Overview
- Vice President Victoria Villarruel attended Sunday’s ceremony in Formosa marking 50 years since the attack on the Regimiento de Infantería Monte 29 and was seated beside Governor Gildo Insfrán.
- Insfrán shared photos on X showing them together at the official tributes, while Villarruel’s initial post commemorated the date without publishing joint images.
- Following criticism from libertarian-aligned voices, including a post by filmmaker Santiago Oría, Villarruel replied on X that her role requires visiting provinces and she shared additional photos from the event.
- In her remarks at the ceremony, she honored fallen soldiers and police and urged Argentines to set aside divisions to work toward national unity.
- The appearance unfolded as national politics were roiled by José Luis Espert’s resignation over a reported $200,000 payment from businessman Fred Machado, drawing added attention to the Formosa optics.
