With a
few seconds
of a video uploaded to her social networks this Thursday, María Eugenia Vidal generated a stir that perhaps she did not expect.
The reason?
He showed when the head of SAME, Alberto Crescenti, gave him a vest that he used
during the Once tragedy
.
The broadcast generated instant criticism for a number of obvious reasons.
But as
Clarín
learned
, that
discussion
had already taken place,
for two days
, within those who manage the Buenos Aires campaign of Together for Change.
Is that the meeting between Vidal and Crescenti
was this Tuesday
and the gesture of the head of SAME was analyzed by his communication team who did not agree to publicize it.
To make matters worse, what the candidate said at the time - and what was published on her networks - did not help to generate
criticism for the use of the tragedy
in the campaign.
"
Beto
gave me the vest he used in the Tragedy of Eleven.
Many heroes do not wear a cape
. You, more than a friend, are that hero to me," Vidal tweeted when accompanying the text with the filming and a red heart emoji.
"I haven't touched this since Eleven ended, so
you take it with you,
" Crescenti is heard saying in the video.
"Thank you, you don't know, I'm going to cry," replied the candidate for deputy for Together for the Change in Capital.
And he finishes off those behind the camera: "It's the one from Once."
Alberto Crescenti gave the vest he used in the Tragedy of Once to María Eugenia Vidal.
Photo capture.
The video was filmed on a Vidal campaign drive.
This Tuesday the candidate was with the Buenos Aires health minister, Fernán Quirós, and Crescenti at the headquarters of the SAME system, where they talked with radio operators and workers about the service in the context of a pandemic.
The Emergency Medical Attention System (SAME) is an organizational unit dependent on the Ministry of Health of the GCBA, and its objective is to provide the appropriate medical response to emergencies.
Vidal knows it well
.
As Minister of Social Development of the City, the candidate forged a personal bond with the head of SAME.
So much so that, together, during Vidal's passage through the governorship of the province of Buenos Aires, they expanded the arrival of
SAME to the suburbs
, an idea of the doctor that she took and was
one of her management milestones
.
And so much so that the decision of the gift was "noble" and "personal" from Crescenti, who "loves her very much," said those who witnessed the gesture.
"María Eugenia was
invited by Crescenti
to SAME, within the framework of the 30 years of the institution. They have a very strong bond," they added.
The issue is that the
diffused
personal gift
takes on another dimension
.
And there, the debate between those who handle the threads of the campaign and communication took on another dimension.
While many warned of the possible consequences of giving the video - among them those who run Vidal's networks - there was
someone who insisted on publishing it
.
And, by the results, he would have won the arm wrestling.
The sources
point to
Fernando Straface
, Secretary General and International Relations of the government of Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, at the same time, head of the Buenos Aires ruling party campaign.
"All the activities of María Eugenia are disseminated. In each one of them
the most symbolic moment is disseminated
. And in this case, the emotion of both is seen in the video," Straface told
Clarín
.
"SAME played
a key role in this pandemic
both in the city and in the province and this is a policy of our state," had been Vidal's formal statement, consigned in the campaign press release on Tuesday.
The image that accompanied the campaign move was another, quite different.
And in fact, they were posted on his Instagram account.
Fernán Quirós, Alberto Crescenti and María Eugenia Vidal, in the photo they released of the meeting, two days before the video.
They released photos with Crescenti and Quirós, whom they usually resort to as campaign costumes, it is presumed, due to the positive image of the Buenos Aires Minister of Health.
The candidate knew about the publication of the video on her networks almost when it happened.
Precisely with Quirós it was
the first false step
that the communication of Vidal's team suffered.
It was because of the TikTok that she and Rodríguez Larreta did in which the minister appeared giving an answer to a query by
taking a little jump
.
That piece of networks
ended up being the meat
of Jorge Lanata's
monologue
in his program Periodismo Para Todos.
The crack on Twitter
With the publication on Twitter, the social network became the fighting arena for the interpretations of the video with Crescenti.
There was criticism
by the doctor for "politicizing", the candidate for a certain levity when receiving something so symbolic and both for the use of a tragedy in the campaign.
So strong was the impact that
Crescenti became a trend on
Wednesday.
"Scandalous from all sides, that of Crescenti (SAME). And clearly committing a criminal offense,
violating the duties of the
public
official
," exaggerated one user.
Beto gave me the vest he used in the Tragedy of Eleven.

"One of the things that most rescued from Alberto Crescenti in addition to his great professional task, is his non-involvement in party politics, until today ...
Too bad,
" @diegommadrid expressed himself.
For his part, @ Dansan671 wrote: "I don't know which is worse, if the" gift "from Crescenti, or
that Vidal uploads the video
as if he had finished playing against Real Madrid".
"
As a direct relative
of the Tragedy of Once I repudiate in my name the vest show mounted by Doctor Crescenti and the candidate María Eugenia Vidal for continuing to campaign with our dead. I do not give RT to said video because it turns my stomach," he wrote @TROESMAENFUGA.
On the other hand, the user @DruidBloggerOK defended: "Crescenti has already done much more in his
generous, committed and selfless life
than the sum of the entire universe that criticizes him, including all his reincarnations."
The Once tragedy occurred on February 22, 2012, and 52 people died when a train failed to stop when it reached the Plaza Miserere station.
The legal case for the case demonstrated the negligence and corruption of the Kirchner government in maintaining the Sarmiento line and ended in convictions against former Minister Julio De Vido and former Secretary of Transportation Juan Pablo Schiavi and Ricardo Jaime.
And against the Cirigliano, businessmen who exploited the line.
