- Marcos Pereda, who posted on X on Sunday, said his daughter’s remarks do not reflect his views and reaffirmed his long support for Argentina’s cattle industry.
- The viral clip came from Ángeles y Demonios, where designer Milagros Pereda urged cutting meat and single-use plastics for environmental reasons.
- The video drew harsh replies on social media and then became fodder in the Rural Society’s internal fight between Pereda and president Nicolás Pino.
- In a TV interview on Monday, Pereda said he enjoys a steak and accused Pino’s faction of exploiting the episode as he again pressed to grow exports of Argentine beef.
- The dispute builds on earlier friction over a costly technology project and a call from Pereda’s camp for a forensic audit, with members set to choose leaders on September 9.
