Mirtha Legrand (97) returned to politics and sent a direct message to the president Javier Milei. After interviewing him, the host asked the government not to close the Gaumont cinema.

A few days ago, a workers’ demonstration of Culture in front of the historic cinema, as a sign of protest against the adjustments in the INCAA and other entities in the sector, in addition to possible closure of Gaumont. Artists such as Leonardo Sbaraglia, Mirta Busnelli and Víctor Laplace participated in the event.

Three people were arrested after the riots, waiting for a definition of Justice, ed there were two police officers injured. The protesters, however, reported that a motorist hit a person.

After what happened, Mirtha Legrand expressed her opinion on cutting the culture budget during the live broadcast of Mirtha’s night (El Trece, Saturday 9.30pm). “How much will it cost to maintain the Gaumont cinema? “It’s terrible,” the host opened. “It’s terrible, savage, barbaric,” he added Puma Goità.

“I went recently and it’s in beautiful condition, It’s a shame. And also the Film Institute thing. If there’s someone who stole, get out. Credit is no longer given to that,” continued La Chiqui. “My brother was a man of cinema and was president of the Mar del Plata Film Festival. He had a car with a driver who came to pick him up every day but He never used it, he went by bus“, He added.

“You know what happens, this is it The previous government spent so much and stole so muchand in the INCAA they have spent so much and badly, that many people are sensitive to speeches that, I don’t like, but are effective”, he intervened. Ceferino Crime. “I believe that nothing should be closed, because there must be cinema. We we must defend our culture“It’s very important to have an identity,” he continued.

And he added: “But you have to spend well, last year 243 films were made and 70% did not have a thousand spectators. Many were not released, there was no control. People don’t go to see movies when they’re bad and ideological. It seems to me that the situation must change.”

Then, Mirtha added: “Don’t close Gaumont. Environmentalists must exert their strength, something must be done. And let those in government take care so that they don’t steal too.

Catherine Fulop, another of the guests, decided to give her opinion on the matter. “What I feel is that the films are all with actors who spoke openly about a certain ideology. People are not stupid, they realize it.” “But we must also recognize the films that have been screened at various festivals “It is a source of pride for Argentina.”The driver interrupted him.

The strong crossover between Puma Goity and Ceferino Reato

“This is not the solution, you can’t close INCAA. If you have mice in your house, take them out but don’t demolish the house,” said Goity. Crime then spoke again: “You know what’s happening, the Macri government was very dialogic and the actors as a collective were against him since day one. “They were very proud of Kirchnerism.”

“There are many actors. If you say that it seems to me that we are in trouble because that is not the case. Beyond the fact that some of us have this sympathy, there are many others who do not. It seems very senseless to me to say “since these are K, we will close INCAA”. You are cutting the thinnest thread and leaving out the most important thing”, denied the actor, visibly angry.

Mirtha then spoke again: “I notice a sensation of resentment towards what cinema generates”.

Finally Ceferino closed: “The Argentine Actors Association has made excessive statements against Macri and in favor of Kirchnerism. And many actors who were not Kirchnerists did not find work. Milei is an intelligent person, I think he will find a way around the problem. “But he will need a lot of support.”
