In the midst of the controversy over the decision to change the name of the Women's Hall of the Casa Rosada hours before the feminist mobilization for 8M, the Government baptized that space as the Hall of Argentine Heroes and
hung the painting of Carlos Menem
.
The former Rioja president, whom the Government praises for considering that "his reforms led to the development of one of the greatest periods of sovereign economic prosperity ever seen in Argentina," is
the only leader of Peronist origin
in the room.
Neither Juan Domingo Perón, nor Néstor nor Cristina Kirchner.
If Menem's presence almost instantly ignited controversy on social networks, so does the absence of the presidents who represented radicalism.
Hipólito Yrigoyen is not there and neither is Raúl Alfonsín
, who led the country after the recovery of democracy in December 1983.
Among the heroes of the Government are Juan Bautista Alberdi, Julio Argentino Roca and Domingo Faustino Sarmiento.
There are also Manuel Belgrano and José de San Martín.
In the Hall of Heroes.
I prepared my whole life for this moment.

In addition to a painting with the image of Urquiza, there is also another with a photo of a tomb of unknown soldiers in the Malvinas.
