La Derecha Diario Ricardo Canaletti spoke out against lowering the age of criminal responsibility and defended murderers.
The journalist attended Juana Viale's show and had a heated exchange over the Kim Gómez case
Ricardo Canaletti became a trending topic in the last few hours, not for his work as a journalist, but for his heated exchange on Juana Viale's show, last Sunday, April 6. It all started when Noelia Marzol, another guest at the table, spoke about the case of Kim Gómez, the girl murdered in La Plata during a robbery committed by two teenagers aged 14 and 17.
The disagreement began when Canaletti, instead of outright condemning the events, expressed a controversial opinion: "No, he's not a beast." For him, the situation wasn't that simple. According to the journalist specialized in crime, there are people who focus on "looking for a solution" and others who only expect an emotional reaction to the event. "Of course, we already know how you react," he said, looking at Marzol, who had shown her outrage at the crime, adding that the perpetrators didn't deserve forgiveness.

The tension grew when Juanita intervened, supporting the idea that, regardless of who committed the crime, the act was "aberrant." However, Canaletti didn't stop there and continued adding remarks that revealed his view of the episode. In an even more controversial comment, he stated: "You know that for the fourteen-year-old kid, what he did is okay," which left those present stunned.
The model, visibly shocked, immediately replied: "It's not okay to drag a girl for fifteen blocks." The dialogue continued with the writer justifying the actions of the youths, claiming that their only goal was to sell the stolen car to get money and buy drugs. In his view, the father of the 14-year-old was even worse than him.
Canaletti's intervention, far from calming the spirits, further ignited the debate on what the solution to the insecurity problem would be. For him, the resolution of such episodes would come from improving the living conditions of the population, and he recalled that the current legislation establishes non-punishability for minors under 14, a view he considered "quite extreme."
