Buenos Aires, December 18 (NA) — What began as an attempt to gauge public discontent ended in a comical blooper during live coverage. While reporting on marches in downtown Buenos Aires, tN reporter Giuli Salguero tried to interview an Australian tourist in English. According to the Argentine News Agency, during a tense day due to mobilizations in the City of Buenos Aires, the journalist was seeking testimonials from passersby affected by the vehicular chaos. In this context, she intercepted an Australian tourist, intending to get a critique of the country's situation, but the result was unexpected. Despite the tourist's willingness to express his point of view, communication became impossible for both the reporter on the street and the anchors in the studio. Salguero ventured to use English to ask for his opinion on the protest. Hearing the man speak slowly, the journalists interpreted that the visitor was "shocked" by the frequency of marches in Argentina. Far from showing indignation, the tourist tried to understand the reason for the protest and asked if it was a wage struggle. When he did not receive a clear answer from the journalist, the tourist firmly stated: "If this is for high wages, I agree." The most surreal moment occurred when, due to the language barrier, the anchors in the studio drew their own conclusions. "Sure, yes, it's a rarity," they commented, assuming the Australian shared their critical view, when in fact the tourist had just explicitly expressed his support for the workers' mobilization.
