The sudden death of former Argentinian President, Nestor Kirchner, on Thursday has been having a huge impact on the people of Argentina. The people's reaction to his death reveals the deep love and respect they had for him. Such a sense of loss and adoration can surely be explained by the simple fact that Nestor Kirchner loved and respected them, listened to them and placed their interests above all others.
