During the recent broadcast of Mirtha Legrand's program, radio host Edith Hermida criticized President Javier Milei's tax policies, claiming that he failed to deliver on his promises to reduce taxes. This led to an official rebuttal from the newly formed Office of Official Responses, which accused Hermida of lying. Following this exchange, Hermida expressed her shock and concern about the aggressive response she received from the government, stating on radio Mitre that such a reaction was unexpected and alarming.

The confrontation highlights the increasingly tense relationship between public figures and the current government in Argentina. The Office of Official Responses, launched under Milei's administration, appears to be actively engaging with criticisms and directly challenging the narratives presented by the media. Hermida’s remarks and the subsequent official response underscore the challenges reporters and commentators face when holding the government accountable in a politically charged environment.

This incident not only reflects the contentious political climate in Argentina but also raises questions about the role of media figures in democratic discourse and the response from the government to public criticism. As the government promotes its policies, it may need to find a balance between responding to critiques and respecting the freedom of speech that is essential in a democracy.
