There’s no place like home, according to Isabel Peron. The former Argentine president, who made a surprise return to her homeland last month for the first time since 1984, told a Buenos Aires radio station that she plans to stay. “I was happy in Spain (but) I’m Argentine and this is a country I love very much.” Peron, whose full name is Maria Estela Peron, is the widow of Gen. Juan D. Peron, who was elected president three times. She ruled Argentina from the time of his death in 1974 until she was ousted in a military coup in March, 1976. She was held under house arrest until 1981, when she was allowed to leave the country. Since her return she has met with leaders of the Peronist party founded by her late husband in the 1940s.
