translated from Spanish: Patricia Sosa: “A governor offered me a million and a half dollars to be vice president”

A few years ago, the artist and singer Patricia Sosa, popularly known for her music and also for her solidarity profile and commitment to different civil associations, received in 2015 a proposal that she strongly rejected: to accompany the presidential formula of a politician occupying the position of “Vice President”. The decision is not regretted, but it is encouraged to count the proposal years later. The opportune moment for his confession was this Saturday in Podemos Hablar, a program that airs on Telefe. Patricia did not hesitate to move to the re-meeting point when Andy Kusnetzoff summoned “those who once lost a significant sum of money.” After confessing that she had turned down a very interesting offer to pose naked for Playboy Magazine, she surprised everyone present with the unexpected story.” Once I get a proposal, I’m not going to give names, from a governor. A proposal to form the presidential formula with him,” she said, exclaiming the driver in amazement. “The same thing I said, ‘What? was El Chabón and Patricia Sosa. Me, vice president. Do you understand?” he went on to explain. First he thought it was funny. “I thought it was a joke, obviously, ” noted Patricia. But the official insisted and, as she refused to enter the candidacy, her economic proposal was increasing. “It came up to a million five hundred thousand dollars,” the singer revealed. Once again, the driver made an exclamation point, implying that he could not believe what his guest was saying. “Did you hear? A million five hundred thousand dollars,” Patricia repeated to clear up all sorts of doubts. And she confessed that her husband, Oscar Mediavilla, called her to say, “Look, think about it”.How did the story end? “I was for Santa Fe touring. I remember we were on the mike and I was swollen with this. Until the governor’s secretary calls me and says, ‘The governor says where he is, that he knows he’s in Santa Fe, and that he’s going to go with his helicopter to meet you.’ And I said, ‘It’s just that here it’s cut, hello, hello….’ I cut and turned off (the phone), ” recounted the singer. Patricia had warned that she would not reveal the identity of the official in question. However, between Andy and Claudia Fontán, another of the guests to the show, they took care of taking some clues out of him. What year was it? “Not this last choice, in the other, ” said the singer implying that it had been in 2015.Who was the governor? You think: advertising, we with musicians, Carlitos Balá had to do it, Patricia replied. And he joked, “Imagine me, President of the Senate. They all get nervous to argue and I: ‘Breathe, breathing… Dedicated for those who are…. Let’s see the hands senators… Desperate.’ What is this ridiculousness?” At that time, and ready to take the name of the politician in question, the Gunda asked him about the geographical region of the province. “Northwest Argentinian, Cuyo?” he consulted. And there were no more doubts when the singer acknowledged that it started with “San.” Are they two brothers?” Andy confirmed. And Patricia said yes, while explaining why she said the publicity would make her Bala. “It comes out and says, ‘Saasosa, Saasosa….'” At the time, the driver bleached that they were talking about the Rodríguez Saá. Although it was unclear whether she was referring to Alberto, current governor of St. Louis, or Adolphus, who held that position in the past, because by the time the offer would have occurred the one who was in office was Claudio Poggi.Without wanting to give more details, Patricia closed the subject saying: “This is a bomb. A vice president of excellence has been lost.” But he then assured that he has no interest in holding a public office because, he explained, “politics is ageing.”
