The Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti, and the presidential advisor Cecilia Nicolini are in Havana, Cuba, to advance a collaboration agreement for the production in Argentina of the vaccine against the coronavirus that is developed on the island.
But the head of the sanitary portfolio and the adviser to the president also took advantage of their free time and outside the official agenda to visit a cultural center that is coordinated by the
niece of Mario Santucho, the leader of the People's Revolutionary Army (ERP)
who was assassinated in July 1976 by a task force of the Government of Jorge Rafael Videla.
Vizzotti and Nicolini were at the Pablo de la Torriente Brau Cultural Center and there they photographed themselves with María Santucho, who took a selfie wearing the green scarf that was an emblem during the claim for the decriminalization of abortion as a mask.

María Santucho has lived in Havana since she was 15 years old, when she went into exile with her family.
"We were very happy that the presidential advisor Cecilia Nicolini and the Argentine health minister Carla Vizzotti found a warm and fraternal moment to visit and get to know the Pablo Center and its main cultural projects. Long live the Latin American brotherhood!", Víctor Casaus wrote on Facebook , who is the director of the cultural center located in the historic center of the Cuban capital.
The niece of the former leader of the ERP actively participates in politics from her social networks.
Days ago, in one of his latest publications, he shared a flag that says "resist like Palestine, fight like Colombia and vote like Chile."
The Argentine officials arrived in Havana on Thursday "to learn from the Cuban health authorities and researchers about the progress in the development of the Abdala and Soberana vaccines," the Health Minister explained from her Twitter account.
From that social network, he celebrated this Saturday that "the first vaccine developed and produced in Latin America is advancing."
He did so by publishing a photo with Nicolini, both with protective caps and showing doses of the vaccines that Cuba develops.
The agreement with Cuba
Vizzoti said from the Cuban capital that with the authorities of that country they spoke "of the common project and of working not only to value a fully developed, produced and applied vaccine in Latin America, but also to do so in other axes of what is health and science and technology ".
Through a press release, Vizzotti said that "they are working hard to strengthen ties, access the vaccine, but above all collaborate in everything they can, both from the provision of inputs, the possibility of purchase and support to scale production. "
He also referred to the possibility of "advancing with our regulatory entity and that of Cuba to study the interim analyzes of Phase 3 and expand the possibility of research in scenarios such as our country, which can also give a very interesting role to the vaccine."
