The host Marcelo Tinelli, a historic Kirchnerist and former member of the controversial “Mesa del Hambre” of Alberto Fernández's government, has once again generated controversy following the closure of his official Instagram account, which had accumulated more than 15 million followers.
According to reports, the last visible activity on his profile was related to the celebration of Belgrano de Córdoba for their title after defeating River Plate. Hours later, the profile disappeared completely, generating all kinds of speculation.
Journalist Fede Flowers was one of the first to report on the account's shutdown. Tinelli contacted him and suggested the possibility of hacking, although there has been no official confirmation about what happened so far.
A long-time Kirchnerist
Tinelli has a past clearly linked to Kirchnerism. During the governments of Néstor and Cristina Kirchner, he was one of the main allies of power in Argentine television.
Years later, in December 2019, he accepted to join the famous “Mesa contra el Hambre” initiated by Alberto Fernández, a space that ended up being more symbolic than effective and received harsh criticism for its lack of implementation amid a severe social and economic crisis.
Reactions on social media
Thousands of users expressed their surprise at the sudden disappearance of the host's profile. Tinelli is one of the most popular figures in Argentine television, and his absence from the platform had an immediate impact.
The host has had a close relationship with football throughout his career, participating in various events and showing his passion for different teams. This episode adds a new chapter to his public trajectory, where social media often takes center stage.
For now, it is expected that Tinelli will provide more details about what happened and whether he will be able to recover his account. In the meantime, the celebration of Belgrano remains a topic of conversation in the football community.
