Internal Power Struggle Rocks Argentine Journalists' Association

The Argentine Association of Television and Radio Journalists (APTRA) is going through turbulent times following a series of rumors about an internal power struggle allegedly involving Pilar Smith, Evelyn von Brocke, Marcelo Polino, and Susana Roccasalvo. Susana Roccasalvo downplayed the crisis, stating there is no strong internal conflict in APTRA and expressing her desire to become the association's president. In the show 'Intrusos', messages were read confirming that Marcelo Polino's sworn statement, detailing his earnings, was leaked to an internal chat, along with a comment suggesting his health insurance be revoked. Polino called this a 'witch hunt' and pointed fingers at Evelyn von Brocke. Meanwhile, Pilar Smith denied any communication about being removed from her position, confirmed she receives health insurance, and dismissed the critics as a small group without influence. She also mentioned that she has been asked to become president for the last 15 years.
