Legislator María Florencia Arietto, today aligned with Patricia Bullrich, was the target of criticism after responding in X to the campaign spot of Natalia De la Sota, candidate for national representative for Córdoba. “Do not vote for camouflaged kukas, Córdoba. With all humility and respect, a Buenos Aires native who has suffered from them for 40 years tells you this,” he wrote.. The phrase, with a challenging tone, ignited the immediate response of users.
From the @axmxox account they responded ironically: “THE QUEEN OF CAMOUFLAGE SPOKE”, accompanying the message with a video that compiles her media appearances over the years. In the montage – which combines interviews from 678, La Nación+ and Mirtha Legrand’s table – she is seen covering the entire Argentine ideological spectrum.
The clip begins with Legrand introducing her: “Arietto was an advisor to Fernando ‘Pino’ Solanas’ Proyecto Sur, she campaigned for Sergio Massa, she worked with Lilita Carrió and now with Bullrich. You are changeable, huh?” she tells him in response to his uncomfortable gesture. Then, the piece alternates phrases from different stages: “Venezuela learned from Cuba, the anti-capitalist revolution no longer exists,” he says in La Nación+. In 678, however, he defended progressive slogans: “We are moved, as Che said, by the injustice of others.”
In another section, he criticizes Kirchnerism—“project K is Chavista socialism”—and also the right: “The right does not argue.” She defines herself as part of “a broad republican umbrella.” and, in a more Peronist tone, he praises Margarita Barrientos as “the face that humanizes a PRO social policy that does not exist.” In records of 678, he even called for creating “a Ministry of Youth” and making March 24 a date to “go now for civilians and illegitimate debt.”
The video quickly went viral and revived a recurring debate: Arietto’s political versatility, that seems to have passed through all the ideological tribes of the country.
