Carlos Tévez broke actress K, Florencia Peña for her criticism: 'I don't know her'

Carlos Tevez broke the silence after Florencia Peña's harsh statements, who criticized him for his political stance. In an interview with Ángel de Brito,  the former player avoided direct confrontation but made his position clear: "I don't know her,"  he said firmly.

Peña had expressed her disappointment with "el Apache," stating that  "he forgot where he came from."  Although initially the Tevez Foundation came to his defense, it was the former footballer himself who chose to respond publicly.

Florencia Peña questioned el Apache for his political stance

During a recent interview,  Florencia Peña commented on Carlos Tevez and his closeness to political figures like Mauricio Macri and Javier Milei."I liked him a lot as a player, but I don't like who he became.He forgot a bit where he came from," she declared.

The actress also targeted footballers who avoid speaking out about the country's situation. She considered that  many "don't take a stand"  and criticized those who live abroad but speak as if they were in Argentina.

"I've always liked players to take responsibility for the microphone they have, to convey a different message. But well, that's personal," she noted.

Peña also questioned the direction professional football has taken. "It's no longer that innocent street game; now it's a results-driven business," she analyzed.

Tevez replied without confrontation

On the LAM (América) program, Ángel de Brito asked Tevez directly about Peña's remarks. El Apache replied calmly but marked distance:  "I don't know her personally. I know who she is, but I can't talk about her."

The former footballer clarified that he doesn't get involved in controversies:  "I continue with my life, with my daughters and my wife. I don't get into those problems. I went through them when I was young. Today I enjoy life."

Previously, Silvia Tallarico, director of the Tevez Foundation, had expressed her discomfort with Peña's comments. She invited her to visit the organization to learn about the social work they do with low-income people.

Tevez and his support for Javier Milei

In January 2024,  Carlos Tevez showed support for President Javier Milei. In a conversation with Radio Mitre he stated that, although he never spoke with him, he supported the need for a profound change in the country.

"I know many people are suffering, but I believe this is the path to change something," the former player opined.

With these words, Tevez made his political stance clear, one that garnered support among some sectors but also criticisms like Peña's. The controversy, far from fading, remains alive with this recent response.
