The ex-secretary of Media of Néstor Kirchner,
Enrique "Pepe" Albistur
, came out with the tip caps against the journalist
Horacio Verbitsky
, who in two articles on his site "
The rocket to the moon
", spoke ill of his wife, the minister of Social Development,
Victoria Tolosa Paz
, whom he named with the nickname "Plastic Girl" on repeated occasions.
And
he not only answered him, but also insulted him
.
Spectator at the launch ceremony of the Néstor Kirchner Justicialista School (EJNK), Albistur was consulted by Verbitsky's Sunday column, in which he disqualified Tolosa Paz on several occasions.
"It seems to me that it's the same old Verbitsky shit
," he launched when he was leaving the Teatro Argentino de La Plata.
The journalist wrote about the presidential resignation and immediately made reference to the Minister of Social Development as a presidential protégé: "
And also his protégé, Victoria Tolosa Paz, summons Néstor Kirchner as a shield against his widow and son
."
But it did not stop there, in the same paragraph, Verbitsky mentions the possibility of Tolosa Paz to compete in an internal one and affirms: "
Defeated by La Cámpora in La Plata, Madame Albistur thinks big. Too big
."
And he later calls her "Plastic Girl from La Plata".
Those qualifications annoyed Albistur, who, when consulted by Verbitsky's column, tore it apart.
"It seems to me that
he is the same as always Verbitsky. In this case, he goes too machirulo,
a guy who has a rather dark history," said Albistur in dialogue with
AM 990
.
And Albistur concluded: "I don't know why some sectors of Peronism, some sectors of the militancy, have respect for him.
It will be because they do not know him, because he is a garbage person
."
The former Media Secretary of Néstor Kirchner was present at the theater to listen to Cristina Kirchner, who coincidentally named Victoria Tolosa Paz.
Inside the same room, in one of the boxes, was also Horacio Verbitsky, flanked by Senator Juliana di Tullio and the former Minister of Women, Elizabeth Gómez Alcorta.
Verbitsky's tension with the Albistur-Tolosa Paz couple is not triggered by a specific event from the past.
That is to say, it does not respond to an old quarrel in the convoluted media scenario of Kirchnerism, today full of internal crusades between albertistas and cristinistas.
Some associate the recurring derogatory mentions of the Dog to the minister (whom he called "enemy of the semicolon", "panelist" and now "plastic girl") with the friendship that unites the couple with the former Minister of Health, Ginés González García, at odds with the journalist after the VIP vaccination case.

However, sources close to Albistur point out that "there may have been a bad relationship since the 1970s, where many colleagues in the Peronist movement always had doubts about Verbitsky's role in those years."
"Perhaps Albistur was one of those colleagues who doubted the role of the journalist in those dark years," they acknowledged, referring to another of the phrases that the former media secretary K used on the radio to respond to the owner of the portal "The rocket to the moon ".
On the other hand, and in line with Albistur's "machirulo" criticism of Verbitsky, the sociologist, educator, former
honorary
adviser to President Alberto Fernández and a feminist reference, also had a post after the journalist's column.
"We remind communication professionals that
female candidates cannot be degraded with violent expressions
. Opposing a female candidacy cannot mean humiliating language," Barrancos posted.
Tolosa Paz did not talk about Verbitsky's column
Before entering the Teatro Argentino de La Plata, Tolosa Paz spoke to the press: "I want to remember that four years ago we were the government, none of the representatives of the Frente de Todos withdrew from space. We may have differences, but the coincidences have undoubtedly been greater than the dissidences and this must also be expressed".
Victoria Tolosa Paz, at the Cristina Kirchner event: "We may have differences, but the coincidences have undoubtedly been greater."
"I am convinced, knowing the President of the Nation and Cristina, that they will see again in that meeting the culmination of being able to start expressing the rules of the game," added the former deputy.
And he concluded: "Meanwhile all of us are part of the Political Front that makes an enormous effort to manage from our public responsibility but to continue activating the expansion and construction of the Political Front that we represent."
