Overview
- Enzo Ferreira, the coordinator of Radio Nacional Tucumán and a local La Libertad Avanza figure, reposted messages calling Mercedes Sosa a “gorda comunista” and “un cáncer,” which spread widely Friday.
- The Ente Cultural de Tucumán issued its strongest repudiation, saying the remarks were an attack on the province’s culture and identity.
- Sosa’s family published an open letter that asked for Ferreira’s resignation from the station that carries the singer’s name.
- Ferreira has not retracted the posts and said on X they were old retweets and pieces of “dark humor.”
- Relatives said they are exploring legal steps and recalled a past dispute over the station’s Mercedes Sosa plaque, a history that stokes worry about political meddling in cultural symbols.
