Martin Menem He demonstrated this Saturday night against the use of state funds to hold artistic shows. She did it after the controversy unleashed between Javier Milei, Lali Espósito and the group of artists who supported the singer after the public exchanges she had with the President.
The president of the Chamber of Deputies expressed himself in this regard in Mirtha’s Night, a program in which he was a guest. In reality, he made “an addition” to the vision that the television host and model developed. Horacio Cabak.
“This week I gave my opinion a lot about the debate on the resources allocated to impoverishing governors for poor provincespaying cachets from international artists,” Cabak’s intervention began, after a specific question from Mirtha Legrad, the host of the night.
And he added: “It is not good at this moment in the country that an almost pornographic amount of moneyto hire a figure, whose cachet is well earned, when on the way back from that stage there are kids who don’t have sneakers, live on dirt streets and don’t have sewers or health care.”
“It is a debate that must be had. Is it okay for a governor who has his province in deficit and who does not guarantee a quality of life for the vast majority of his citizens to pay a fortune to an artist with the excuse of bringing joy to the population or an hour and a half? of culture?” said the entertainer.
Legrand tried to put a first and last name to Cabak’s questions. “Are you referring to Lali Espósito?” He asked her. “In all provinces there is a fact that involves a governor who allocates money to hire an expensive figure,” the guest returned.
It was there, when the driver was about to refer to the singer, where the president of the Chamber of Deputies intervened. “Can I add something to you?” Menem asked. And in response to the affirmative response, he emphasized: “In this neither at no time can we use taxpayers’ money for ourselvesthe rulers, choose the preference of the people.”
“If you like that artist, it is better that you pay less taxes and if you want you pay your entry to go see such an artist,” he explained.
Cabak then made another criticism. “What happens is that they casually choose artists who are ideologically aligned with the discourse,” he noted.
Menem, then, stated: “The thing is, if you are paying a cachet every week from the same political sector, you will automatically they align because it becomes a source of work”.
“It’s political propaganda“, the lawyer and businessman slipped while the journalist Silvia Fernández Barrio, another of the guests like Matías Bagnato, tried to provide her perspective. Then, with his sights set on the artists, he completed: “There is a nice statement behind which they hide. They say ‘you are attacking culture, art and artists.’”
