BUENOS AIRES, 16 Feb. (Reuters) - An Argentine court has blocked an attempt by the former adviser Mario Rotundo to sell 10,000 personal items the marriage of former President Juan Domingo Perón (1946-1952, 1952-1958 and 1973 - 1977) and Maria Eva Duarte, known as 'Evita', valued at $ 5 million (3.7 million euros) to confirm its authenticity and to consider its purchase by the state.
National Institute president after the former leader, Peter Lawrence, has initiated legal proceedings to prevent the loss of what should be state property. "If what is there belonged to Peron, the State has an obligation to expropriate and pay as appropriate," he said. In the same line, Rotundo said, but criticized the lack of determination of the authorities, who have spent years pondering the possibility of buying the property from the historic marriage.
"What we have to solve the state is a good time if you are going to buy or not and if not, we are free to share us to continue auctioning," he said. The former presidential adviser says it has about 10,000 artifacts belonging to the couple and that crowd in an apartment in Buenos Aires to the pending legal dispute is resolved.
While Rotundo is on the trail of thousands of others whose market price could reach $ 20 million (14.8 million euros). The custodian of these assets ensures that met Perón during his exile in Spain, where he requested that preserved their belongings after his death. Years later, the third wife of former president Maria Estela Martinez, was about to give in to Rotundo of these objects, but eventually backed off.
Since then, the former adviser has been dedicated to auction these goods. In 2004, he sold several items at Christie's, including silk veil covering the remains of 'Evita', which reached a value of $ 159,300 (117,943 euros), three times the estimated price.
