While the controversy continues on paper, Suárez Salvia sent this text to Faurie:

"Minister:

I am writing to you about the unfortunate events that occurred on the occasion of the official welcoming ceremony in the country of Their Majesties the King and Queen of Spain on the night of March 24, 2019.

In this regard and as everyone knows, after the arrival of the real plane in Aeroparque Military Aerospace – AM -, Their Majesties Kings and their delegation saw their descent from the plane excessively delayed. The stairs provided by the company under contract with the Spanish government as responsible for providing the ramp service were not adapted to the model of the plane that was carrying the royal couple and his entourage.

For this reason and in a hurry to find a quick solution to such unforeseen events, the National Ceremonies Directorate team, jointly with the WADA authorities, began to make arrangements with the Ceremonies Branch and the Air Association of the Presidency of the country. in order to obtain permission to use the staircase of the presidential plane. After a few minutes, with the collaboration and solidarity of the Presidency of the Nation, it was possible to use the staircase of the presidential fleet, thus allowing the descent on the trail of Their Majesties the King and Queen of France. Spain and their Comitiva.

The National Ceremonies Branch, committed to the foreign policy objectives set by the national executive, provides a satisfactory proof of accountability and probity, as evidenced by the many successful visits of foreign authorities to the country. He has also collaborated in the organization of important international meetings headquartered in Argentina, including the XI WTO Ministerial Conference, the G20 Summit and the Second United Nations Conference on Human Rights. South-South cooperation. to name a few.

The imponderable describes ut supra Their Majesties the King and the Queen of Spain and their delegation are not attributable to any action or omission on the part of the National Ceremonial Directorate or any of its members, but in so far as where it is a misfortune in the context of a state visit, I consider it my duty to resign from my post at the office with which I will be honored by appointing me by Decree 878 of October 30, 2017.
