From Maru Botana to Luis D’Elía: the children of celebrities also emigrate

There are many young people who decide to try their luck abroad, and the case of celebrities is no exception. From drivers to political figures, many are the ones who must say goodbye to their children to see them go to conquer their dreams.

In the last few days, many were astonished by the news: Lucia Soládaughter of the driver Maru Snackis living in Hawaii where she works as a maid for $40 an hour. “In my life I always wanted to raise strong, independent and happy children,” Botana told the radio program “If it happens, it happens”of Radio Rivadavia.

There he explained that his daughter, who is studying the career of Graphic Design at the UBA, will be in the US islands, in principle, four months, and that she made the decision after visiting the site with friends last year: she fell in love with the place. Too Agustinanother of the seven children in the family, had his experience living in Belgium and then in Barcelonajust during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although Botana chooses to make the decision of “Luchi” wisely, it is not so easy for others. Beto Casellaalso a driver, suffered a lot when in 2021 his son Franco announced that he was emigrating to USA. The young man has a degree in Biology, but his passion for music and the radio led him to work with his father several times, such as on Bendita TV, the classic that Casella has hosted for years on El Nueve.

“I have no way of motivating my son, Franco, he plans to go try his luck abroad. It breaks my heart”, the driver declared at the time in “Los Ángeles de la Mañana”. “In this you also have to wish him well and ask him how you can help him. Intimately I think that if he went to therapy, and the therapist scratches me a bit, I want him to be deported after a month and sent back, ”he added sincerely.

Also in 2021, another driver narrated the story of how his son left the family nest: Julian Weich. At the age of 19, his son Jerónimo decided to go backpacking to the north, and what at first seemed like a temporary adventure became something permanent: from the north of the country he went to live in Mexicoand then to be a citizen everywhere.

“He began to evolve his journey with an internal search. At first he was exploring and, suddenly, it became one of self-knowledge because he began to live that journey as something spiritual. He learned to juggle and he is the typical one you see and ask him where he is from and he answers: ‘From Venezuela, Colombia, Argentina‘. He lives like this, he juggles and with that he gets the money and lives where he wants and how he wants, ”Weich told Podemos Hablar.

But there are not only examples from the world of entertainment and television. Political figures must also learn to get used to the “empty nest”: the social leader Luis D´Elia has a daughter living in Estonia. This is Anahí Ayelén D’Elía, a former worker at ANSES, who married an Estonian there, Mikhel Kahebatsand went to live in the Baltic country that borders Russia.

From there, Anahí counted in 2022 to “Radio with you” about the “terror” with which Russian citizens live the invasion of the President’s Army Vladimir Putin a Ukraine, and assured that “there is a lot of fear of demonstrating” in society. “Many of the same Russians who live here, who are my dad’s generation, are against Putin and this invasion because they respect the Ukrainian people and because they understand that Ukraine is an independent country.”

Of course, the desire to live transcendent experiences, such as visiting an exotic country or changing your lifestyle, are not the only reasons for emigration of young people: the high cost of living, economic ups and downs, insecurity and political instability tend to be factors that promote going in search of a life more in line with one’s own expectations.

This is what he referred to in 2022 Jorge Yoma, another character of Argentine politics. The former senator from La Rioja lamented through a thread on his Twitter account because his two children emigrated abroad. “This business of going to Ezeiza to say goodbye to children is getting tired of me. Let’s see if we can fix this blessed country (…) “The massive emigration of talented young people is one of the great tragedies that will impact the future of the country and several generations of Argentines… The world is warning us,” said the former official in the little bird network.
