The communist Verónica Fiorito, former director of the children's channel Pakapaka and a key figure in the cultural indoctrination of Kirchnerism with public media, was chosen to lead "Origamis," a new section "for kids" within the ultra-Kirchnerist streaming platform Gelatina, directed by Pedro Rosemblat and funded by the Government of the Province of Buenos Aires.
The Origamis project aims to replicate the Pakapaka model, the channel created under Cristina Kirchner's administration to brainwash children, but this time adapted to the digital format, and from a pseudo-private channel.
However, beyond its apparent children's focus, the real goal is to recover the classic ideological indoctrination of Kirchnerism, promoting content loaded with a progressive and leftist agenda appealing to unprotected children.
The programming is expected to include themes related to gender, sexual identity, and diversity, presented in a way that's dangerous for the development of children, who are minors.
It's worth clarifying that despite what's said on social media and what Gelatina has tried to establish, during Javier Milei's administration, all disassociations from Pakapaka (and from all Contenidos Públicos Sociedad del Estado, which includes Pakapaka, Encuentro, and Deportv) have been due to voluntary retirements, without displacements for ideological reasons.
A history of indoctrination
Fiorito's previous management at Pakapaka and the Encuentro channel is marked by having used public media as tools of Kirchnerist ideological propaganda.
Under her direction, the content of these channels strayed from a truly educational and neutral proposal, to focus on narratives aligned with Kirchnerism. Fiorito chose to recruit children for the Kirchnerist cause, disguising the ideologization as supposed pedagogical content.
Her return with the Origamis project raises fears that this strategy will be repeated, this time on a streaming platform that could reach homes more quickly and massively, without parents being fully aware of the content their children consume.
Additionally, Fiorito was responsible for creating the character "Zamba" which, along with the producer "El Perro y la Luna," was a tool of the left to whitewash the image of the most nefarious characters in history, like Karl Marx, in the eyes of children.
