The Argentine president believes that part of the media professionals in his country should use the services of a psychiatrist.

"There is a crazy journalism that needs therapists to get rid of the hatred they carry," said

Alberto Fernández

days ago, in a new broadside by the president in the open war he has with the press.

"There is a journalism that should be seriously rethought, that all it does is provoke discouragement towards Argentines because of the hatred they have for [Vice President] Cristina [Kirchner], Peronism, and me," Fernández reiterated.

"They say things that really don't make sense," he

insisted.

Specifically, the Argentine head of state pointed out in his criticism three media - the

Clarín

and

La Nación

newspapers

and

Channel 13

television - as emblems of what he describes as "crazy journalism."

In Fernández's opinion, the journalists of these media are guided by a “vocation to divide and to wreck Argentina”.

"What these journalists need is that a psychiatrist treat them and make them understand that they live in a community that needs them to please stop dividing us," he said.

"When we were united, we were all able to take the fight against the coronavirus together," said the Argentine president, for whom there are "newspapers that do the impossible to prevent that from happening."

Psychology is a discipline with great tradition in Argentina, the country that has the highest density of psychologists per inhabitant.

But President Fernández's appeal to journalists to go to a psychiatrist are major words, since he places the speech at the level of mental illness.

Months ago, Alberto Fernández already recommended to a journalist who asked him an annoying question that he go "to the psychologist," and in April he retweeted a message in which he defined

Jonathan Viale

, a journalist who had pointed out that the The government was "falling in love" with the quarantine imposed by the coronavirus pandemic.

Alberto Fernández belongs to a political space, Peronism, in which Kirchnerism dominates, who has a special obsession with the media and with the front pages of newspapers.

"President, do not worry about the newspaper covers, worry about reaching the hearts of Argentines,"

Cristina Kirchner

recently recommended

to Fernández at a public event.

Argentina is a country in which freedom of expression governs, but the pressures of political power on the media are persistent, as well as their interest in having non-critical media.

In fact, Alberto Fernández has also referred to "another

more committed journalism

that also exists", although without specifying what kind of commitment it is attending, or specifying who exercises it.

After this new attack by the president of Argentina on the press,

Fernando Ruiz

, president of the Argentine Journalism Forum (Fopea), which brings together journalists in the country, told EL MUNDO that Fernández “has the right to criticize journalists, but not to stigmatize them ”.
