“Totally appropriate the questions of Mariana Brey. If I had to choose—be careful, it’s very personal—I think her classmates should take a journalism class with her and not the other way around. How nervous they got. And how well she dealt with the gesture of authority,” the journalist wrote from his Twitter account. Ernest Tenembaum. The tweet sparked a debate between those who supported the journalist and those who considered that his opinion was wrong.
It is that the journalist of C5N, Mariana Brey was the protagonist of a report to the union leader Pablo Moyano which ended in a scandal: the trade unionist got up and left the cell phone. Next to her, was the interim conductor of the cycle Argenzuela, Diego Brancatelli, who intervened in the interview to try to calm things down, while they talked about the social conflicts in the province of Jujuy.
“In my opinion, Security appears when there are people who throw stones. If it doesn’t seem that when stones are thrown it is an attack and if they throw it on the side of the opposition it has to be repressed. Does that depend on which side you’re on?” Brey said. At that moment, her roommate, Diego Brancatelli, interrupted her and asked: “Which side are you on?”
Finally, Brancatelli, with a curt posture, told the journalist to limit herself to asking questions to leave the analysis at another time. The round trip between colleagues remained in the air accompanied by the smile of the leader of the CGTwho was gaining in discomfort and who later responded to Brey’s concerns with references to journalists from the Clarin Group.
“What happens is that sitting in an office they talk calmly,” Moyano replied. “You have to be in the place of a worker when they tell him: ‘You’re not going to have the parity you deserve.’ Or when they say to an indigenous people: ‘We are going to seize your land to get the minerals or lithium’. When they tell you: ‘You can’t set foot on the street because you go to jail if you want to protest’. What is the reaction?” added the leader.
“Isn’t that something that was voted for by a majority? Is it unconstitutional?” Brey asked him, and the discussion grew. “You are journalists, don’t you investigate what is happening?” replied the leader. “I see a lot of politicians who are governing behind a social network doing politics from Twitter,” said the journalist. I don’t see them laying their bodies down, or traveling to Jujuy to take some measure or sit down to talk.” “There were almost 60 injured. He is calling for a national strike, something must be said. You can’t stop the country for anything,” Brey said.
While panelist Mauro Federico was speaking, the leader removed the headset that connected him to the floor and got up from his chair. “He was the guest, we are discussing… Let’s respect the interviewee”, reproached Diego Brancatelli, conductor of the cycle during the absence of Jorge Rial.
