    President Cristina Kirchner  unveiled a giant 31 meter/100 ft forged steel portrait  covering the health ministry in downtown Buenos Aires...depicting a glamorous Evita .
    It marks the 59th anniversary of her death at the age of 33 while at the height of her popularity.
    "She was the most hated but the most loved, the most offended, insulted and discounted but the most venerated – the most humiliated but today eternally victorious," CFK said. "She taught us that to confront the powerful carries a high price."
