Argentine President Javier Milei publicly criticized actress Florencia Peña for spreading false information regarding the death of Lionel Messi’s father. Peña reported the inaccurate news, prompting widespread concern before it was debunked. While condemning Peña’s reporting, Milei expressed approval of the decision by a streaming channel to temporarily remove her from its programming, stating she needed to “step aside.” The President’s comments came amidst ongoing debate about the responsibility of public figures and media outlets in verifying information before dissemination. The incident highlights the potential impact of misinformation, particularly when involving prominent individuals. Peña has not yet publicly responded to Milei’s criticism. The streaming service’s decision reflects growing pressure to address the spread of false narratives.
