Only La 1 has dedicated him a ‘special’ to the Argentine elections this morning of Monday the 20th. I’m glad you did it. That’s what is expected from public television. TVE’s news line is changing for the better. Although Argentina seems very far from us, what has happened there affects us.
Lluís Guilera He was the host of this special and had the Buenos Aires native among the reviewers. Martin Caparros. He is a journalist with a long and fertile career. He knows Argentina in depth. He knows Milei well, and Massa, and Macri, and the Kirchners…, to all the rampant Peronism and anti-Peronism, and to all those who swarm around the Casa Rosada with the desire to settle there.

Martín Caparrós masterfully summarized what is happening: “It is the triumph of rage. Milei has been voted above all by those under 40 years of age. Young people who have lived in democracy all their lives, but for them it is a system with which they live poorly. In other words, they have no good reason to defend it.” It is an accurate summary. No one knew Javier Milei until the day they invited him to the América TV’s ‘late show’ ‘Loose Animals’. Its presenter, Alejandro Fantino, told Marcos López, TVE correspondent in Buenos Aires, months ago: “We were at 5% screen share. We invited Milei and we went up to 12%. From then on the other channels They said: ‘Ché, let’s bring it too.'” The program ‘Loose Animals’ stopped airing in December 2022. Shortly before, Fantino did a last interview with Milei (in the photo). There he told his way of being successful on TV: “Being surrounded by ‘panelists’ (partners) who thought differently, I had no choice but to raise the tone.” His elevation of tone consisted of acting crazy, shouting, ferocious gestures, breaking things with a hammer, shouting, insulting, extreme histrionics. And the television networks were delighted, because the audience was increasing. He already said it many years ago Sua Emmittenza Berlusconi: “Give me a television channel and I will be president of the Government.” So it was.
Let’s go back to Martín Caparrós last morning on TVE’s La 1: for young Argentines, democracy is a system in which they live badly, ‘ergo’ they have no good reason to defend it. It is a portrait as accurate as it is tremendous. Let’s take note. All. The politicians and those on TV, the first.
