The journalist who invented that Milei stole the gold had been fired from Public TV.

After being kicked out of TVP for being a 'ñoqui,' Luciana Glezer is responsible for manipulating the Government with fake news

Luciana Glezer, an ultra-Kirchnerist journalist associated with outlets like La Política Online (LPO) and FM La Patriada, has been attempting to spread a false news story accusing Javier Milei's government of "stealing" the gold from the Central Bank of the Argentine Republic (BCRA).

In a recent publication in LPO, Glezer wrote: "Concern because the gold doesn't appear in the balance sheet presented by the Central Bank. The fate of the billions of dollars in gold that the Central Bank had remains a mystery. Now it doesn't appear in the balance sheet."

However, this claim turned out to be false, as the "gold" category clearly appears at the top of the BCRA's balance sheet, under the section of "International Reserves." These operations with false news aim to attack Milei's government but are refuted by the accounting evidence presented by the Central Bank itself.

The document shows a balance sheet of the Central Bank of the Republic of Argentina as of December 31, 2024, presented in comparison with the previous fiscal year, with figures in thousands of pesos in constant currency, highlighting international reserves and public securities, accompanied by a pointing hand emoji.

The reason for the attacks with false news

The reason for these accusations is directly linked to a personal conflict and professional dispute between Glezer and Milei's administration. In 2024, the ultra-Kirchnerist journalist was justifiably dismissed from Argentine Public Television (TVP), where she "worked" in the production area, following a major scandal that involved her.

According to channel sources, Glezer was discovered using a fake psychiatric leave to be absent from her position while actively working in other media, such as FM La Patriada and La Política Online, both outlets with critical stances toward the government and close to Kirchnerism.

The case began in July 2024, when Glezer presented a medical certificate on a graph paper sheet, signed by a psychologist, to justify a leave for mental health reasons. TVP authorities, suspecting the document's legitimacy, rejected the request.

Days later, the journalist presented a new certificate signed by a psychiatrist, but the irregularities continued. While on leave, Glezer continued participating in radio programs and writing for La Política Online, which raised suspicions about her true work situation.

The situation escalated when Glezer sent an email to TVP authorities, accusing them of "discriminating against her" for not including her in a voluntary retirement program. However, official sources clarified that they couldn't offer her the voluntary retirement while she was on medical leave, and they demanded she resume her duties. Glezer refused, prioritizing her commitments with other media, which resulted in her definitive dismissal from TVP.

Considering her history, Glezer's campaign against Milei's government, including the false accusation about the BCRA's gold, is a response to a personal vendetta following her justified dismissal for being a Kirchnerist "ñoqui".

Her trajectory in media aligned with Kirchnerism and her history of irregularities at TVP make it evident that her criticisms based on false information aim to attack the government's image rather than inform with rigor.
