The debate about Javier Milei's absence in Bahía Blanca after the devastating storm generated a strong discussion on La Nación Más. Journalist Esteban Trebucq questioned the president's decision not to visit the affected city, while congresswoman Lilia Lemoine defended his position by arguing that not everyone in Bahía Blanca is libertarian.
During Monday's broadcast, Trebucq recalled the case of the flooding in La Plata in 2013 when then-president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner traveled to the area, which was appreciated by those affected. He highlighted the importance of the gesture from a human perspective by mentioning: "It would have been nice for Milei to be in Bahía Blanca."
Lemoine, for her part, justified the president's absence and claimed that the physical presence of a president does not change the situation. She emphasized that, although she is not a supporter of Cristina, many people felt her presence as a form of support in difficult times.
The exchange became heated when Trebucq insisted that Milei's visit could have been a gesture of support for the victims, especially after the episodes in which Security Minister Patricia Bullrich was confronted in the city. Finally, Lemoine confirmed that she plans to go to the city, although she did not specify when.
The debate continues to generate repercussions in public opinion and the political arena, with divided opinions on the necessity of Milei's presence in the affected area. Lemoine concluded by stating that "there are people who would take it well and others who would not," downplaying the importance of the presidential trip and comparing it to Bullrich's visit.
