The event, held at the Palacio Legislativo, was led by Vice President Victoria Villarruel and organized by the Senate's Malvinas Gesta Directorate.

During the ceremony, several individuals and organizations received the “Gesta de Malvinas” honorary mentions for their contributions to the defense and dissemination of the Malvinas cause.
