Regarding the tribute, the writer pointed out that “it was a very nice act” and was attended by “many people from the neighborhood.”
“Every time we present the book, we project a very exciting video of Nestor,” he explained.

The text involves “my stories with Néstor, which started with the mayoral campaign in 1987.”
“We made a choir of stories from Néstor. There is one from Pope Francis, young people like “Wado” from Pedro (Minister of the Interior), El Cuervo (Larroque, Minister of Development of the Buenos Aires Community), a number of colleagues who tell their experiences about Néstor”, he explained.
