MIAMI HERALD/ ANDRES OPPENHEIMER OPINION :
"The death of former Argentine President Nestor Kirchner will most likely make it difficult for current President Cristina Fernández -- his widow -- to govern, and may speed up Argentina's reluctant insertion into the global economy.
Judging from my interviews with the late president, the current president and several of their closest advisers in recent years, Nestor Kirchner pretty much ran the government until the day of his death.
He was the harsh Peronist party leader who maintained union leaders under government control through a mix of intimidation and economic rewards. And he was behind virtually all of his wife's government decisions."
