Libertad to arrive to Mar del Plata in January, CFK

President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner announced that the ARA Libertad will arrive on January 9 to the port of Mar del Plata instead of the city of Buenos Aires as it was originally expected.

“I instructed Defence Minister Arturo Puricelli to have the Frigate Libertad arrive on January 9 to the port of Mar del Plata instead of Buenos Aires,” she said from a ceremony at the Government House.

“It will be full of tourists and they will be able to visit it, so all Argentines going to Mar del Plata will see their Frigate Liberty, which is their liberty and the liberty of all Argentines,” she concluded.
