Then he makes a “first clarification”, which he indicates as “the most important”. “I was not referring to the provisional vice president of the Senate, elected by popular vote, but to another person,” she said, adding that in his opinion he was “not on the air.”
“That’s not what I think of Vice President VillarruelNot at all, in addition to the respect that must be shown to institutional investitures”, the journalist remarked in his defense.
Di Matteo hoped, in this sense, that Villarruel would read his message and “know firsthand that he was in no way talking about himself.”
At the same time he made a “second clarification”. “This situation arose due to the labor conflict that the América group has been experiencing with the Argentine Television Union (SATSAID) for more than a week. A conflict that, as part of the journalistic staff, is foreign to me. And, for everyone’s sake, I would like this to be resolved soon,” she explained.
