The newspaper had a close relation with the governments of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner, and received huge amounts of state advertising as a result. Cristina Kirchner made a speech during the 25th anniversary of the foundation of the newspaper in 2012, praising the editorial line, journalists and authorities. She said that "there is a true cultural battle. We'll keep fighting in all fields, and Página/12 too. They will only defeat us when we cease to fight". She made reference to a conspiracy theory, frequent in the "Relato K", that considers that the Kirchners were attacked by a cabal of hegemonic groups.
