This Saturday night, the new Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos, was one of the guests at Mirtha Legrand’s table. True to her style, the diva did not let much time pass from the beginning of her program La Noche de Mirtha (El Trece), before surprising those present.
“Why does the President say so many bad words,” was Mirtha’s incisive question, which left Francos speechless at first.
“Why so much swearing? Why? “Insisted the TV diva, with the complicity of some of her guests and despite showing an alleged hint of shame after expressing those words, covering her face with a napkin.
“Well, it’s his personality,” the official managed to respond, but Mirtha interceded again. “But he is the President, he says terrible things,” she replied, with a mischievous smile on her face.
Mirtha Legrand’s question that confused Guillermo Francos
After this, the recently appointed successor of Nicolás Posse began his second attempt at a response: “Javier Milei is a disruptive president in Argentina, he was elected that way. “He has very young followers,” he noted.
On this point, Mirtha added: “Young people follow him a lot, from all countries.” “The location that Argentina’s Milei generated in the world is impressive,” responded one of the most important officials of the libertarian administration.
For his part, Adrián Ventura, another of the members of the table along with his colleague Laura Di Marco and the writer Daniel Balmaceda, tried to “take up Mirtha’s bad words.”
“Beyond that, (Milei) is very popular, he won the election, he is governing the macro well. So, does it make sense for him to continue campaigning with that at times so aggressive and strong populist speech, instead of lowering his tone?” the journalist questioned.
Immediately afterwards, Legrand came out in defense of the president. “They also attack him a lot,” he said. Francos, for his part, reiterated: “They are personalities.”
“The President faced a very difficult fight against a serious populist conception in Argentina, a statist one, that has harmed our country for decades. After living these 40 years of democracy one says ‘what do we rescue?’”, he asserted.
“Something for which Argentines fought so hard was to recover democracy and freedoms, it turned out that we could not demonstrate over time that it is good to live in democracy, but that its results for the people were not what people expected,” he concluded. .
