Alejandro Fantino increased his stake in Neura, the channel that helped create Toviggino

The streaming channel Neura Shareholders changed following the recent acquisition of Sergio “Tronco” Figliuolo as national deputy of Libertad Avanza. The new lawmaker sold his stake to the other three original partners, who are Alejandro FantinoYour lawyer Agustin Rodriguez and its historical producer Leonardo Torres.

These are the current regulations Bans MPs from owning media companies and “Tronco” had already announced that if elected – in the last national elections – it would renounce its stake in Neura.

The streaming channel for political and economic news was created in August 2022 by Fantino, “Tronco”, Rodríguez and Torreswith a stake of 25% each. From the beginning, Neura positioned itself within the libertarian media ecosystem.

First, the company left a small apartment and then moved to the building in Palermo where it is currently based, whose offices burned down in July this year.

When Neura started, the main program was already ready Fantine Multiversewhich received exclusive interviews with Javier Milei of great impact, such as the first note he gave after his election as the nation’s president in 2023, which added thousands of subscribers. This time Milei Fantino gave the speech he gave on the night of the victory.

Another strong program was Sanduber news with Tronco, whose video clips quickly went viral, like the one in which “Tronco” Figliuolo appeared with a thermos in front of his face to illustrate the qualities they must have the libertarian candidates who were supposed to be “Milei-Thermos.”

To another of his programs in Neura, The pet suitcaseLast June, Javier and Karina Milei were out with two of their dogs, Conan and Thor, when they took part in a collection organized by “Tronco” and donated $1 million to two animal shelters.

Currently with a staff of 20 employees and there are still only a few programs on the air Fantine Multiverse remains the main program of the streaming channel Brey basesdirected by Mariana Brey.

But the departure of the new Libertarian National MP left a void that has been difficult to fill ever since Sanduber news The broadcast on Neura has been stopped.

Fantino explained what role he played Pablo TovigginoTreasurer of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), involved in the founding of Neura.

Fantino said it on the show last October conclavewith whom he shares Fabián Doman, Viviana Canosa and Jorge Rial (although that day featured Mauro Federico instead of Rial), on the streaming channel Carnaval, where Carlos Pagni and Jorge Liotti mention Toviggino as the alleged owner, although the AFA treasurer denies having a relationship with this channel.

“When I cut the chain because I couldn’t take it anymore, to the point that I cut my Achilles heel, I was burned and desperate. “Toviggino, with whom I had and still have a relationship, is my friend, he helps me give birth to Neura,” Fantino said.

And he added: “It helps me that Neura is born by telling myself: ‘Go on, grow up, you have the opportunity, let’s move on, do it.’ The guy helped me get started, so that was the beginning of Neura. It’s not like he helped me with money either.“It helped me build, think and build Neura,” Fantino explained.

“Toviggino worked like the state and helped me give birth to Neura, because the truth is that I wouldn’t have made it otherwise. The state is telling you, “Go ahead.” But then he wasn’t in a welfare system… He didn’t make me his slave, do you understand what I’m trying to tell you?” Fantino said two months ago, when there was no sign that Toviggino would be at the center of a judicial investigation for money laundering.

Lest there be any doubt about his connection to the AFA treasurer, Fantino said on that broadcast: “I have been several times in the office of a person I respect and feel like a friend, and that is Pablo Toviggino.”

“Toviggino has a specially created painting in his office about what judicialism means. It’s like an installation with Perón’s poodles, factories, hospitals, a linearity of what judicialism would be as opposed to Peronism, because judicialism and Peronism are not the same thing.” I’ll say it openly here: I consider myself a friend of Pablo Toviggino. He’s from Santiago del Estero and I’m from San Vicente, from Santa Fe.”

In fact, this statement says: Fantino also said he is not a libertarian. “I am a legalist. Toviggino explained to me the difference between judicialism and Peronism. And he didn’t explain it to me badly. If you explain it to me, I understand you,” Fantino explained his ideological positioning and emphasized his connection to the AFA treasurer.
