March 21, 2013
________________________________________________________
La Casa Rosada was completely dark for 55 minutes last night.
The blackout was generated last night at the seat of government that included the presidential area, a place that has the highest level of security.
According to the Government: “The President was in the Olivos when a transformer failed. Juan Manuel Abal Medina were in the palace with Florencio Randazzo, Oscar Parrilli and Carlos Zannini. All had to leave their offices. No emergency crews worked”.
