Edward Feinman crossed to Ophelia Fernandez for sharing images of some sandwiches that, according to her, were the food that the students of the City received. However, the journalist showed that the photos used by the legislator from the Frente de Todos were from 2018 and from a school in the Province of Buenos Aires, when the governor was María Eugenia Vidal.

Today in kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, food is intoxicating and of poor quality. There is a business with canteens and food that starves those who are able to eat their only meal of the day at school pic.twitter.com/7vbTYYfNEm

The controversy originated in April, when Fernández had tweeted a video questioning the food received by students in City government schools. “In secondary schools, popsicle and cheese sandwiches are literally given every day,” the young legislator said in the video, showing the images. And she claimed that this was the result of a million dollar deal between the Buenos Aires government and the chosen service providers.
In his program, Feinmann also exposed another tweet from another legislator K, Mary Bielli, who had also shared the same image. And she retorted: “Where does this photo of Maru Bielli come from? (…) It comes from the page of Berisso Ciudad”. The page to which the journalist referred is a medium from that Buenos Aires town, and the note that contained the same image exposed by the K legislators illustrated a note from 2018 entitled ‘Concern over SAE sandwich in possible bad condition’.
“What is the SAE? The SAE is the School Food Service of the Province of Buenos Aires, which sends the food with this crap,” the driver continued his presentation. “Berisso’s own page denounces this crap, that now with that busy photo from there they make it pass as the food of the City of Buenos Aires, to justify that the students are taking the school because they give them shit to eat, and hungry you can’t study,” he added, referring to the school takeovers.
The date on which the note was published in the Berisso medium is 2018, the year in which the Buenos Aires governor was María Eugenia Vidal. At that time, teachers and assistants from different educational establishments in that town had expressed their concern about the poor condition of the food that arrived at Secondary Schools No. 1, No. 12, and No. 13.
One of those who came out at the crossroads of the accusations was the deputy of Together for Change Alexander Finocchiaro. “I know the City of Buenos Aires perfectly, and the food system, which is good. If that were the issue, the same political organization (La Cámpora) should take over the schools in the province and that does not happen. When you cross General Paz the boys supposedly eat better, but it’s not like that, they eat worse,” retorted the deputy in a radio interview with FM Delta.
