June 24 Argentine president to run again

on Friday 24 June 2011
Lola Colombo called her children to make sure they were safe. She was sure they'd have heard the rumours and gone home, bought provisions and ammunition if they'd ever listened to their father.
The country had only just got back on it's feet after the last time the President ran off. For the first few weeks of his dissapearence it'd been business as usual, a holiday like feeling but like a class left without a teacher eventually things got out of hand, as if people felt they had been presented with a window to do what they want, to settle scores and sort out injustices.  On his return President Acosta addressed the nation and explained he was sorry and that he'd lost track of the time. That was just before the night of the burning fury, the last time she'd seen Hugo.
The phone went just as Lola about given up for the night.
" Isabel? .."
"It's ok, it's ok, we're safe, we're all safe and we've a plan Mama, a plan that will mean our President nevers leaves us again, don't be scared, we love you and we're coming for you "
Lola knew poured herself a glass of wine, they were little fighters, her children.
