</p>
<p>Fernandez, whose party was inspired by Evita’s husband, strongman Juan Peron, said the initial printing will be commemorative, but she said she wants all new 100-peso notes to eventually carry the former first lady’s image, replacing that of Julio Argentino Roca, a 19th century president. </p>
</p>
<p>“After 200 years it’s the first time that a woman appears on a bill, and if you have to honor the gender, who better than the figure of Eva?” she asked. </p>
</p>
<p>Peron was a controversial figure, but one who fought with passion for society to be more equal and just, Fernandez said. </p>
</p>
<p>“It’s not that Eva was a saint. It’s not that she didn’t make mistakes … She was a humble woman of the people,” the president said. “Honoring her with this bill is a way of recovering justice.”</p>
