Overview

• Vice President Victoria Villarruel attended the official commemoration in Formosa for the 50th anniversary of the attack on the Army’s Monte 29 regiment alongside Governor Gildo Insfrán.
• Insfrán posted photos from the dais that showed Villarruel at his side and framed the event as the “Día del Héroe Formoseño,” while his message did not mention her by name.
• Villarruel marked the anniversary on X with a tribute to fallen soldiers and a historical recounting of the 1975 events but did not share images with Insfrán.
• Milei-aligned figures condemned her presence next to the Peronist governor, with filmmaker Santiago Oría labeling it a betrayal of La Libertad Avanza voters.
• The appearance comes as the ruling coalition contends with political fallout from José Luis Espert’s resignation over an alleged $200,000 payment tied to businessman Fred Machado.
