Overview
- On Wednesday, Alejandro Sarubbi Benítez spoke on the Carajo program La Trinchera and proposed sterilizing residents, building a 15‑meter wall with snipers, expelling or making Buenos Aires province independent, and bombing the conurbano with napalm while other panelists laughed and approved.
- Video of the broadcast spread quickly on social media and prompted widespread repudiation from users and commentators who called for legal scrutiny of the violent and discriminatory proposals.
- SAO Medialunas, whose logo appeared during the transmission, issued a public statement saying it does not endorse discriminatory or violent messages and distanced the brand from the program’s content.
- Sarubbi Benítez defended himself on X with aggressive replies to critics, and his remarks follow a recent professional sanction from the Colegio Público de la Abogacía de la Capital Federal for insulting Supreme Court judges.
- No criminal charges have been reported so far, but the episode raises reputational risk for Carajo and its sponsors and could trigger further investigations by regulators or prosecutors and additional professional discipline.
