Overview
- On Wednesday, Feinmann told his audience he was sorry for his conduct during the segment, saying he watched the exchange and "didn’t like" what he saw, while stressing he was not apologizing to the guests and referring to some unionists as "gentuza."
- The clash unfolded Tuesday on A24 during an interview with union delegate Norma Lezana and lab worker Maximiliano Bares as Feinmann pressed them on a government-announced 60% raise following fixed monthly bonuses in September.
- Lezana and Bares said they welcomed the increase but argued delays prompted resignations and left teams strained at the pediatric hospital.
- The exchange escalated as Feinmann accused Lezana of being a political candidate and trying to topple the government, said workers "used the children," and brought up Cristina Kirchner with disparaging comments.
- Tension peaked when Bares asked about the host’s salary and Feinmann shot back, "What the hell do you care?", after which the guests accused him of "McCarthyism," and reports note no official responses or policy changes tied to the broadcast.
