On Christmas Eve, Congresswoman Juliana Santillán, a member of the Libertad Avanza party, posted a video wishing her followers a happy Nochebuena. In the clip she recalled the early successes of Javier Milei's government and added the phrase ‘Happy Noche Buena de resurrección’. The expression drew attention because it mixes the Christmas celebration with Easter.
Public reaction was divided: some interpreted it as a metaphor for economic recovery, while others criticized the mixing of two holidays. The comment quickly went viral on social media and sparked a debate about political rhetoric during the festive season.
‘The Nochebuena celebrates the eve of the birth of Jesus, not his resurrection.’
