Jorge Macri took an actor to insult him in public and record it
The Buenos Aires City Mayor recorded a controversial video in which he confronts a young man who insults him in the middle of the public street.
The head of Government of the City of Buenos Aires, Jorge Macri, recorded a controversial viral video in which he confronts a young man who insults him in the middle of a public street.
The material, shared by his own communication team and related accounts, presents an exchange in which the Buenos Aires leader responds with calmness and determination to an insult directed at his mother.
However, the careful editing of the video and its rapid spread on social media make it clear that it could be a political setup designed to improve his image amid a context of growing discontent with his disastrous management.
The incident begins when Macri walks through the city, joined by his team and closely followed by the Buenos Aires Security Minister, Waldo Wolff. At that moment, a young man hurls an insult at him. "Fuck your mother!" Instead of ignoring it or continuing on his way, the head of Government stops, turns around, and chooses to confront him.

In the video, Macri, surrounded by police officers, asks: "Why are you so rude? Why 'fuck your mother'? What does my mom have to do with it?" The young man, visibly nervous about the situation, barely manages to say: "Oh, but you got upset. I just insulted you."
The conversation continues with Macri insisting that the insult should be directed at him and not his mother. "Insult me, not my mom," he responds firmly.
In the end, the young man replies: "Well. Thank you very much for everything you're doing. You're a jerk," to which Macri responds with a curt "Alright. You too." As the young man walks away, the head of Government finishes with a "you're rude."
The entire episode is recorded with impeccable image quality and editing that highlights Macri's supposed composure in the face of insults. To reinforce the message, Wolff, along with City Police officers, approaches the young man and has a conversation with him, although the content of this chat is not shown in the video.

An actor?
On social media, various users shared a video where the same young man who had the discussion with Jorge Macri can be seen.
In the recording, he is heard introducing himself as an actor and a member of the Sagai Foundation: "Hello, I'm Luciano Diani." In light of this, it's impossible not to wonder: Did Macri hire an actor for his fake confrontation in the public street?
The message he sought to convey is clear: Jorge Macri is presented as a politician who doesn't shy away from confrontations and, despite the insults, maintains his composure and offers a lesson in respect.
However, the excessive visibility of the incident and its impeccable audiovisual production reveal that the true objective is to turn a trivial exchange into a political marketing strategy.
