Many more questions will follow for Argentina, which has been mercifully free of political violence since the 1970s
evening of September 1st Argentina’s vice-president was returning to her flat in Buenos Aires when a man leapt forward and pointed a loaded gun at her face at point-blank range. The videos show Ms Fernández recoiling, as if hit by a puff of air. The assailant was quickly overpowered by her security detail.
The suspected assailant, Fernando Montiel, is a 35-year-old Brazilian resident in Argentina with a previous conviction for possession of an unlicensed weapon and with apparent extreme-right wing sympathies. His action came as Ms Fernández has polarised Argentina—not for the first time. She leads the leftist-populist wing of Peronism, the country’s dominant and amorphous political movement.
