Ricardo Canaletti’s energetic defense after the tough confrontation with Esteban Trebucq

Following the DNU that he presented Javier Milei In his first days in office, Ricardo Canaletti (68) and Esteban Trebucq (47) were involved in a strong argument, this Friday broadcast on very morning (El Trece, Monday to Friday at 9am), provoking the furious reaction of the police specialist, who ended up abandoning the apartment.

The driver of The cruel truth (La Nación+) kicked off the series led by Carmen Barbieri to talk about the Decree of Necessity and Urgency (DNU) published a few days ago in the Official Journal to deregulate the economy. But in the middle of the note he encountered the speaker, who indignantly rebuked Pelado for his attitude.

After the strong confrontation he had with Trebucq, the TN journalist left the studio visibly upset together with his colleague. After a short while, when Barbieri fired the host of El Observador Radio from his cell phone, Canaletti returned to the commission and there defended himself about what had happened a few minutes earlier.

“What happened?– asked Carmen, who tried at all times to calm things down between the two journalists. Then Ricardo, still a little nervous after the clash with Trebucq, managed to reply: “I have to drink some water”.

“But have you become so nervous? Don’t you like that boy?”, asked the host of the El Trece morning series. “Journalism cannot be journalists’ journalism, let’s start there. Our goal is not this guy, it’s not this ‘dolape’. Our focus is on you who are there,” she said, pointing to the camera and speaking to the audience.

“This is why we need to clarify this to you, as much as possible, because television sometimes gets dark. The DNU is carried out in extraordinary, sudden matters, where there is a constitutional emergency. It is a decree of necessity and urgency. In this case these conditions do not exist, beyond the fact that much or a good part of the content of the DNU can be shared,” he added, now calmer.

“What should I have done? “Send law by law and the game will be over” the journalist continued, wondering about the strategy adopted by Milei to counter the difficult economic moment the country is experiencing.

Then Canaletti added: “From Rosas to here there is a national Constitution which is our political charter. I respect it and I know that the Constitution has defects. For example, article 15, talks about slaves. They made a reform in 1994 to give it “An extra mandate for Menem. They incorporated all international treaties into the Constitution and abandoned Article 15. That reform was an eminently political issue. It’s not like they were thinking about you (and he pointed out, speaking to the camera).”

Even though Trebucq had been off the air for several minutes, Ricardo was still angry about the confrontation with his colleague and stressed: “Journalists shouldn’t behave like this guy. She told him (through Carmen) that it is a decree that has 300 articles that refer to many laws and he said ‘And?’. “This is not an answer.”

“The Constitution is clear, what does it say? That the executive power, the one that exercises the first judiciary, as it is called, cannot legislate, cannot issue provisions on matters that fall to the Congress. What are the issues? Precisely the elaboration” of laws on different aspects: fiscal, criminal, customs. What did this DNU do? He legislated on matters that are up to Congress,” she explained.

“It turns out that if you send a bill by law or an omnibus bill to Congress, you have 38 legislators, they are not going to approve anything,” Canaletti concluded, closing the topic.
