The appointment of Diego Santilli as the new Minister of the Interior has sparked a wave of reactions in the political arena, but one of the most striking came from his ex-partner and journalist, Nancy Pazos. Despite Pazos's well-known critical stance on Santilli's political career, the father of her children, the communicator used her social media to issue a strong and favorable opinion on the appointment. Pazos did not hesitate to describe the appointment as an 'excellent move' by the government, highlighting that the action 'adds professionalism and dialogue' to the current administration. In addition to evaluating Santilli's management skills, the journalist analyzed the political consequences of the appointment. According to her, Santilli's move to the Cabinet not only strengthens the ruling party but also has a direct effect in Congress: 'It takes a deputy away from PRO and gives one more to LLA'. In this context, Pazos threw an indirect reference at former President Mauricio Macri, indicating that the key question was whether he was 'happy or not' with the decision, which implies a reshuffling of seats. The journalist also referred to the possible criticism of Santilli leaving his deputy's seat shortly after being elected. Pazos distanced herself from the controversy over 'placeholder candidates', stating: 'I never criticized placeholder candidates'. 'I don't know why I should do it now,' she finally said. The communicator then shifted the focus of criticism back to other prominent figures, mentioning journalist Cristina Pérez: 'The one you should ask about that is @Cris_noticias, who did speak out against it and almost had an allergic reaction'.
