The streaming channel OLGA, located in the Palermo neighborhood of Buenos Aires, became the scene of a controversy that quickly spread to social media. It all began on Wednesday, when two of its hosts celebrated live the Supreme Court's final conviction against Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
During the broadcast of the program Tapados de Laburo, the streamers Franco, known as "Mortedor," and Santiago Rodríguez Zahn, alias "Santutu," enthusiastically applauded the judicial decision that confirmed a sentence of six years in prison and a lifetime ban from holding public office for the former president.
"Let's give our opinion about Cristina Fernández de Kirchner being sent to prison, a big round of applause," Mortedor said. Both stood up and celebrated the judicial decision with applause, while the rest of the team reacted with discomfort.
Discomfort in the studio and internal tensions
Nacho Elizalde, Evelyn Botto, Paula Chaves, and Luli González chose not to join the celebration. They limited themselves to watching in silence, without expressing any opinion. Unicornio, another member present, was more explicit and distanced himself: "I stepped back, I didn't applaud," he commented amid the tense moment.
Santutu's response came quickly: "Of course... you're a Peronist." That phrase added to the controversy already circulating on social media, where the program's segment was widely shared and criticized.
