We hadn't seen each other for 25 years, but the ones we spent together were the most intense moments of my professional life. I learned a lot from him. And I loved him very, very much.
And it was in that publication that undesirable replicas arrived.
Most of them, lambasting the recently disappeared writer and journalist
for having participated and hosted the 678 program
, emblem of Kirchnerism.
"

Several of the aggressive responses to the tweet also accused Caparrós of some type of falsehood for speaking of a "bosom friend", but having not seen his old partner for 25 years.
The truth is that Caparrós and Dorio
were part of two programs that remained in the minds of many fans
.
The first of them was Belgrano's Dream of a Night, on the radio, at the return of democracy.

His time on 678, which was broadcast on Public TV from 2009 to December 2015, was two years, being the host from 2013 until the end of its broadcast.
"
Having driven 678 took away my work
... Although I really enjoyed that experience a lot. I think I did a good job, I am happy with what I did during that period. I know that many people found my participation annoying and displeased and from They didn't give me any more attention there," he acknowledged in an interview with Clarín.
In any case, he admitted that "678 he would do it again and again" and said that "it is more honest" to say your ideology and from there give your opinion, "than to dress up according to what suits you best."
