Once again, the presidential spokesperson Gabriela Ceruti at the center of a scandal. This time, before the Minister for Equality Spain, described the tribute to those killed by Covid as the stones of the “right”, and unleashed the fury of the opposition. But this is not the first time something like this has happened. In detail, the Top Five of his most controversial moments:
5th Crossroads with a journalist from La Nación
In February, Alberto Fernandez had told his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putinwho wanted to “leave behind Argentina’s dependence” on the United States and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Days later, at a press conference, the journalist from La Nación, cecilia devanna asked Gabriela Cerruti if there was going to be “some kind of signal with the US government behind the position of the State Department, of US officials who let their displeasure with the president’s statements be known.” Cerruti asked her which official she was talking about, and Devanna He replied that it was “off”, that is, a source that does not authorize the dissemination of his identity.
“The offs give information and you have to check them with two other independent sources to find out if it’s true or not. That a source of an opinion and is taken as the opinion of the State Department is a novelty in the exercise of journalism,” he attacked ironically the presidential spokesperson, despite the fact that Devanna had clarified that the information had been duly checked and that was why it had been published. What unleashed the anger of many journalists. After the crossing, Cerruti had to apologize to the journalists who participated in the conference for “having been mishandled.”
4th Cerruti vs. Big Brother Alpha
It all started when Alphaone of the participants of Big Brotheraffirmed that he had received bribes from the president Alberto Fernandez. Cerruti quickly responded on Twitter and assured that the president had no information about Alfa and that he did not remember having met him. And he even demanded that the channel and the production of the program retract.
From Telefe they responded that they never put Alfa’s comments on the air, but that it had been broadcast through the Pluto TV platform. In addition, they assured that the presidential spokeswoman was aware of that, but that she spoke on Twitter anyway.
Immediately, Cerruti received criticism not only from fans of the program and opposition representatives, but also from many politicians and personalities identified with Kirchnerism. like the journalist Diego Brancatelli.
“1% of Argentines heard what the ghost of GH said about the President, until @gabicerru She made sure that 90% of her or the skull that thought that doing that was correct knows that they are doing us a lot of damage and being functional to Macrismo. Do + nothing,” tweeted Brancatelli.

The day after the incident, during the press conference, the CNN journalist Ignatius Grimaldi He asked Cerruti why he had tweeted so much about the controversy with Alfa, and had not commented on the budget reduction for areas related to child poverty, raised in the 2023 budget. “I don’t know how long it takes you to tweet. I think it must have taken me five minutes. I’m a journalist and I write fast. In addition, one can tweet from the phone while doing other things, so it seems to me that it is a question that has neither head nor tail, ”the spokeswoman responded in a bad way.
3º The stones of “the right”
In third place is the most recent. It occurred during the visit of the Minister of Equality of Spain Irene Montero, while Cerruti gave him a tour of the Casa Rosada. The spokeswoman shared part of those moments in Instagram stories, among which were the stones that the relatives and friends of Covid victims had deposited in Plaza de Mayo in 2021 as a tribute, and which are now protected inside the Palace of government. Which she referred to in a most reprehensible way. “After Covid, the right He has put his stones remembering the dead of Covid, ”says Cerruti in his description.
Immediately, the video went viral and from the opposition they came out to repudiate it, alleging that the stones did not represent “the right”, but rather the Argentines who had died as a result of the pandemic.

2nd Raffle of intimate toys
In July, Cerruti was harshly questioned when her participation in a vibrator raffle became known. It was from the networks of “The Revolution of the Old Women”and offered this initiative to celebrate “Friend’s Day”.
The controversy generated a barrage of criticism that led to the elimination of his participation in the post. Most criticized him for being frivolous promoting this type of raffle at a time when the country is going through a complex economic crisis, with uncontrolled inflation and serious exchange problems. critics among which were personalities such as Carlos Kambourianformer president of Garrahan Hospital and Secretary of Health during the Government of Mauricio Macri, who demanded that he should be worried 24 hours a day about solving the country’s economic problems.
“I am concerned that they are currently bothering older adults. Everything worries me, and I’m working on everything. I suppose that you did the same when you were an official,” Cerruti replied. To which Kambourian retorted: “Take care of the almost non-existent medical attention of the PAMI of the elderly, of the food that the kids do not have on their table. The growing malnutrition, uncontrolled inflation and the political stability of a headless government. Older adults don’t need your support. They need to eat, be cared for and, above all, respect.”
1º Dental hygiene in full session of Deputies
But one of the disruptive and memorable moments of Gabriela Ceruti refers to August 2020, when she was a deputy, the meetings of the Camera They took part of the legislators by zoom and to everyone’s surprise, in the middle of the session, he began to brush his teeth in front of the camera, without realizing that he was appearing on the screen of the venue. Moment that, obviously, was recorded and recorded forever.
