In the context of the useless mobilization for the 11th anniversary of "Ni Una Menos," journalist Mariana Brey was emphatic in questioning the march. During an episode of Ángel Responde on Bondi Live, Brey had an intense exchange with the ultrakirchnerista Romina Scalora as she expressed her critical stance regarding certain forms of carnival-like activism.
Brey clarified that this is not a matter of hatred, but of feeling represented. According to her words, many women do not identify with feminists who believe they speak for all.
The host stated that she agrees with the march itself, but pointed out the role of some representatives who, in her opinion, only participate when it suits them or depending on whom they represent at that moment.
The debate on the effectiveness of mobilizations
"I don’t need to go to the march to be a feminist. I also don’t understand what the march resolves the day after," Brey declared. The journalist emphasized that for her, real changes must happen in Congress, with harsher laws against rapists and abusers, which the left and kirchnerism have never promoted.
She argued that the decision to toughen penalties for serious crimes should be unanimous and criticized that there are deputies against stricter measures. "It has to change in Congress," she insisted.
Scalora responded by defending the questionable impact of the popular women's movement, which she claims has managed to establish the figure of femicide and generate social pressure. "All rights have been won in the same way," she argued.
Brey maintained her position and added that beyond femicide, other concrete measures are needed to achieve the ultimate goal of effective protection.
The clash with Mónica Farro and the reactions
The debate arose after Brey questioned Mónica Farro's statements on LAM about the same topic. On air, Scalora pointed out that it is unthinkable for someone to be angrier with feminists than with a femicide who dismembers a 14-year-old girl.
The journalist responded that she does not hate feminists, but she does question when they proclaim themselves as the only voices of all women. For Brey, there is a clear difference between supporting the cause and aligning with certain figures of the movement.
