Overview
- During the June 7 flash electoral broadcast on Latina with Ipsos, Delta said “the poorest population doesn’t have much to lose because they have nothing” while discussing preliminary results.
- The remark went viral and drew widespread social-media condemnation, with critics calling the phrasing classist and offensive.
- Streamer and presenter Eugenia Guevara and other media figures publicly rebuked Delta for what they described as a condescending tone toward rural voters.
- Delta posted a video apology on Latina’s social platforms saying the line “sounded terrible,” that she meant to condemn state neglect of the poor, and that she did not intend a classist insult.
- The episode has refocused attention on the strong rural vote for Roberto Sánchez, the narrow national flash margin reported by Ipsos, and growing scrutiny of how broadcasters frame poverty and electoral agency.
