After the scandalous resignation of José Luis Espert for the case of the alleged drug trafficker Fred Machadono one saw it coming Diego Santilli would have a chance of triumphing in the legislative elections for the province of Buenos Aires. Not even him. Almost a week ago, the former Macrista leader had promised the Fat Dan that he was going to shave his head live in “La Misa”, in case he managed to obtain a victory in the votes on Sunday, October 26.
But, unexpectedly, the libertarian list headed by the “Colorado” Santilli won by almost one point over the Peronist list, led by the experienced Jorge Taiana. La Libertad Avanza obtained 41.45%, defeating Fuerza Patria, which garnered 40.92%. With these numbers, Kirchnerism lost almost 500,000 votes since the last provincial election on September 7, when it had beaten the Libertarians by almost 14 points.
On Monday afternoon, Daniel Parisini He was waiting for the elected representative, in the Carajo TV studios, with a stylist and his respective shaving machine in hand, as well as a hairdressing chair. The agreement was that both the host of the cycle and the leader had to shave their heads completely, but only the famous libertarian tweeter kept the promise. Santilli chose only to spend “the two” on his hair.
“If we turn it around, it will blow me away,” the then La Libertad Avanza candidate had promised, referring to the fact that he had to win the national election to fight back. A deal that sought to install the phrase “to vote for the red one, mark the bald one.” A nod to Espert’s baldness, who, having resigned, was still leading the libertarian segment of the single paper ballot.
Santilli’s “half-fulfilled” promise brought numerous questions with humorous tones from various journalists. “Less than 24 hours after having won, Santilli broke a record. He has already broken his only campaign promise and he hasn’t assumed yet. Do you remember that he said that ‘if he won he would fight’. That’s not fighting, you still haven’t accepted and you’re already cheating on us,” he highlighted. Juan Di Natale on his Bravo TV show.
In the Infobae streaming, before a table of journalists who consulted him on the subject, the legislator explained: “I have an operation back here,” pointing to the back of his head. Several people around the table wondered, “What’s on the back of his head, Santilli?” With some humor, in his television program, the former CQC risked that it must be a plug. It will be up to each one to imagine it.
