Journalist Robertito Funes Ugarte reacted to Diego Santilli's resounding victory in the 2025 legislative elections. He did so with a message that was interpreted as a clear indirect remark toward his colleague from A la Barbarossa (Telefe), Nancy Pazos.
The atmosphere between them is far from cordial, and Robertito's post further fueled the tension between the panelists.

Robertito's provocative post after the elections
After Santilli prevailed in Buenos Aires province, the journalist posted on his Instagram account a photo of the politician with his wife, Analía Maiorana. In the image, he added a scathing message that many interpreted as a "taunt" for Pazos.
"Double winner! People voted for him, he chose a good, fun, beautiful, and young woman who lifts him up", he wrote emphatically.
That comment went viral because Santilli is Nancy Pazos's ex-husband, which added an extra element to the interpretation of the message.
