“I had lost the election with Ibarra, I was leading everyone in the opposition. And this girl came with her adviser. I told her ‘we must vote for this law because it is what corresponds’. And she told me: ‘I owe myself to the people who voted for me.’ I took out a ballot, put it on the table and said, ‘Other than your mom and dad and your boyfriend, who saw your name on the list?’ get out of the block and his political career ended because his ego did not handle it”, were the statements of the former president Mauricio Macri in an interview with Joaquin Morales Sola in TN.
The anecdote goes back to an event in 2005, the former legislator would be Florence Polymeni, who had entered fourth on the list, which was led by Gabriela Michetti. In those times, the current owner of the FIFA Foundation led the front Commitment to Changebefore his union with RECREATE to give way to PROand was positioned as an emerging candidate.
The political scientist Florence Polimeni, who has an extensive curriculum that includes having been a “record seller, artisan, teacher, dancer, journalist and art collector”, was one of the authors of the Patronage Law, the Sexual Education Law and the Independent Theater Law, among others. Currently, she chairs the Fundación Democracia en Red.
On Twitter, the former legislator responded to a question about whether the former president was referring to her. Polimeni wrote: “It was probably me. But the story was not like that.” On the other hand, Polimeni’s response in the media did not wait: “I think it is quite violent and little happy your statementas if one could handle a person with those kinds of phrases, He is more of a boss or owner than a politician, no wonder. You have to dedicate yourself to fiction. Because memory is clearly not his thing.”
