Telefe On-Air Clash Over Milei’s Budget Prompts Legal Threat From Nancy Pazos

Pazos says she was falsely branded a “golpista” during a heated debate over the lifting of currency controls.

Overview

  • Nancy Pazos said on her radio program that she plans to take legal action after being called “golpista” by fellow panelist Mariana Brey.
  • The confrontation unfolded on Telefe’s A la Barbarossa during analysis of President Javier Milei’s cadena nacional presenting the 2026 Budget.
  • Brey accused Pazos of being part of an opposition seeking to prevent Milei from finishing his term, and Pazos replied with insults that included “pelotuda” and “andá a cagar.”
  • The dispute centered on Milei’s removal of currency controls, which Brey defended and Pazos called a “lie” that she said cost La Libertad Avanza electoral support.
  • Host Georgina Barbarossa and other panelists intervened to calm the exchange, the segment spread widely on social media, and some outlets reported the show’s production was weighing how to respond.
