My generation... and how it ends

Cristina Fernandez and Nestor Kirchner, former Presidents (both) of Argentina, did not start their careers as gangsters. Yes, they ended as bosses of a well organized corruption gang that vacuumed hundreds of millions from Argentina coffers, but originally they were courageous members of the Juventud Peronista. Gladis D'alessandro and Chiche Labolita were a young couple in 1975 - he had been the leader of the Montonero group of Berisso (La Plata). They left the organization and lived in the underground, knowing that their chances were few. One day a girl appeared at their door and said: "I am Cristina, Lupin's companera". We invite you to live with us in City Bell. They shared Cristina's house, till the four were discovered and detained by the dictatorship. Cristina and Nestor were let go after a month, Chiche was tortured and disappeared. Gladis was liberated after being tortured and taken to a tour in the city to "mark" their friends. The Kirchners are bona fide Peronists, having spent time in the underground and jail during the military terror. How is that this idealist couple ended as they did (see post below how they organized Argentina's emptying)? I don't know.
