A strong public confrontation broke out on social networks between Eduardo Feinmann and Marcela Feudale following a version about the origin of the fires that affect the province of Chubut. The journalist accused the presenter of having spread false and anti-Semitic information, while she rejected the accusation and apologized for any possible misinterpretation of her words.
The conflict began when Feinmann published a message on his In the same post, the journalist described the comment as “liar and anti-Israel, anti-Jew and anti-Semitic.”
Feudale’s response did not take long to arrive. Also through X, the speaker flatly rejected any accusation of discrimination. “Do I discriminate, Feinmann? You know perfectly well that I don’t. There is no discriminatory spirit in me,” he said, and attributed the controversy to the climate of tension and confusion surrounding the issue.
Feudale also explained that his on-air intervention was based on information from a source that, he acknowledged, could have been erroneous. “I was only talking about the possible commission of a crime without any ulterior motive,” he said, adding that, if his statements gave rise to another interpretation, it was appropriate to apologize. “Which doesn’t bother me at all,” he concluded, in a conciliatory tone.
The exchange is part of a context of high political and social sensitivity, crossed by the fires in Patagonia, the circulation of unconfirmed versions and a climate of polarization that amplifies each public statement. The crossover between Feinmann and Feudale once again brought to the fore the debate on the responsibility of communicators and the impact of the information disseminated in crisis situations.
