The wake of Carlos Indio Solari drew a million people in Avellaneda, with 500 thousand entering the funeral chapel. Security Minister Alejandra Monteoliva defended the organization led by the province of Buenos Aires.
The wake took place in Avellaneda following the musician's death. Monteoliva explained it could not be held in closed spaces such as Congress due to the large number of expected attendees. The minister called it ridiculous to think there was an ideological criterion in the decision. She said the government proposed Tecnópolis for access reasons and that the province organized the event appropriately. Monteoliva noted the event ended without incidents and that the chosen location proved suitable for gathering so many people.
