Mariana Brey Tells La Renga To Thank Milei After Stage Mockery, Prompting Backlash

Her on-air defense of the president revived debate over the band’s push to keep Panic Show out of politics.

Overview

  • On Fractura Expuesta (Carnaval Stream), Mariana Brey said La Renga should “thank” Javier Milei and admitted she did not recognize the singer’s face.
  • The clip of her remarks spread widely on social media, where many users emphasized the band’s multi-decade standing in Argentine rock.
  • The uproar followed La Renga’s Luján show on November 15, where a performer in a Milei mask and leather jacket appeared onstage during Panic Show.
  • Since 2023 Milei has used Panic Show at rallies and appearances, while La Renga opposes the association and says it pursued all legal avenues to stop it.
  • Bassist Gabriel “Tete” Iglesias has called the use “stolen,” and Brey’s comments arrive as she faces renewed scrutiny after recent on-air disputes, including with journalist Nancy Pazos.
