Carlos Melconian Denies Allegations of Harassment and Sexual Misconduct in Leaked Audios, Claims it’s a ‘Political Move’
Carlos Melconian, prominent economist and potential Minister of Economy for Patricia Bullrich’s presidential campaign, has categorically denied the allegations of harassment and sexual misconduct that have surfaced in leaked audio recordings. In a recent television interview, Melconian dismissed the contents of the audios as a fabrication, referring to them as a sticker, a snot, a tremendous edition. However, he did not confirm whether it was his voice on the recordings, contradicting Bullrich’s initial explanation that the recordings were the result of artificial intelligence. Despite the controversy, Melconian suggested that the allegations against him were politically motivated, stating, The two times I had to participate in politics, this happened.
Patricia Bullrich, the presidential candidate for the Together for Change party, initially defended Melconian by asserting that the audios were fake and created using artificial intelligence. However, she later shifted her stance and referred to them as evidence of a dirty campaign. Some members of her party have acknowledged off the record that the recordings are authentic, indicating that they were made during Melconian’s tenure as president of Banco Nación. Nevertheless, they dispute that the recordings were the result of wiretapping during Mauricio Macri’s government, claiming that they are private conversations between private individuals.
The leaked audios, which were first aired on the Extra channel, contain conversations ranging from Melconian’s interactions with his female employees to discussions suggesting the exchange of employment positions for sexual favors. The authenticity of the recordings has raised questions about privacy and ethics, particularly as they were released during a time when allegations of espionage against political opponents and Cambiemos leaders were being investigated by the justice system.
Despite the controversy surrounding Melconian and the leaked audios, some believe that the situation is indicative of the increasingly heated and divisive nature of political campaigns in Argentina. Opposition leaders and supporters of Bullrich have expressed concerns about the impact of dirty campaigns on the country’s political landscape.
As the investigations into the leaked audios continue, it remains to be seen how this controversy will affect both Carlos Melconian’s career and Patricia Bullrich’s presidential campaign. The conflicting responses and attempts to discredit the recordings have only added to the confusion surrounding the allegations, leaving many to ponder the veracity of the claims and their potential repercussions.
In light of the widespread concern and speculation generated by these events, it is hoped that a thorough and impartial investigation will shed light on the truth and provide clarity for all parties involved. As Carlos Melconian vehemently denies the allegations and claims they are part of a political strategy against him, the public awaits further developments in this ongoing controversy.
