The paintings of the Latin American Patriots have returned to their original location in the Casa Rosada, along with the paintings of Belgrano and San Martín. The discovery by a user on social media has sparked curiosity and political reflections among citizens. The debate centered on the possible lack of knowledge about the presidential building and the political decisions that have affected its structure over the years.
"I have a completely unnecessary amount of information about the Casa Rosada, but this demonstrates one thing: if you know a lot about something, they can't take advantage of you. It is possible that the wind opened the shutters that should be fixed," expressed the user who discovered the modifications in the Casa Rosada.
The Casa Rosada has undergone various reforms depending on each government's management, with one of the most recent changes being the boarded-up windows in the smaller frames of the south front of the building, a detail that went unnoticed for years but has now caught the attention of hundreds of users. There has been speculation about the origin of these modifications, attributing their implementation to the administration of Mauricio Macri.
During Macri's administration, the presidential office was modified to turn it into a functional workspace rather than a museum. Paintings of heroes like Belgrano and San Martín were sent to the government house museum, which generated criticism from the community. The reforms in the Casa Rosada included changes to the internal and external ornamentation of the building, as well as the restoration of historic offices as part of the "Master Plan" resumed by the government of Alberto Fernández.
The user who brought these modifications to light emphasized that the boarded-up windows in the smaller frames correspond to two internal courtyards of the government house: the Malvinas Courtyard and the Well Courtyard. These changes have been a subject of debate and criticism towards the decisions of different governments that have intervened in the Casa Rosada.
