A bust of Evita Peron was inaugurated this Friday in a park in Havana, Cuba five years after its placement. The statue was to be unveiled by former Argentine President Nestor Kirschner, but his sudden death forced its postponement. In today’s ceremony, the government highlighted Evita’s struggle for the rights of the impoverished. Argentina’s Foreign Minister said that the late second wife of Juan Peron would have been the first to demand an end to the US blockade of the island, had she still been here. teleSUR.
