On Sunday the influencer Santi Maratea and the deputy Ophelia Fernandez participated in the section “Conclave” of the podcast “The Reboard Method”. During the program both exchanged their opinions on various issues, such as the role of politics in society, or the attack on Cristina Kirchner. The program had several replicas on Twitter, and the fans of Maratea and Fernández warmed up the post-debate.
The attempted assassination of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was one of the triggers. Tomás Rebord asked Santi Maratea what he thought about the “duty” of public figures to give their opinion and position themselves on agenda items, especially if it is a political agenda.
Maratea questioned the idea that a public figure should always give their opinion. “Once you’ve brought up the topic, they’re looking to see if you’ve gone overboard. Anything that’s debatable or that happened 3 minutes ago, they ask you how your opinion is going to be and if you’re going to be on the same page with what someone said. a few days ago”, said the influencer, and even referred to the singer wow, who released his song “Kangaroo” to complain about the social situation. “Should we ask Wos for a song from “Kangaroo” but now against Alberto?” asked the influencer.
Maratea had condemned the attack against Cristina on her networks, but later she also expressed opinions that generated controversy: “It makes me sad that in Argentina fewer and fewer people can access education, health, security and a future, while it is full of fanatics who believe that the problem to be solved in the country is an internal one between 6 politicians. Keep up the crack, they’re good, “said the influencer, and then I ponder the solidarity collections to which he is dedicated, in contrast to, according to him, the inaction of politics to solve social problems.
“I don’t feel like arguing with anyone, I just remind those who criticize my work or my role in society, that like this, stupid as they see me, I already managed to collect more than a billion pesos, every penny invested in Argentina. You guys? Did they widen a crack? ”, The influencer had commented, highlighting the collection he made at the beginning of the year for the fires in Corrientes. Regarding the criticism that rained down on him for his opinions, he clarified that he does not want to “discuss with fools” and that “politics, which is managed by politicians, is not going to change anything.”
The Kirchnerist deputy Ofelia Fernández replied to Maratea for his opinion on the role of the State in the fires in Corrientes. For her, Maratea’s achievement did not demonstrate the inaction of politics and called the discussion between the State and the market to resolve social problems as reductionist.
“For us or for the Peronist movement, it is not just the market and the State, and the rest is anti-conservative politics, bad and that must be pointed out and attacked,” defended the Buenos Aires legislator. “There is one thing in the middle that is community organization, which for us is something very valuable and is part of our history,” he continued.
“Ultimately, what happened with the collection in currents It is, for me, a form of community organization, modern, perhaps incomprehensible, due to the impotence itself for those of us who live in a time in which the formula of transforming the reality in which we trust and bet does not finish giving answers or solving that that society suffers from,” said Ofelia Fernández.
The legislator called for “trusting politics as a tool to change reality.” She also pointed out that “it is good that they have the opportunity to understand that some of us also love a political leader. We love her, as if she were our friend, our mother,” she said.
“In times of discomfort, to think that the sense anti-politics it is ultra-right or conservative people is not understanding the time you are living. The anti-political response at a time of such deep social and economic crisis is logical”, reaffirmed Ofelia Fernández and added: “We are in a time of discomfort because there are problems to find work or that work is precarious or housing is precarious, the big issues are war, inflation and debt…, there is a climate of general malaise and there is little prospect for the future. Imagining the future is overwhelming.”
