Overview
- The confrontation unfolded Tuesday on A24 during an interview with union delegate Norma Lezana and laboratory worker Maximiliano Bares from Hospital Garrahan.
- The exchange stemmed from debate over a government-announced 60% salary increase and earlier fixed bonuses, with the workers saying delays had triggered resignations and damaged hospital teams.
- Eduardo Feinmann accused the guests of trying to overthrow the government and labeled them “golpistas,” citing Lezana’s recent candidacy with the Left Front.
- Lezana and Bares rejected the accusations, defended their union activism as a fight for fair pay, and stressed that their actions were not aimed at toppling a government.
- Tensions escalated when Bares asked about the host’s salary, prompting Feinmann’s retort “What the hell do you care?,” as he also invoked Cristina Kirchner during the back-and-forth.
