Vice President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner received the elected vice president of Colombia, France Marquez Mina, who is touring South American countries. Gustavo Petro’s running mate also will attend Casa Rosada to hold a meeting with President Alberto Fernández at 4:00 p.m..
The former president shared a photo of the meeting with Márquez on her social networks and wrote: “Just with @FranciaMarquezM, elected vice president of Colombia. The task ahead: regional integration and construction of peace and equality. A common gender agenda”.
Despite having been an active part of the changes in the Government Cabinet, the vice president keeps a low profile and carries out her own agenda in Congress. After noon, she received her new pair from Colombia, with whom spoke on issues related to regional integration.
