In the first week of 2021, the first scandal has already erupted: Victoria Donda was denounced by offer a position at INADI to your domestic employee. The head of the agency first spoke of “rumors and transcendent” through her Twitter account but then ended up stating that “she only wanted to help a person in a vulnerable situation.”
A slip that anyone commits, obviously, since it was confirmed in office by himself Alberto Fernandez. Four months later, INADI would be news again for an image published on Instagram what did he say: “Families: If the school presses to return to the presence or if it does not guarantee virtual classes, you can call 168”. New scandal.
“We have the curse of exporting food ” the national deputy wrote on her Twitter account Fernanda vallejos placeholder image on January 13, citing an interview he had given for El Uncover. Immediately, your last name became a trend, a story that was repeated when an audio in which he harshly criticized Alberto Fernández went viral: “The guy is entrenched in Casa Rosada.”
The account of Dylan’s Instagram, the presidential dog, also created a lot of buzz in early 2021. A picture of Alberto Fernandez with Dylan in the presidential helicopter what did he say: “Alberto took me to fly by helicopter for the first time. We went to Chapadmalal. It will also be the first time I have seen the sea! “.
A similar image was also posted on the profile of Fabiola Yañez. Faced with the wave of criticism she received, the first lady came out to respond to different users impulsively with phrases such as “What you say is inhuman”, “If you woke up wanting to write, I wrote something more productive.”
Yañez It would be news again, the scandal of the year, when the photo of his 2020 birthday celebration at Quinta de Olivos was released, in times of social isolation and with the president by his side. Since then, she has not made any publications until the news of her pregnancy was known.
During the year there were also different crossovers between politicians and celebrities. Fernando Iglesias placeholder image, the deputy of Together for Change who this year renewed his bench, in addition to fighting almost daily with Aníbal Fernández, now Minister of National Security, also quarreled with Luciana Salazar.
“If it was very smart, don’t worry. They didn’t talk about you, Luciana ”, The deputy shot loudly before a publication of the model who quickly replied: “How my tweets turn you on Fernandito. That a deputy as mediocre as you underestimate me is a compliment. Tell me silly that turns me on “.
Another fight was that of Sergio berni (another that sharpens the plugs on Twitter quite often) vs. Florencio Randazzo: “You could be Governor and fix those problems, but you infatuated. You thought of yourself and not of these things “Berni shot. But none as commented as the cross between comedian Nik and Aníbal Fernández who, already as Minister of National Security, made an unhappy comment about his children and the school they attend.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Macri He returned to the ring participating in a Zoom Together for Change. But the image quickly went viral on Twitter since the former president was participating in the video call from his bed, with Juliana Awada beside. So pandemic That was a bit sad.
The controversy over the face-to-face classes also generated debate. The then Minister of Education of the Nation, Nicolas Trotta, had published on his Twitter account: “What allows the school to remain a low-risk place are the strict protocols that we have federally approved” thus endorsing the continuity of the opening of schools. Only 4 hours later from that tweet, Alberto Fernández suspended face-to-face classes.
When the judiciary ruled in favor of the City of Buenos Aires, preventing the closure of schools, a curious tweet was published from the account of the Ministry of National Security: “Legal boogeyman“. Quickly, the apologies came from the same profile: “Due to an involuntary error, a personal tweet was published on the institutional account of the Ministry. The corresponding measures have been taken. We apologize for the case ”.
The INADI or the Ministry of Security were not the only institutional accounts that had strange publications. The Twitter profile of central bank, for example, he quarreled with the radical leader Alfredo Cornejo accusing him that “He is not aware of the operation of the financial system”.
Too the official account of the Argentine Chancellery spoke of “Disproportionate use of force” by Israel in conflict with Palestine. Or the profile of the Ministry of Justice of the Nation that wanted to honor Juan Domingo Peron, but got confused with your date of birth: put October 8, 1985, instead of 1895. Or the account of Pink House which published that the president had met with the advisor to the UN secretary general on financial inclusion, ignoring a small detail: that “the advisor” was nothing more and nothing less than Queen Maxima of the Netherlands.
Yet another case: in December the account of the culture Ministry de la Nación wrote about Jose Pablo Feinmann, recently deceased, with several spelling errors: “With a vast bibliography, he not only wrote about philosophy and history, but also about music, cinema and many other subjects that make up our culture.”
Sabina frederic She was also in the eye of the storm when she said, still as Minister of National Security later succeeded by Aníbal Fernández: “Switzerland is quieter, but more boring“. The phrase generated, among hundreds of thousands, the ironic response of Heinrich Schellenberg, the Swiss ambassador to Argentina, who posted on his Twitter account a video with Roger Federer and Robert De Niro as protagonists.
That was not the only ambassador who ran from the diplomatic code to meet an Argentine official. In November, the German ambassador Urlich sante got mad at Axel Kicillof and with Pablo López, Minister of Finance and Finance of the Province of Buenos Aires: “Officialism? Absent. @Kicillofok did not answer, @PabloJ_LopezOK did not appear. Lack of courtesy? The organisation? Disinterest? A bit of everything”.
But without a doubt that one of the phrases that transcended the most in 2021 was the one he said Alberto Fernandez with his Spanish counterpart by his side, Pedro Sanchez: “LThe Mexicans came out of the Indians, the Brazilians came out of the jungle, but we Argentines arrived from the boats“. Countless memes were published everywhere and even the President himself had to apologize twice from his Twitter profile.
And we cannot leave out of this column the “hacksThat happened to different accounts. In April, the news agency Telam responded to a C5N tweet about Alberto Fernández and Horacio Rodríguez Larreta: “Who is going to control ???? You don’t control your penis, except for a pandemic Ahhhhhh sorry I thought you were talking about a model “.
Then the apologies: “Due to improper posting from this account, we are investigating the incident that occurred. We have evidence of being hacked. We are waiting for the information security report “. Same luck ran Mario Negri when suddenly one night he started posting phrases like “Wine and pills“,” Macri 2023 !!! Lefties die !!! ”.
And to close, I review some digital curiosities, such as the change of Maria Eugenia Vidal that overnight removed from his Twitter biography the “proudly from Buenos Aires”To later run for the City of Buenos Aires; the campaign launch of Together for Change in the province of Buenos Aires, publishing all referents of space one hair image of Diego Santilli, something filobizarro.
Pedro’s Wado, Minister of the Interior of the Nation, wrote an outraged tweet about a meme that said “In Argentina he worked as a cardinal. He went to Europe and now he is Pope“; the discharge of Nicolas del Caño from his Twitter account that he later deleted: “What an asshole Mieli is”; the answer of Matias Tombolini, vice president of Banco Nación to a user while playing a River game and referring to the restriction on the purchase of tickets: “Gaaaaaaaal in installments. Yeah, you wanted quotas there you have 3. Besis ”.
And the reappearance of the former chief of staff, Marcos Peña, who tweeted again in December after two years without doing so to share a report he had been working on that sparked outrage from Jose Luis Espert: “What a kick in the fret you have to give yourself useless squirt good for nothing. Take them “. This is how 2021 passed through Twitter and other social networks. With crosses, chicanes and fights, but without any proposal, as Argentine politics has us accustomed to.
