We will remember you in each work you left behind, in each tree you planted, in tears and smiles from your people, who love you. See you always, beautiful genius. Thank you for so much,” he wrote on his Facebook account.

It was already a decision that Kaufmann, 80, would not seek re-election in the Upper House. As a pre-candidate to succeed him, the aforementioned son of his, Carlos, currently undersecretary of communes of the provincial government, presents himself.
