“Let’s not let ourselves be carried away by this discourse that wants to be installed that there is a sector that is very peaceful, that only thinks of the other and sometimes cries on camera, because the only thing they want is for us all to be happy. In front, there are the bad ones, the sons of bitches, who only want to see the poor die, the old too, and no one study,” he said. Santiago Maratea on the Olga streaming platform.
With his usual histrionics, the influencer of the solidarity campaigns made known his political vision in favor of the Government. In the cycle driven by Nati Jotathe thirty-year-old denied police repression against retirees in successive Wednesday marches. Given these statements, the columnist Agos Palazzolo He reproached him: “The police hit retirees and you can see that. It’s not something that is invented or that we imagine it.”
“They are starving them. A retiree earns two hundred lucas per month,” highlighted the streamer panelist. But Maratea questioned: “How much did he earn before and why did no one support that retiree?”, and concluded: “Now there is an organization, precisely, that is used politically.” This position of the influencer supporting the management of Javier Milei and pointing against the opposition was not an isolated event.
A few days ago, before the legislative elections on Sunday, from his Instagram account he came out to support the libertarian government. “First, I say that I banked Milei for years and everyone knows it. Second, if they stop following me or cancel me for exposing my political position or my political inclination, it sucks two balls,” stressed the influencer with his bare torso.
And using libertarian jargon, the young man concluded: “I think that part of the cultural battle is that everyone can say who they support. If I support the ideas of freedom, I can say it calmly. There is something installed between influencers and streaming channels that you can say openly everything that you support about Kirchnerism or Peronism, but you cannot say when you support the ideas of freedom.”
Maratea’s career consolidated itself as one of the most unique phenomena within the Argentine digital universe. Born in Buenos Aires in 1992, he began his career as a social media influencer in the mid-2010s, first with humorous posts and personal reflections, and later as a figure capable of mobilizing millions of people through charitable causes. Although his direct, irreverent and emotional style was never put in favor of political causes, in this election year he had an exposure and greater proselytizing exposure, turning him into a mileist voice in the media spectrum.
