The words of Mario Pergolini brought back to the table the rumors that spoke for years of a supposed bad relationship with Ernestina Pais.
Mario Pergolini referred for the first time to the death of Ernestina Pais and dedicated a heartfelt message during his program on Vorterix. His words also reignited the story about the supposed bad relationship that was attributed to them for years.
The host lamented the passing of the journalist and recalled the affection she inspired among those who knew her. Furthermore, his statements overshadowed the versions that emerged after the change of leadership of Caiga Quien Caiga (CQC) in 2009.
During his program on Vorterix, Pergolini expressed his sorrow over the death of Ernestina Pais, which occurred on June 26 in a train accident.
"The news about Ernestina Pais was a horrendous blow. Something very ugly. She was a beloved woman", he stated.
He then highlighted the affection that the host received even in the most difficult moments of her life. "Even in her moments of misfortune, everyone tried to help her get through it", he affirmed.
Before closing the topic, he sent a message to her closest circle. "It's a shame. Sending love to her son and to the people who cared for her. It's tremendous", he concluded.
The rumors began in 2009, when the journalist was chosen to replace Pergolini at the helm of CQC, after the historic host left the program after 15 years.
At that time, speculations arose indicating that Pergolini might not have liked a woman taking his place. However, this alleged enmity was never confirmed by either of them.
Unlike the rumors that circulated for years, Ernestina Pais always spoke publicly with admiration about Mario Pergolini.
In various interviews, she highlighted the importance it had for her to take on the leadership of CQC, one of the most emblematic shows on Argentine television.
The statements that Pergolini made after the death of the host reinforced that image of mutual respect and undermined the versions of a supposed rivalry between the two.
