Yamil Santoro crosses paths with César Biondini in the Buenos Aires debate: "This is the son of a Nazi speaking."
The Buenos Aires legislative debate reached a tense moment when Yamil Santoro , candidate for the Porteña Libertarian Union, responded harshly to attacks from César Biondini , candidate for the Federal Patriotic Front. During the question round, Biondini accused Santoro of being a " front man for Jorge Macri " and questioned whether his list was genuinely competing or merely seeking to divide the vote.
The remark included a personal dig: "You inherited the seat from Pampita's ex-husband," Biondini said, referring to Roberto García Moritán, who left his legislative post to take over as a Buenos Aires minister. This phrase sparked one of the sharpest responses of the evening.
Yamil Santoro just destroyed Biondini in the middle of his speech: "The son of a Nazi who inherited the party and the family kiosk... too bad they don't let you profit from the lists like your dad did."

" This is the son of a Nazi speaking , who inherited the party and actively runs the family kiosk," Santoro responded, referring to his opponent's father, Alejandro Biondini, known for his ties to far-right nationalist sectors. The statement was the most tense point of the debate, fraught with personal and political accusations.
The legislator didn't stop at personal matters. He reaffirmed his professional and political career: "I'm a lawyer, a master's student in public policy, and a doctoral candidate in administration. I've led a life of consistent work defending the ideas of freedom." He also recalled how his public commitment began after the Cromañón tragedy: "My best friend died. I founded the most important anti-corruption foundation in the country."
In another segment, he addressed social issues, such as the situation of retirees under Javier Milei 's administration. "My father is a plumber; he's going to retire on the minimum wage. His children are going to have to help him make ends meet," he said. The message sought to connect with the real difficulties faced by thousands of families.
Before closing, Santoro differentiated between those who, according to him, engage in politics for personal gain and those who seek to transform reality: "There are many who are scrutinizing themselves for a position who should go to therapy and not run for office," he said.
With this exchange, the Buenos Aires legislative debate was marked by a confrontational tone and tension between two candidates with opposing views. Santoro opted for a combination of personal narrative, ideological criticism, and direct confrontation. The result was one of the most talked-about moments of the meeting.
