BUENOS AIRES.- Martha Holgado, who claims to be general Juan Domingo Peron’s daughter, indicated yesterday that "after much suffering and humiliation, the moment of truth has arrived", with the accomplishment of genetic tests effected on the three times Argentine president’s corpse.

"I have a mixture of feelings; I am contented because the moment after 15 years of fight has arrived, but I have undergone all kinds of humiliations, they have even put me under psychological studies", affirmed Holgado.

In this sense, the 70 year old woman accused Peron’s widow, Maria Estela Martinez, who resides in Spain at the present time, " of trying to stop the wheels and prevent until the last moment" the accomplishment of the DNA tests that will shine a light on Holgado’s claims of being Partido Justicialista (PJ, Peronist), founder’s daughter.

"I am calm and in peace with my self, but Isabel - as Martinez is known – sleeps with the disappeared people’s ghosts who found their fate "during her presidential mandate, which initiated in 1974 with Peron’s death and was later overthrown (1976) by a military coup”, she said.

Amidst a security operative in the Buenos Aires’ cemetery of La Chacarita, a group of forensic experts extracted yesterday samples from Peron’s mummified corpse to carry out the genetic examinations, the results will be ready in about 45 days, in fulfillment of the resolution emitted by Judge Mirta Ilundain.

"I still haven’t determined what I am going to do once the DNA results are ready. I must speak it with my son”.

But for sure I will remain being the same person and I am not going to engage in revenge", said Holgado, confident that the results will prove her right,

Holgado was born in Buenos Aires in 1934; she affirms that she is Peron’s and Maria Demarchi’s daughter who maintained a romance while the general lived with Maria Tizón, first of Peron’s three spouses, Holgado sustains.

She claims that the President recognized her as daughter in notarized deed that disappeared mysteriously from the official registries and that, when she was 19 years old when she first found out he was her father, they tried "to recover lost time".

"We had a fluid relation, we saw each other daily. From 1953 I was with him during all the important moments of his life until the time of his death; and unlike many people think, I never allowed him to make public the fact that I was his daughter to protect my mother since I was an extramarital child", maintained Holgado.

She assures to have powerful witnesses from Peronist friends and the Holgado family to attest that she was with Peron during all of his political life in which he governed Argentina from 1946 to 1955 and from 1973 to 1974.

The DNA testing is being done in a three way comparative, for that, forensic experts explained that four samples were taken, one to compare with Martha Holgado, one to compare with her son Horacio, one to compare with Alejandro Rodriguez Perón, a General Peron’s nephew-grandson who has supposedly no connection with Holgado and one to save as reserve.
