Close Adviser to Argentine President Dies Under Suspicious Circumstances
December 22, 2011 • 10:01AM
Ivan Heyn, Argentina's Undersecretary of Foreign Trade and an economic adviser to President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, was found dead in his hotel room in Montevideo, Uruguay, on the afternoon of Nov. 20, allegedly a suicide victim. However, the circumstances surrounding his death are highly suspicious, as there is no apparent motive, and he had been seen just hours before in excellent spirits, laughing and joking with associates, and expected to contribute to discussions at the heads-of-state summit of the Common Market of the South (Mercosur), where he was a member of the Argentine delegation. Heyn had only been named to his post ten days earlier by the President.
Nothing has been officially confirmed as to the cause of Heyn's death. Uruguayan police are still investigating, and Argentine government officials have refrained from speculating. Some Argentine media and intelligence sources hypothesize, however, that the young economist, who was one of the President's closest advisors on economic policy, as well as extremely close to the President's son Maximo — both were militants in the Peronist group La Campora — was murdered to "send a message" to President Fernandez.
The Argentine leader's fierce defense of the general welfare and her country's national interests are constant irritants to Wall Street and the City of London, whose killer financier oligarchy would like nothing better than to see her "eliminated." Recall, too, that Zionist Lobby mouthpieces — not to mention Barack "Nero" Obama — have been clobbering Fernandez recently on the Iran issue, charging her with "going soft" on Teheran, and warning her to either get into line behind the World War III drive, or face the consequences.
Hector Alderete, a former official of the Argentine intelligence service, SIDE, and founder of the normally anti-Kirchner Seprin news agency, wrote yesterday that there are reasons to suspect murder, given Heyn's membership in La Campora and the fact that "he had the support and friendship of the President." Moreover, Cristina had recently taken measures negatively affecting powerful business, political, and economic interests. For obvious reasons, the government won't call it murder, Alderete wrote, but if it were, "the message is clear: [the government] can't do what it wants without measuring the consequences of its actions. And this may be just the beginning." He reports that intelligence and investigative sources consulted are leaning toward the murder hypothesis.
Fernandez was so deeply affected by the news of Heyn's death, that she had to withdraw from Mercosur summit deliberations to be treated by her personal physician. In paying homage to him today during a speech in Buenos Aires, Fernandez said that Heyn was like a son to her, just as were so many of the young people who became politically active in recent years. He was an "untiring militant" and "brilliant economist" who had distanced himself from the destructive monetarist policies "that had done so much damage to politics and the country." She added that she would nonetheless not be deterred in defending her economic model, and "serving as a soldier" in defense of Argentina's 40 million citizens.
