The controversial opposition deputy referred to that meeting as a “sex scandal” and that generated a wave of rejections from different sectors, even from his own political space. “It seems to me that (Iglesias) used irony,” Bullrich said in the interview, arguing, “He made an irony that Florencia Peña was going to move the knob of the economy.” Finally, she concluded: “For this to be understood as gender violence, it seems to me that it is to put together the cover of the reality of the general problem.”
