Kirchnerist journalist Julia Mengolini received more than $70,226,385 in official advertising funds.

Between 2020 and 2022, Futurock Producciones SRL, a company owned by ultra-Kirchnerist journalist Julia Mengolini, who is facing controversy on social media after being accused of maintaining a romantic relationship with her brother, received a total of $70,226,385 in official advertising funds from the National Government and the Province of Buenos Aires.

According to El Disenso, this figure, which at current value would be $370,374,740, excludes contracts made by Kirchnerist municipalities and other state entities during the Kirchnerist government of Alberto Fernández, so the real amount could be considerably higher.

Futurock, a Kirchnerist online radio station, operates from a digital platform that no one listens to, but managed to establish itself in the media ecosystem aligned with Kirchnerism, thanks to the sustained support of the Kirchnerist state.

In addition to the resources received from the Nation and Province between 2020 and 2022, there are also contracts from public companies such as YPF, Aerolíneas Argentinas, and AFIP, as well as from organizations like the General Audit Office of the City of Buenos Aires and municipalities led by Peronist mayors, such as Avellaneda, Morón, Quilmes, San Martín, and others.

The Official Bulletin of Morón shows that in March 2023 the municipality governed by Lucas Ghi disbursed $1,190,000 to Futurock Producciones SRL. Meanwhile, during the "Youth Festival" organized by Injuve at Tecnópolis, the company billed $2,850,000 for coverage of the event, as stated in invoice No. 145.

Meanwhile, Mengolini publicly promotes the idea that Futurock is funded thanks to the "contributions of its listeners." Through a campaign called "Sharing the Capital," the few followers are invited to make monthly contributions, under slogans such as "Others have offshore accounts, we count on you."

This narrative contrasts with the enormous official advertising funds received, casting doubt on the story of economic independence that the Kirchnerist journalist falsely promotes.

The discretionary use of official advertising funds has historically been a sensitive issue in the relationship between governments and the media. Originally conceived as a tool to communicate management actions, it became an instrument of editorial conditioning.

Thus, public resources end up being directed to media outlets that reinforce narratives aligned with Kirchnerism, while critical voices are marginalized or economically suffocated.

Since the arrival of President Javier Milei, the official advertising funds from the National Government have been eliminated for everyone, although there are still funds provided by provincial governments, such as that of Kirchnerist Axel Kicillof.
