Buenos Aires, November 19 (NA) – Mariana Brey sparked controversy by commenting on the La Renga show after Javier Milei incorporated one of their songs into various rallies and presentations. According to the Argentine News Agency, the journalist stated that the band benefited from the visibility that President Milei gave them. "They should thank Milei, my God," Brey declared, convinced that the repeated use of one of the group's songs in official events prompted part of the public that did not know them to start searching for their music. Later, the panelist admitted that she cannot identify the band members' faces: "I don't know the singers' faces, they are not Cerati, Calamaro, or Fito Páez, whom you know who they are," she commented honestly. Brey also acknowledged that although she has known of La Renga's existence for years, she is not part of its fan base: "I know La Renga exists, but it's not a band I follow, I still like their songs," she clarified. Finally, the journalist insisted that the band gained extra exposure thanks to the President: "He put them in the spotlight the day he chose one of their songs to play at every opportunity he could," she concluded. The statements sparked debate on social media, where La Renga fans defended the group's history and questioned Brey's perspective.
