The issue spiralled when high-ranking government officials, including Villarruel, accused Buenos Aires Governor Axel Kicillof of spreading “pornographic literature” in public schools through a government program called Identidades Bonaerenses. Along with Reyes’ Eartheater, members and supporters of the ruling La Libertad Avanza coalition have denounced other works included in the program. “The people of Buenos Aires don’t deserve the degradation and immorality @Kicillofok is offering them,” wrote Villarruel on X on November 7. Buenos Aires governor Axel Kicillof — a father of two boys — responded to the controversy on November 17 by posting a picture of himself on X reading Eartheater. Are you really using that tragedy to put shit inside the heads of Buenos Aires province’s children and teenagers?
