Overview
- The streaming channel OLGA published an extended prison interview with Nahir Galarza conducted by Nati Jota and Paulo Kablan that was widely circulated after its release on Tuesday.
- Galarza said she accepts responsibility for Fernando Pastorizzo’s death but insisted the shooting was not premeditated and described the event as occurring during a violent argument.
- She disclosed sensitive personal details, saying she underwent an abortion two months before the killing that she believes her parents forced, and said she now studies Social Psychology and leads activities in the Paraná prison.
- The interview triggered criticism over media ethics and platforming of convicted offenders, and Paulo Kablan publicly defended the journalists’ work and their handling of a difficult interviewee.
- Panelists and commentators pointed to contradictions between Galarza’s current statements and past interviews, and production reporting said she received clothing rather than payment for an earlier televised appearance.
