Buenos Aires, April 12 — A moment of deep emotion occurred in Mirtha Legrand's show when actress Belén Francese broke down in tears while referring to the death of a 4-year-old child in Comodoro Rivadavia. The scene, captured on video, quickly went viral due to the rawness of the testimony and the live reaction. During the broadcast, Francese expressed her anguish and indignation over the case, which has Ángel López as the victim, and sharply criticized the lack of response from the state. "This is abominable," she stated before completely breaking down, a testimony that reflected the social impact of the case and reopened the debate on the protection of childhood in Argentina. "A child cannot die under any circumstances," she exclaimed between tears, visibly affected by the news, which she said she could not even finish reading due to the emotional impact it has on her. The case, which has shaken the entire country, occurred in the Chubut province, where the minor was admitted to a hospital with vital signs after suffering a cardiorespiratory arrest, but died after remaining hospitalized for two days. The judicial investigation is advancing under the hypothesis of a possible homicide, after recent injuries were detected in the brain area. In this context, the actress took advantage of the television space to make the problem visible and demand urgent measures.
