Mirtha Legrand harshly questioned the Government for the attempt to close the INCAA and the Gaumont cinemaand rejected the possibility that both spaces would stop working. At the same time, he targeted the president Javier Milei due to the economic pricing policy and the increase in the cost of living since he took office.
While some guests highlighted the need for more rigorous control over resources, they agreed that closure is not the appropriate solution.
Mirtha Legrand against the Government: she defended INCAA and the Gaumont cinema
The discussion on the program revolved around the adjustment measures in the INCAA and criticism of the Government of Javier Milei for his alleged disinterest in the national film industry.
During his television program “Mirtha’s night”Legrand expressed his concern for the future of cinema, urging the artistic community to unite to prevent its closure.
“Don’t let the Gaumont close, guys. The people of the environment have to exert strength, we have to do something so that it doesn’t close.”remarked the driver.
In her comment, Chiqui highlighted the importance of preserving this cultural heritage and praised the current conditions of the Gaumont cinema, calling it “splendid” and “in very good condition.”
“What can it cost to maintain the Gaumont cinema? I went recently, it is splendid, in very good condition, it’s a shame. The thing about the Film Institute (INCAA) too. It’s terrible”said the actress and host, who turned 97 last month.
“If there was someone who stole, well, outside, don’t give them any more credit,” the driver justified.
Mirtha Legrand criticized Javier Milei’s adjustment policy
The diva also referred to the vision that she believes Javier Milei’s Government has on art in general and cinema in particular. “It gives a feeling of resentment, of not loving Argentine cinema, of not valuing it,” she expressed.
“Many people have been left without jobs. Life can no longer be lived because of the price of food,” added Legrand, in relation to the economic situation.
The actress Catherine Fulop and actor Gabriel “Puma” Goity supported Legrand’s positionwith the latter calling any closure attempt “savage and barbaric.”
However, journalist Ceferino Reato presented a broader analysis, pointing out historical tensions between the Government and the arts sector, while advocating for a more moderate approach to cultural policies.
