CFK's CM requested a Borges special on Encuentro, but Milei had already done it.

The ultra-Kirchnerist activist did not know that a program with those characteristics is already available on the channel

Yesterday, the community manager of the corrupt former president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner on X, identified on the social network as "LaInca_", was ridiculed after posting a message suggesting the creation of a special program about Jorge Luis Borges on public television.

However, numerous users reminded the ultra-Kirchnerist activist that a program with those characteristics is already available on Canal Encuentro, produced under the administration of the current government of Javier Milei.

The CM's message said: "I never ask for anything, but if we ever come back I'd love to make a program on Encuentro or TV Pública called "Borges, argentino." Four episodes in which national themes or procedures in JLB are explored in each one".

However, what the Kirchnerist seemed not to know is that Canal Encuentro had already launched a production with those same characteristics. In a post on its official account, the educational channel announced: "Are you ready to discover what's behind the pen that redefined Argentine literature? Canal Encuentro invites you on a journey through the life of Jorge Luis Borges. In four episodes you'll learn about his lonely childhood, the beginnings of ultraism, the friendships with the Ocampos and Bioy that marked him, his relationship with María Kodama, and even a curious anecdote with Mick Jagger. Now available on our YouTube channel".

The Encuentro special consists of four episodes that cover the life and work of the writer, considered one of the greatest exponents of world literature. The series covers his beginnings as a young ultraist, the founding of literary magazines, and his friendship with figures such as Victoria and Silvina Ocampo, Macedonio Fernández, Xul Solar, and Adolfo Bioy Casares, up to the publication of his most famous works such as "Fervor de Buenos Aires", "Ficciones", and "El Aleph".

In addition, more personal aspects are included: his work as a librarian, professor, and director of the National Library, his struggle against blindness, and his passion for the study of Old English. The program also reviews intimate reflections on friendship, love, and reading that marked his life.

This way, the request from Cristina Kirchner's CM led many users to point out that the proposal she was making had already been carried out, leaving her ridiculed.
