The controversy that arose this weekend between Miguel Pichetto and the Minister for Women, Gender and Diversity, Ayelén Mazzina, will escalate to INADI. This was stated this Sunday by the new director of the organization, Greta Penanoting that will convene the head of the General Audit of the Nation for “talk about the highly harmful implications of using stereotypes to settle, 40 years after democracy, public debates”. Not only that, Pena will also make “INADI’s legal teams analyze Pichetto’s words”, obviously to see if they are liable to lawsuits or accusations.
“The Ministry of Women is in the hands of a girl who is lesbian, they could have put a woman”, Pichetto had said on Friday night in an interview with Jonathan Avenue In the channel LN+, a talk aimed at “silence that vast feminist sectors had maintained before the murder of Lucio Dupuy” at the hands of a lesbian couple, that of the baby’s mother, Magdalena Espósito Valenti and Abigaíl Páez. The two women were sentenced this week to life imprisonment, after being found guilty of the torture and ordeal suffered by Lucio, who was beaten to death and was even sexually abused, in an episode that shocked the country.

Pichetto pointed out this Saturday, when the issue was already a trend in networks, that “given the misrepresentation of my statements on a television program, I want to clarify that my intention was to denounce that the Ministry of Women did not repudiate the murder of Lucio Dupuy because it coincided with the sexual orientation of the minister, with those of the perpetrators of the crime”, but these explanations did not convince Pena, who stressed “there are limits that we cannot cross”. It was then that Victoria Donda’s replacement reported that she would summon the former Peronist senator to INADI for that talk on “the harmful implications of stereotypes in public debates.”
It remains to be seen now what Pichetto will say about that meeting with Penaa subject on which he had not yet spoken at noon on Sunday on his social networks.
Pena highlighted that he instructed the INADI legal team to “analyze Pichetto’s public statements about Minister Mazzina”, in which he “associated a person’s sexual orientation and identity with their suitability or political position.”
After the demonstrations of pichetto in LN+, Mazzina had responded yesterday “I am a woman, lesbian, feminist and Minister of Women, Gender and Diversity of the Nation and I invite Pichetto to talk about ESI when he feels ready”, adding a meme of a girl with a surprised gesture to delimit “while, the lesbians watching Pichetto say that we are not women”. The controversy became one of the trends on Saturday on social networks, and even reached even broader limits, when among the posts and responses there were those who also questioned Mazzina, maintaining that, recognizing themselves as lesbians, “they did not perceive themselves as women “.
President Alberto Fernández himself got into this controversy, to support his minister yesterday afternoon, exalt his work in the portfolio of Women, Gender and Diversity to the minister, while he dedicated without naming him a ‘rocker’ critic to Pichetto , telling Mazzina that “the dinosaurs are going to disappear”, as the lyrics of the unforgettable creation by Charly García say.
“Proud Ayelén Mazzina, of the work you are doing,” said Alberto Fernández, and continued: “Closed minds do not admit the positive transformation that our society has experienced. We want more democracy, more rights and more respect in diversity. The dinosaurs already They are going to disappear, Charly García would say,” the President tweeted.
It was then that, without apologizing for his statements, Pichetto charged Mazzina again in a series of tweets in which he questioned the agenda of the ministry he heads by assuring that he follows “the agenda of minorities.” “The Minister of Gender and Diversity continues not to talk about Lucio Dupuy, the boy vilely raped and murdered by his mother and her partner. She also doesn’t talk about the death of the policewoman in the City of BS AS. That is not her agenda. Always minority agenda,” he posted.
Along the same lines, he stressed: “The agenda of the Ministry of Gender and Diversity is always at the service of minorities. The agenda of the previous minister was Milagro Sala and Mapuches, including Jones Huala. The current one is that of minorities more ideologized and exclusive”, concluded Pichetto. We will have to see now what he says about the INADI call, and the legal analysis that Pena promised from that body.
