latin American leaders. At  Mide/No Mide [es] and Lo que digo y no hago [es] they point out that after Kirchner’s death Argentinean bonds and stocks increased their value.
