The program “Because today is Saturday with Andrés” was once again a point of criticism after the presenter, Andres Hurtadoreproached live a 38-year-old mother who came to her set to ask for help for one of her six children, who is disabled.
“What do you need me to do for him, boy?” Hurtado asked at first. “A week ago he was hospitalized because he gave him pneumonia, we have to get more tests, the insurance does not cover me. I need for processing, I work and I can’t see it. I have 6 children,” replied the mother.

“How many children?” replied the presenter. “Six,” she answered. After the woman responds to the driver that she had six children, he reacts uncomfortable and replies the following:
“Don’t be mean then, don’t be abusive then! Six children, and so young? What’s wrong with you? What’s wrong with you? Can’t you bring children into the world and have them like this? How many sick children do you have? And where is the dad? I’m going to do it for the kid, you know? I feel sorry for nothing, nothing. You seem irresponsible to me. Six children and so young! Are you sure you’re not even 30 years old? questioned.
This generated a wave of criticism on social networks, where he was accused of “humiliating the poorest” in his live program.
Until when will Andrés Hurtado be allowed to humiliate the poorest live and direct?! Why is no one doing anything about this?! pic.twitter.com/MiFC0B1sh4
