Minutes before the start of the debate on judicial reform, the Senate of the Nation had a surprise visit, that of Marcos "El Chino" Maidana.
The boxer from the Santa Fe city of Margarita was photographed on the premises and was even meeting with the vice president and head of the upper house, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Maidana himself shared the photographs of his tour inside the Congress on Instagram, although he later deleted them. In the images you can see without a chinstrap , like Cristina, as is usual in her.
Chino Maidana was photographed in the Senate.
A short video of the meeting between the two also circulated on networks. How old are you already? By God, there can't be people that young. It took him 30 years ”, the former president is heard joking that, although he kept his distance, then he ends up passing in front of him a few centimeters.

- A la Vera del Ring (@alaveradelring) August 27, 2020Maidana's visit to the Senate generates some controversy since, given the risk of contagion of coronavirus, the ruling party rejected the opposition's claim to reopen the venue to debate the judicial reform in person and not remotely, as it finally happened.
Maidana, who met in 2014 with the then President after her fight with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas, had indicated last September that she was going to join the government of Alberto Fernández in the face of a future electoral victory.
"I'm going to be secretary of Sports, that's what they promised, " he launched at that time, although that promise was not fulfilled in the end. The position was in the hands of former Leona Inés Arrondo.
He also said that he had "everything arranged" with Alberto Fernández to transmit through Public TV the fights organized by his company "Chino Maidana Promotions". "We are waiting for the government to change," he said.
