El Adios a Nestor

Well, without trying to insult anyone or make anyone appear as ignorant, I think many are underestimating the mobilisation power of the peronistas and how much a chori and vino can carry them. For the expats among you, next time you see a demontration in Plaza de Mayo, watch around there for the number of organge-coloured schoo buses. They are 'chori-vino' carriers. Buses are filled with more people than you could imagine, probably well over 60 people per bus.
And I was not saying that ALL the mourners were after chori and vino, but surely a few thousands of them.
 
Also, for many unemployed chori-vino demonstrators the alternative is to stay home sipping mate. A free bus trip downtown, complete with vino and a choripan, can be welcome entertainment.
