Vice President Cristina Kirchner was accompanied by her children and her sister-in-law. Former President Néstor Fernández was absent from the event.

He was accused of being a collaborator of the former president, who was killed in a plane crash in 1998. The former president's widow, Beatrice, was also in attendance, along with her son and his wife, both of whom are still living in the U.S., and their children. The event took place in front of a crowd of thousands of people.
