The driver asked the artists “let’s let them take off their masks” and directly targeted Darín, who had supported INCAA’s activities.

“Darín said: ‘Believing that what happens in our country depends on the artistic sector is an illusion'”launched Fantino on his radio program, alluding to the actor’s words.

And he attacked: “There is something even more superb in Darín… Does he support this theory that everything that is known about Argentina is known through cinema? In other words, they don’t know Argentina for our successes … we know it for the cinema. Look at the arrogance these guys have, eh?”

«It takes it for granted that those who voted for Milei believe that the country is like this because of them, because of the actors. Let’s go back to them and to us. It would be nice if (the actors) took off their masks and recognize, because there are many people who have been excluded,” he lamented.

Then, Alejandro referred to some old statements from Darín in which he assured that it was enough for him “Take two hot showers a day.”

“I saw him play at Vilas (Racket Club), he couldn’t get in with the BM (because of the car the artist had). He had the Pink Panther car. I always saw him at Vilas, he didn’t have I played on a brick dust court at a country club, I played Racket,” he continued, referring to the selected club.

And he adds: “I would miss the two showers with hot water. Obviously just the two showers with hot water are not enough. So I understand that there has been little cinema here lately, but a lot of smoke. I don’t even eat one anymore. And then I know them almost all of them, unfortunately. A lot of smoke.”

What were Ricardo Darín’s statements that angered Alejandro Fantino?

Ricardo Darín He was present at the special screening of the film Rest in Peace and there, in an interview with Clarín, he referred to the state cuts that fall on the National Fund for the Arts and the National Institute of Cinema and Audiovisual Arts (INCAA).

“Griselda (Siciliani) was being interviewed in Malaga and the journalist told her: “What can you tell me about Argentina?” “Everything I know about Argentina I know through cinema.” And she said just that. «So you know Argentina practically from the movies? Well, thank you”, began the artist.

Outraged, he added: “To believe that this has been happening in our country for many decades the pulverization of education, the pulverization of real work, the number of people who are below the poverty line, which are all not deplorable, very deplorable, very horrible things, they depend on a sector which is the artistic one, it is a delusion. “It’s simply a delusion.”

“It would be good if both on one side and the other took good advice and sat at the same discussion table, because we want to build a country that moves forward and the positions are understood and a point of balance is reached and things are not listened to absurd things you hear out there,” he concluded.
