On Friday, from Rome, the entourage composed entirely of “albertist” leaders, including Martín Guzmán, will return to the country. It is the second time he has visited Europe since his assumption. The previous one was during February 2020, when the coronavirus was a distant word installed mainly in Asia and the representative had just assumed office.
