“Oh, yes, I see you very high, daddy,” said Chirinos with a sarcastic tone in response to the lawyer’s comments. Pomareda, without entering the game and addressing the driver, Beto Ortiz, asked to maintain the height of the debate. “Beto, I said that we must raise the level of the debate.”

But what marked the conversation was the lawyer’s final response, addressed directly to the congresswoman: “I went to protest (…) I was complaining about citizen insecurity (…) She is the type of people that should not be elected.”
The episode immediately went viral on social networks and many users celebrated Pomareda’s serenity in the face of the parliamentarian’s haughty attitude. Some comments pointed to the moment as a reflection of social fatigue in the face of political figures who confuse representation with superiority.
Chirinos, known for her confrontational rhetoric, had already been involved in other episodes of arrogance. In April, during a television interview, she called academic sectors “totally caviar people” when she was questioned for her vote in favor of regulations considered “pro-crime.”
The episode in The Value of Truth is not an isolated event: it is the reflection of a political style based on personal disqualification and lack of self-criticism. It should be noted that Congress maintains historical levels of disapproval, above 90%, Chirinos’ gesture was not only a lack of individual respect, but a symbol of the disconnection between representatives and citizens.
