Deputy Juliana Santillán Deletes Viral Christmas Video After “Resurrection” Mix-Up

The since-removed post drew context notes on X, reviving questions about the La Libertad Avanza deputy’s credibility.

Overview

  • Juliana Santillán’s video wished a “Feliz Nochebuena” and a “Navidad de resurrección,” a phrasing widely read as confusing Christmas with Easter.
  • The clip rapidly surpassed 400,000 views with thousands of interactions before she deleted it hours later.
  • X appended reader-added context clarifying that Christmas celebrates Jesus’ birth, while the Resurrection is commemorated at Easter.
  • Despite the removal, users had already downloaded and reposted the video, and no apology or further explanation from Santillán was reported.
  • Coverage linked the episode to past misstatements, including her June claim understating INDEC’s basic family basket, while some supporters cast “resurrección” as a political metaphor for economic recovery.
