The vice-president and president in charge of Venezuela, Delcy Rodríguez, moved forward with the dismantling of the so-called “Néstor Kirchner Hall” in the Miraflores Palace, a meeting room that for more than a decade functioned as a symbol of the political link between Chavism and Kirchnerism.
The measure involved the removal of images, objects and references to the former Argentine president, modifying one of the most representative internal spaces of that phase of alignment between Caracas and Buenos Aires. According to official records released by the Venezuelan government itself, the room stopped displaying portraits, phrases and elements linked to Kirchner that had remained there
until the end of 2025.
The space was inaugurated on December 1, 2011, as part of an official visit by Cristina Fernández de Kirchner to Venezuela. On that day, the then Argentine president held a bilateral meeting with Hugo Chávez at the Miraflores Palace, after which both led the opening ceremony of the hall
.During that ceremony, Chávez vindicated the figure of the former Argentine president and celebrated the gesture as part of the political relationship between the two governments. For his part, Fernández de Kirchner thanked the tribute and defined it as a sign of recognition, highlighting the symbolic burden of space inside the headquarters of the Venezuelan Executive
