On LN+ they pressed Minister Cúneo Libarona live by Juan Grabois

The “disagreement” arose as a result of the hearing in the Federal Chamber of Comodoro Py, which caused an overreacted stir in the corporate media.

THE TONE OF JUAN GRABOIS

The origin of the conflict dates back to the hearing where the legal undersecretary of the Ministry of Human Capital provoked the social leader and leader of the Movement of Excluded Workers Juan Grabois, who had denounced the illegal collection of food that should be distributed to community kitchens, a situation that provoked a strong reaction both inside and outside the judicial sphere.

During the program, Rossi directly accused Cúneo Libarona of not flinching at the opposition leader’s actions in front of the magistrates, whom he mistreated and dominated, according to Rossi, and which unleashed a verbal confrontation that left viewers stunned. The journalist, known for his imperative style of permanent indignation, did not hesitate to “put points” to the minister, who tried to soften the events that occurred at the hearing.

THE TONE OF PABLO ROSSI

“Do you, as the nation’s minister of justice, think that this is the level that justice should have?… I applaud you. My opinion is absolutely the opposite. And I’ll tell you something: If investors are looking at what is happening in the Supreme Court of Justice, they are looking at legal certainty, they are seeing that the government has not yet been able to obtain the law bases, of course it is not the government’s fault, It is guilt in opposition. Argentina is a failed country (sic) where everyone has to set an example, from the president to the judges. If you endorse, as Minister of Justice, what happened today, it seems to me that it is a very serious mistake.“Rossi snapped.

The live discussion reflected the anti-journalistic stance of Rossi, who usually escapes from his role to position himself as an advisor or “spiritual guide to officials”, marking to them ‘what is right and what is wrong’, almost like a pair of politicians, more than asking questions.

Pablo Rossi argued that the judges’ conduct was indefensible because they allowed themselves to be mistreated by Grabois while Cúneo Libarona tried to calm the waters, arguing that the incident had been exaggerated by the media and that it did not reflect the totality of the facts, in addition to comparing the situation with international cases in the United States and France with altered attitudes of the parties in dispute, very similar to those observed in Comodoro Py’s video.

Rossi’s intervention revealed a growing distrust in the actions of the Ministry of Justice and in its ability to manage delicate situations impartially, something that can also be heard behind the scenes in Mauricio Macri’s PRO.

MORE THAN A SCALING, A SQUEEZE

The confrontation between Cúneo Libarona and Rossi exposed the role of corporate media as biased arbiters in public debates.

The ability of a journalist to challenge a high-ranking official on air reflects a “guarded democracy,” and raises questions about the nature of those charged with providing information and the influence of the media on public opinion, to the point of seeming more powerful than officials.
