The former Argentine president, Mauricio Macri, was involved in an incident in public where he confronted a young man who insulted him, triggering an intense debate. In a video that circulated on social media, Macri can be seen with other officials approaching the young man to ask him why he was insulting him, scolding him for his behavior and calling him "rude and cowardly."
"Why are you insulting me? Why are you cursing at my mom? Do you think it’s okay to talk like that?" Macri stated firmly during the interaction. Deputy Waldo Wolff also joined the confrontation with the young man before the video ended.
The former president's direct reaction generated various comments on social media, where some praised his strong response, while others speculated about the authenticity of the encounter. Speculations arose suggesting that the young man could be an actor, thus questioning the spontaneous nature of the incident.
Although there were those who valued Macri's calmness in the tense situation, criticisms also emerged considering the video as part of an ineffective strategy. On social media, figures like libertarian influencer Daniel Parisini, known as "el Gordo Dan," mocked the video, questioning the way the political campaign was being conducted.
