The host of Argenzuela, Jorge Rial, didn't hesitate to express his anger against his colleague Mariana Brey on social media and on air, after her statements about the police actions during the retirees' march in front of Congress that ended in serious clashes between leftist activists and the police.

Mariana Brey tried to balance the victims on both sides of the conflict, pointing out that thepolice officers had also been attacked. However, her most controversial comment was when she suggested that the disturbances at the march could have been part of an attempted coup against Javier Milei's government.  According to Brey, the protesters were not retirees, but opposition forces to the Government.  Her reflection sparked a strong controversy on the channel she works for, C5N.

Jorge Rial's insults

Quickly, Jorge Rial used his radio show to fiercely criticize Brey. For the host,  his colleague's opinions were not only wrong but also represented a dangerous attitude.Rial accused Brey of being a spokesperson for the "regime," making it clear once again that he refers to Javier Milei's government as a dictatorship.

In a forceful tone, Rial stated:  "There are sons of bitches everywhere. Even on our channel. Journalists who are sons of bitches! They have degraded this job. They are spokespersons for a regime." This way, Rial not only questioned Brey but also denounced what he perceived as a lack of professional ethics in the media.

A deep ideological confrontation

The episode reflects a confrontation far beyond a simple discussion about violence in protests.  Rial, with his characteristic style, made it clear that Brey's opinions were linked to an ideology he doesn't share, especially in a political context he despises. This dispute highlights the deep divisions in the Argentine journalistic field, where political stances can directly influence how facts are presented.
