Argentine President Cristina Fernandez has denounced what she calls anti-democratic maneuvers by right-wing groups to depose progressive governments in Latin America. In her country, major media outlets are alleging that Cabinet Chief Anibal Fernandez was the mastermind of a 2008 crime connected to Efedrin trafficking, based on evidence provided by a person serving a life sentence in prison. The President and other observers, however, charge that the rumor is an attempt to discredit her administration in the weeks before general elections. teleSUR
