Cristina Kirchner met Toledo in the delivery of a scholarship program for high-performance athletes. The young man also spoke in favor of his government and supported his re-election in 2011. “Thank you Braian for always carrying the Argentine flag as far as your javelin,” concluded the message the vice president posted on her social media.
In the spot called ‘Braian’s Strength’, with which Toledo supported CFK in his re-election, the young man recounted that the then president told him that when he throws the javelin he thinks that “the Argentine flag goes and takes it as far as possible”. The athlete had a deep conviction for social assistance and in 2018 it was revealed that at the same time for once again he carried his car with merchandise to distribute among those who needed it most in his neighborhood.
