Buenos Aires, Dec 2 (NA) -- Luis Ventura, president of the Argentine Television Journalists Association (APTRA), once again referred to the rivalry he has maintained with Jorge Rial for several years. This came after the 2025 Martín Fierro Cable Awards ceremony, which Rial did not attend. "I always knew he wasn't going to come. He sent Brancatelli to say he didn't want to lose his consistency. I didn't," Ventura stated. "I expected nothing from him. What could he have offered me? Where is he? What is he doing?" he added. During an interview on the show 'Intrusos,' Ventura continued his criticism: "The great hypocrite wasn't there." He also commented on rumors about Rial's possible return to the channel: "Not in the basement, not on the rooftop, nowhere. I don't know about his return. Jorge enjoys nothing," Ventura analyzed.
