National Chamber deputy Marcela Pagano attacked the government on Monday by asserting that it never made 'formal requests' to Venezuela to demand the release of gendarme Nahuel Gallo. Pagano stated that the Argentine Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not take official steps for his release, which was achieved through 'parliamentary diplomacy' and the support of the AFA, as learned from the Noticias Argentinas agency. In this context, the deputy accused the government of trying to politically capitalize on an incident in which, according to her, they had no real participation. 'Executive officials were aware of alternative routes for his repatriation. Our efforts began two months ago, ever since Nicolas Maduro fell, this issue had been worked on. Happy, emotional.'
