00:00Signed by Karina, the friend of Elva Marcovecchio that we saw her leave, very moved by the Italian hospital,
00:06is that the time of death of the colleague was 15 and 20.
00:11This is the confirmed time then in which the family received the news by the medical team
00:18and it was Elva Marcovecchio herself who decided to spread it publicly at that time.
00:25There is an expectation for the subject of ventilation, what transcended is that it would be,
00:29as you are already informing, in the Porteña legislature, it is spoken from 10 in the morning,
00:33but that time is not yet confirmed.
00:36Let's remember that six months passed here, Jorge Lanata, since June 14,
00:41when he had to enter at that time for a routine study, a tomography,
00:47for a pneumonia that he had suffered.
00:49There he had a small heart attack, a mild heart attack, and for that reason he was finally hospitalized in intensive care.
00:54And it was a day-to-day struggle, right?
00:56We were receiving the medical parts here at the door of this hospital in the Porteño neighborhood of Almagro,
01:02where he had to be subjected to five different surgeries,
01:06an intestinal ischemia, it was the most delicate,
01:10he was intubated on several occasions at night.
01:13And the truth is that, well, we were receiving information
01:16until finally his health was definitively deteriorated on December 27,
01:22as you are informing, and from there this multi-organic failure was generated today,
01:27and finally the news, right?
01:29The death of Jorge Lanata at 64 years old,
01:32for me, one of the parents of investigative journalism,
01:36who knew how to bother deeply the power, but the power linked to corruption, right?
01:41That is to say, a man who, at the time, when he founded Página 12,
01:45very young, he started at 14 years old, actually,
01:47to work in the information service of Radio Nacional.
01:50At that time he lied, he said he was 19 years old,
01:53but he already had the vocation of a journalist.
01:55The truth is that when he founded Página 12,
01:57he carried out very deep investigations during the time of Menemism,
02:00we remember the Shomagate, the Swiftgate, the Narcogate,
02:03all stages of that Página 12 that transcended
02:07and that even generated movements within the cabinet of Carlos Menem himself.
02:11A man who went deep at all times,
02:14knowing the consequences of what it is to exercise investigative journalism
02:18and to deal with a sector of corrupt power.
02:21Then came his stage also on the radio, deep.
02:24On the radio, already being sick, being sick,
02:27he still attended, or from his house too,
02:30he decided to conduct his radio program.
02:32An example of vocation, despite the serious and delicate health problems he had,
02:36until the last moment of this year, from his home,
02:39he conducted his radio program.
02:41A man who leaves an important legacy,
02:43which is the exercise of journalism 24 hours a day.
02:45With respect to what will happen next,
02:47his daughters are still here, in the Italian hospital.
02:50We saw Elba Marcovecchio leave very moved,
02:52we have respected her, she did not answer questions.
02:55She crossed this street as she usually did,
02:58to go to the car where her vehicle was parked, as she usually did.
03:01And she was the one who finally gave us information
03:04on a day-to-day basis, when we set up guard here,
03:06to know about the state of health.
03:08An Elba Marcovecchio, very moved,
03:10we had her on video, she did answer questions,
03:13but there is nothing to answer,
03:14we can only expect what will be the last goodbye
03:17on the day of tomorrow, December 31, 2024,
03:21the last day of the year, it will be a day that will be crossed
03:24by the last goodbye of one of the parents of journalism,
03:28I would say, of investigation, Jorge Lanata.
03:30So we are going to have an end of the year
03:32with a very deep injection of journalism,
03:35and of reflection too, and of reflection
03:37precisely in the sense of the legacy that this man leaves,
03:40who dared, and a lot,
03:42within the framework of what it is to investigate,
03:44to those who, in some way, always wanted to hide truths.
03:48The schedule has not been confirmed, as you said,
03:50still from the beginning of the response in the legislature,
03:53because they tell me that the body,
03:55the family will be delivered today at 9 p.m.
03:57It is the schedule that they say, from Don Socomio,
04:00after doing all the rigorous procedures
04:03that they are carrying out now,
04:05they will deliver the body at 9 p.m.,
04:07it is the estimated schedule,
04:09and they understand that tomorrow at 10 a.m.
04:11would be an initial schedule of the response,
04:13but it may be a little later too.
04:16As you said, the daughters are still in the hospital,
04:20and we are trying to see, well, Elba,
04:22if we can contact her,
04:24so that she can go to her home and rest
04:27after a hard morning.
04:29I tell you, I don't think it's easy
04:32to be able to talk to Elba now,
04:34because we really saw her like never before.
04:36We saw an Elba Marcovecchio,
04:38who spent an hour and a half, 15, 20,
04:40who indicated that Jorge Lanata had died
04:42from a multi-organic failure.
04:44We had to be very respectful,
04:46with professional reason,
04:48because we saw an Elba Marcovecchio,
04:50broken, but broken with a very deep pain,
04:53and it seems to me that some hours
04:55of a very important duel are coming,
04:58which obviously, when the time comes,
05:01we will see her in the morning,
05:03or today at the last minute,
05:05she decides to speak and express, well,
05:07what she has to express in this particular context.
05:09Elba respects, the last thing,
05:11they tell me that Elba respects
05:13everything that the daughters choose,
05:15that the decision would be left to the daughters,
05:17in terms of how the final response develops,
05:20so it is a fact that is happening to me
05:22quite important.
05:23Both with Cristian Balbo there,
05:24working in the Italian hospital
05:26in the area of Almagro,
05:27with Germán Marcucci and Gimel Rigel
05:28here from the floor,
05:29we have been telling you
05:30since the start of this broadcast,
05:32almost two hours ago,
05:33first-hand information,
05:34and so far we have been able
05:36to confirm each of the things
05:38that we were telling you,
05:39with which I hope,
05:40I hope this is also confirmed,
05:42there is a run-in
05:44by his late wife Elba,
05:46and leave out there also
05:47in the benefit of the daughters,
05:49that they are participants
05:50in the decision-making,
05:51of what is going to be done
05:52in terms of the last goodbye
05:54that many people will want to give
05:56to Jorge Lanata.
05:58We take a short break,
06:00very short,
06:01because it is an atypical afternoon,
06:02everything is focused on this situation,
06:05we have much more to tell you,
06:07the last goodbye to Jorge Lanata,
06:10an inescapable reference
06:12of journalism
06:13and the media in Argentina,
06:15and go if he left
06:17on a very sensitive date.
