Tense exchange between Mirtha Legrand and Fabiola Yáñez over quarantine party

Mirtha Legrand and Fabiola Yáñez starred in a moment of maximum tension on Saturday night in 'La Noche de Mirtha', when the host harshly reproached the former First Lady for the birthday party held in Olivos during the strict quarantine. Mirtha stated: 'I saw it on television... I saw how they carried the coffin in a cart'. However, she also took aim at the former president: 'Well, he was the first to say he was not present, and then he said 'my dear Fabiola did such a thing'. I could not attend,' Mirtha recalled at the table. The tense exchange began with Mirtha's direct question: 'Fabiola, the birthday celebration in the middle of a pandemic, did you organize it?'. But Mirtha interrupted her: 'But I saw a photo with a glass in hand, eh... it is supposed that you are toasting'. The former First Lady reiterated her apologies: 'I will never tire of apologizing to all Argentines'. Yáñez denied it: 'No, I did not organize it,' and assured that 'they were people who were working in the quinta'. The host did not accept the excuse: 'Fabiola... I am helping you to confess everything, eh'. Yáñez insisted: 'It was not a toast that I organized, it was not a party or what was shown'. 'They were toasting while I saw my sister's coffin on television,' the diva launched, visibly affected. Spain 'extinguished' Fabiola Yáñez's residence due to a claim by Alberto Fernández. As learned by Noticias Argentinas, Mirtha's twin sister, Silvia 'Goldie' Legrand, died on May 1, 2020. Due to the strict isolation decreed by Alberto Fernández, the host 'never could say goodbye to her in person'. I know I was in that place and I felt bad'. I know it should not have been done'.
