After the television crossover between the chief of staff, Santiago Cafiero, and the journalist Diego Leuco for the crime of Fabián Gutiérrez, President Alberto Fernández retweeted an edited video to mock the questions of the El Trece driver. This Wednesday came the reply of the journalist, who spoke of "violence", "disappointment" and "persecution" in the president's message.

The video that Fernández had published was edited by the user @Herezeq, nicknamed "Nik Salieri", who in a few hours had more than 3,300 retweets and 10,000 likes. It is edited and has hitting sounds accompanied by images of fists when the official responds to Leuco.

After the President's gesture, the journalist replied. " How sad that your reaction to an ethical discussion between a journalist and a minister is to respond with blows. How sad and disappointed those who believed in your moderation must be," the defense began.

Regarding the discussion about the crime of Fabián Gutiérrez, Leuco continued: "What a pity that in your desire to deny the undeniable and to want to accuse others of having said things that we never said, you and your chief of staff are unaware that they were your own judge and family lawyer who publicly stated that one of the main hypotheses in the case is theft. "

Emboldened, Leuco also spoke of Cristina Kirchner's influence in power. "Too bad Cristina has so quickly managed to completely annul it, if she ever intended to differentiate herself from savagery."

The driver considered of a "very high institutional gravity" that Fernández uploaded that video from his verified account as President of the Nation. 

"Neither journalism nor any sector of society is answered with blows," he added.

The Cabinet chief had met the journalist on Monday during an interview on Telenoche. "I think it was very unfortunate all the view that part of the opposition had regarding linking this crime with the former vice president and our political space. It was very painful," the official began.

Given this, the journalist stopped him and tried to clarify: "Sorry, but this connection has to do with events that are factual and that occurred. A key witness testifies against a former president, that person is murdered and in 48 hours any type is ruled out of mobile. Above who investigates is the niece of the accused person. "

Before Leuco finished speaking, Cafiero interrupted him: "Unless these connections can be demonstrated, then they are all assumptions. In reality, it is a prejudice. Clearly, those connections do not exist. The family, the lawyer said so. It seems to me more like a prejudiced look it does not represent what is happening. "

The crossings continued on the same subject, in the middle of a tense climate and with opposite positions until the end of the interview.
