In an intense live debate during the show "A la Barbarossa", Nancy Pazos shared a personal experience related to the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, backed by President Javier Milei. The situation created a strong counterpoint with her colleague Mariana Brey, who had previously received proposals to run as a candidate for La Libertad Avanza.
Pazos expressed her concern regarding the lack of details about the risks associated with the currency, highlighting that the president should also take responsibility for promoting it. In this regard, she raised the question: "Why is my son negligent for trusting the currency and the president is not?".
The discussion became tenser when Brey defended Milei's stance, pointing out that he had only recommended the cryptocurrency and had not directly encouraged investing in it. In response to this statement, Pazos mentioned the specific case of her son, Teo Santilli Pazos, as an example of the harms suffered due to $LIBRA.
"I’ll tell you a name, Teo Santilli Pazos, my son," Pazos replied to Brey, insisting that those who invested without properly researching were responsible for their negligence. However, she acknowledged the need to conduct thorough research to clarify what happened.
Despite the differences between the panelists, both agreed on the importance of thoroughly investigating the matter to better understand the situation. The controversy sparked by the case of Teo Santilli Pazos highlighted the debate surrounding the promotion of cryptocurrencies and the need for greater transparency regarding the risks involved in their use.
