The meat businessman albert samid tweeted yesterday against the journalist from LN+, Jonathan Viale. In his editorial, Viale had put a photo where Samid appeared together with characters close to Kirchnerism, such as July De Vidoone of those involved in the trial for the Cause road. The image in which they all appeared recreated the painting “The Last Supper”, with everyone around Cristina Kirchner, who was in place of Jesus. And the accompanying graph titled “the twelve apostles of corruption.” Alberto Samid’s reaction was immediate and his tweet was a trend:

“The corrective I am referring to is that someone has to call their attention, do not interpret anything else,” he explained. Samid to NEWS. “It puts me next to the twelve apostles when I was never part of the National government I have nothing to do with it. And he says that I evaded taxes when there is no final sentence, that has to be done in any case by justice, ”recriminated the businessman, referring to the charges he had to face for tax evasion in the 90’s. And he added: “Besides, this boy cannot say the things he says about the president, in no country in the world is the presidential investiture disrespected like this.”
Samid vs. Viale: part two?
The episode seems to continue the confrontation that samid knew how to have with another Viale: the driver Mauro VialeJonathan’s father. Twenty years ago, both starred in one of the most iconic moments on Argentine television, which to this day continues to generate laughter, memes and even merchandising. It was in 2002, when Samid was invited to the program “Impact at 12”, hosted by Viale.
At that time, Argentina was still in a complex economic moment, and Samid and Viale began a discussion about the direction of the economy, which grew in intensity. “Tell me what your name is. I don’t know what your name is,” Samid launched at one point, referring to the fact that “Mauro Viale” was not the driver’s real name but a pseudonym. Viale attacked putting on the table the accusation against Samid for tax evasion. “Pay the taxes, stop screwing around,” Viale told him.
Later, Viale pronounced the phrase that triggered the final reaction: “Did you endorse the bomb to the AMIA?” “You have to repent of what you said, you can’t say such a barbarity,” Samid attacked. And both went to blows on camera.
