Traniela Campolieto, the first transgender captain of Aerolíneas Argentinas and Latin America, expressed her opinion regarding the Federal March, stating that she believes it: "is probably a distraction from more important issues" and that the call for Saturday is more like "a lobbying agenda" of the LGTBIQ+ collective.
In her statements to the Argentine News Agency, Campolieto shared that she has experienced discrimination and disdain from individuals within diversity organizations, mentioning that she has been treated inappropriately because she does not fit what they desire. In this sense, she expressed her wish for the collective to modernize, describing it as "precarious and outdated."
The captain, referring to her encounter with Javier Milei in Davos, noted that while the president had unfortunate mentions in his speech, there were also positive aspects to highlight. Regarding the possibility of meeting with Milei due to her interest in being the CEO of Aerolíneas Argentinas, she stated that she would like to meet him personally but that she currently cannot speak about it without the authorization of the state-owned company.
When asked if she identifies with the president and his speech, Campolieto affirmed: "I identify with Traniela, meaning me. I have everything saved, and the interviews are there." She also reflected on the situations of discrimination and insults she has faced for not attending collective events, reaffirming her right to live her life on her own terms.
In summary, Traniela Campolieto shared her opinions on the Federal March, her meeting with Javier Milei in Davos, her desire for modernization within the LGTBIQ+ collective, and the experiences of discrimination she has lived through, reaffirming her message of authenticity and freedom to lead her life on her own terms.
