Patricia Bullrich
and
Jorge Lanata
starred in a
tense moment
when they crossed paths on television regarding the accusation made by Javier Milei against the journalist, about whom he suggested that he receives “envelopes” to “lie.” In this context,
the driver also confirmed
his idea of
denouncing the President
for having accused him of a crime and it was the Minister of Security who came out to ask that the judicial action be stopped:
"Stop the lawsuit, Jorge, and let's go another way."
Invited by the program
La ves
, which is broadcast on
Todo Noticias
, the protagonists of this dialogue referred to the event that led to an upcoming judicial confrontation between Lanata and Milei:
the presence of the Israeli ambassador, Eyal Sela, on Sunday night in Casa Rosada
when the emergency Cabinet meeting was preparing to begin due to the Iranian drone bombing against Israel.
Bullrich promised the journalist that
he will personally intercede
in the conflict to try to prevent it from being resolved in court.
“I promise to talk about it with the President of the Nation.
It is a moment that we Argentines have to be united and together,” the minister told Lanata, with the intention of making him desist from her complaint.
The journalist thanked the gesture, but clarified that
he is continuing the dialogue with his lawyers to file a lawsuit for slander and insults against the President
next Wednesday. In that instance, Bullrich burst in with an imperative message, which he later managed to soften as the dialogue continued
: “Stop the lawsuit, Jorge, stop the lawsuit and let's go another way
. ”
“If we can avoid this,
I prefer to avoid it.
Now I also
want the President to say that he was wrong because if he doesn't make a difference
," responded Lanata, who did not confirm that he will back down with his intention to judicialize the issue.
This Monday morning,
Lanata criticized the presence of the diplomat in a meeting
that - he considered - only national officials should have attended. He did so with the information that
the Presidency's press office
had distributed on Sunday night where they reported Sela's presence, but did not clarify that it was only to provide diplomatic information about the conflict and that he withdrew before the conversation began. between ministers.
In the same order,
spokesperson Manuel Adorni
spoke of the ambassador's participation "in the Cabinet meeting" on Sunday night, in a press conference with him from the Casa Rosada.
It would be good for the larretist Lanata to be well informed about the meeting.
Jorge, don't lie. At the meeting, the ambassador told the official vision of Israel and then left, thus beginning the formal meeting of the CC.
Criticisms yes. Not lies.

.
Bullrich insisted on reporting that the Israeli ambassador had not participated in the dialogue between the ministers, but
Lanata stressed that it was the same Government
that reported that the diplomat
had been during the meeting.
And the driver continued: “This morning the Government rectified it and said that it had only been at the beginning of the meeting.
It wasn't something that occurred to me.
It was the Government that said that the ambassador had been during the meeting without clarifying whether he was a part of the meeting.
Bullrich said that “perhaps” the Presidency
did not clarify that there was a “pause”
between the moment the ambassador gave his report and the start of the Cabinet meeting. “I can assure you Jorge that it was like that,” he stressed.
Lanata preferred to focus on Milei's statements and the accusation against him. “The President accuses me and other journalists of committing crimes and that
seems outrageous to me,
it is something that we
cannot let go
. We don't do that with politicians. If I accuse someone of a crime it is because I can prove it; If not, I don't do it,” she reflected.
Bullrich tried, in turn,
to exonerate the president
by stating that there have been “very tense, very hard situations” since Saturday afternoon with the Iranian attack on Israeli territory, while adding that
“perhaps there is a style of the President that is very frank, very direct.”
But Lanata, who highlighted that he has had this type of dialogue with Bullrich for 20 years, was not convinced by the relativization of the fact: "The frank style cannot be to assign a crime to another person."
