Minister of Security Alejandra Monteoliva spoke for the first time about the situation of Nahuel Gallo, the gendarme who was detained for over a year in Venezuela, and said that "there was a great expectation and this morning we lived a very emotional moment." "What is important is not who put the plane, but that Nahuel is home. Also, he came back in uniform. It is a difficult process," she affirmed. In statements to Radio Rivadavia, the official specified that the Government worked "every day and on all fronts for the liberation of Nahuel," but clarified that under the management of the ousted Nicolás Maduro there was "the intention to hand Nahuel over to us." Regarding the role of the AFA, objected to by the Casa Rosada, she said that "evidently there were agreements and approaches" and admitted that they did not have clear information on the roadmap of the national sports entity, by stating that "we did not have information of an AFA negotiation." "What is important is that he is here and he is whole. The Argentine State carried out the diplomatic efforts; both (Pablo) Quirno, I, Patricia Bullrich," she insisted. On the other hand, she ruled out that the Government found out "through the media" although she confessed at the same time that she had no knowledge that the gendarme was going to board an AFA plane to return to Argentina.
