President Alberto Fernández remembered Néstor Kirchner on Friday, on the 13th anniversary of his death, as the “man who transformed Argentina” during his tenure in the Casa Rosada between 2003 and 2007. Thirteen years after his departure, I remember my friend Néstor Kirchner, the man who with his policies, convictions and strengths, transformed Argentina,” said the head of state this morning, on his account on the social network X/Twitter, evoking the figure of the former Peronist president, of whom he was chief of staff. On October 27, 2010, former President Néstor Kirchner passed away at the age of 60. According to the official report, it was at 9:15 a.m. for a non-traumatic cardiorespiratory arrest after failing to respond to resuscitation maneuvers. The former Argentine president had already suffered several cardiac episodes, including a heart attack, and on the night of Saturday, September 11, 2010, forty-seven days before his death, he had undergone angioplasty for coronary artery obstruction. Although he was intubated, given an IV, defibrillated three times and given cardiac massages, the professionals were unable to revive him. That same night, his body was transferred to Buenos Aires and would be held at La Casa Rosada.
