Maradona’s family wants to finish waking up at 4 in the afternoon and creates an impasse with the government, which it wants to prolong

Maradona’s family wants the funeral at Casa Rosada to end at 4:00 p.m., so that the player’s body can be buried this Thursday 26. But the crowd that continues to arrive worries the authorities, who want to extend the farewell. The information was released by Clarín, an important Argentine newspaper.

The government’s concern is precisely with the people who have waited hours in the Plaza de Mayo and will not be able to see the body until 4 in the afternoon. Closing the doors can mean widespread confusion, something the police prefer to avoid. Officially, it is still said that the wake will end even at 4pm.

The wake doors officially opened shortly after 6 a.m. Due to the massive attendance of fans, the police installed two cordons and used tear gas to contain early confusion.

The movement continues intense around the place. Boca Juniors jerseys are the majority among the fans present. Some more excited fans stop crying in front of the coffin, but the security guards tell them not to stay there for long. The player’s family and close friends had a private ceremony earlier.
