Argentine actor Marcelo Córdoba points to Mexico as "responsible" for the hatred toward Argentina

The artist, known in the country for appearing in several telenovelas, is being heavily criticized for his recent statements

Argentine actor Marcelo Alejandro Córdoba joined the wave of what his fellow countrymen think about the rejection that Argentina is causing around the world after the 2026 World Cup and lit the fuse by pointing out that part of that imposed "hate" trend has originated in Mexico.

Córdoba was very clear and explicit in stating his point of view about the trend of comments against Argentina after the performance of the albiceleste national team in the last World Cup, in which they lost the final to Spain 1-0.

"A large part of the "hate" came from Mexico and that was what surprised me the most, and the World Cup was the perfect excuse for people to express a feeling they already had against Argentinians, to throw out whatever they wanted to say without feeling any kind of guilt, since they were sheltered by the wave of "hate" that was created," said the actor born in the city of Buenos Aires.

'Córdoba also does not hold Mexicans entirely responsible for this wave against his country and acknowledges that Argentines are largely to blame for the "world" having turned against them.'

"We [the Argentines] don't help either with our attitudes because we have some things that clash with the rest of Latin America and the rest of the world," the actor explained, known in the country for appearing in various successful soap operas.

The Argentine was also very harsh with his compatriots by clearly stating that "yes, there are arrogant, boastful, mocking Argentines, but there are also open and hard-working ones".

'Regarding the feeling he has that Mexicans were the ideologues behind the "massive" attack against Argentina, Córdoba offered a reflection: "Generalizations are bad, it would be like me saying that all Mexicans are criminals. That is a bad generalization, because you are decent, hardworking people".'
