  The strange, grisly saga of Eva Perón’s corpse

  Such was the outpouring of public grief following the death in July 1952 of Eva Perón, wife of Argentine President Juan Perón, that crowds surged dangerously towards her body as it was being moved to the Ministry of Labour building.

  'Shadow of history': As Peronism returns, Argentine play explores its darker roots

  Gonzalo Demaría is fascinated by the "ghosts" of Argentina's past, in particular the roots of Peronism, the most influential political movement dating back to Juan Peron and his wife Eva Peron that is now set for a return to power.
