Mirtha Legrand Refuses to State a Stance on Milei, Reunites On-Air With Nora Cárpena After Two Decades

The program underscored her sway as a cultural arbiter who prefers ambiguity to alignment.

Overview

  • Asked directly by guest Santiago Maratea if she likes President Javier Milei, Legrand replied, “No te voy a contestar,” declining to take a position.
  • Nora Cárpena returned to the table after roughly 20 years and said Legrand had her “prohibida,” with both women using the broadcast to close their long-running rift.
  • Legrand said the only major political figure she wished she had interviewed was Juan Domingo Perón, adding she would have asked him if he was a happy man.
  • She recalled voting in the first national election with women’s suffrage and the program aired archival footage of her casting a ballot in 1951.
  • Legrand revisited her claim of having been prohibited from television during a period of democracy, as the episode featured Maratea, Cárpena, Diego Sehinkman, Luciano Cáceres and Mora Godoy.
