After noon, when Alberto Fernández returned to the Casa Rosada from the event in Ezeiza, the Government
claimed to have no indications if Cristina would finally say present
at the Kirchner Cultural Center at the act of this Tuesday planned to pay tribute to Néstor Kirchner ten years after his death.
From the Senate everything was secretive and not even the main collaborators of the vice president were encouraged to confirm or rule out her attendance.
Until around 4 p.m. he confirmed that he will not participate in the tribute
.
What is assured in the former Post Office building is the discovery of the statue, which
was taken very early this Monday after being restored
and was already installed in the central hall, pending the act.
The sculpture with the figure of the former president, the work of the artist
Miguel Gerónimo Villalba
and with an estimated cost of 114 thousand dollars, was donated in 2014 by Argentina to Unasur and was installed in the general secretariat of that organization in Quito until it was removed. by the government of Lenin Moreno.
"We were concerned that she would be left behind somewhere in Ecuador," admitted Alberto F. days ago, who ordered the steps to repatriate her.
The process to recover this bronze work of 2.28 meters high and weighing 600 kilos, was in charge of Matías Capeluto, head of Casa Patria Grande Presidente Néstor Kirchner, an organization under the orbit of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, that after an arduous period, which was delayed by the pandemic, this month it was returned.
In time for the act, the statue was restored and since Monday it is part of the CCK.

After Cristina's decision, it is not clear who will accompany the President in the discovery of the sculpture.
That place was reserved - and so it was thought to do "until the last moment" - for Cristina, but the vice anticipated through social networks that it will not be part of the game.
“As everyone knows, I do not attend public activities or tributes that have to do with that October 27th.
Perhaps it is an unconscious mechanism of non-acceptance in the face of the irreversible.
I don't know ... You know that psychology is not my strong suit.
But it also turns out that tomorrow also marks one year of the electoral triumph of the Frente de Todos.
How incredible, no?
That the presidential election in which we won again coincided exactly with October 27.
Licenses that history takes ”, wrote Cristina.
From their environment they indicated to this newspaper that it was the confirmation that this tenth anniversary will not be the exception in their routine.
"You do not need to notify," assured the President's collaborators.
The Secretary General of the Presidency, Julio Vitobello, in charge of organizing all the events involving his friend Fernández, received no response to the invitation extended from his area.
Thus, the joint photo that had been pending due to the lack of Cristina, first in the presentation of the book "Néstor, the man who changed everything", compiled by Jorge "Topo" Devoto, and then in the act of 17O for the Day of the Peronist Loyalty in the CGT;
It will not crystallize this Tuesday either.
Although
in La Rosada they do not make a political reading on this issue
, they admit that a public meeting of both would serve to relaunch the management that the Government tries to translate into this virtual post-pandemic stage.
The statue of Néstor Kirchner, upon arriving at the CCK, this Monday very early.
Especially because in the middle versions began to emerge - which the Government attributed to the opposition, but also to some "wounded" of their own - that Cristina would not be satisfied with the direction of the Fernández administration.
"It is all a lie, they speak every day, it is all an invention,
" they reaffirm close to the President.
On each anniversary of the death of Néstor Kirchner, Cristina secluded herself in the privacy of the South or with her family in her apartment in the City.
However,
it will not be the party in the caravan of the "Thousand Flowers"
, organized by La Cámpora and other militant sectors starting at 6 pm in the Plaza de Mayo, in the City of Buenos Aires;
and in squares throughout the country.
"With cars, in family groups and with social distancing", is the order of the convocation that seeks to avoid reproaches to the health strategy promoted by the Government against the advance of the coronavirus.
The youth group founded by Máximo Kirchner promotes "filling the streets with the image" of the former President, for which it organizes the distribution of posters with his figure.
In the previous one, in the countdown to the tribute, the idea of the organizers is that allusive images and messages are projected, in buildings and emblematic places of more than 100 towns.
