Argentine Econ Minister's Awkward Response to Inflation Q Goes Viral [VIDEO]

Bothered by a Greek reporter’s repeated requests to release Argentinas true inflation rate, Economy Minister Hernan Lorenzino interrupted an interview, saying the issue is too “complex” to explore and telling an aide “I want to leave.”

A video of the interview surfaced Tuesday and quickly became the talk of Argentine social networks. On Twitter, the hashtag #mequieroir (#iwanttoleave) was constantly retweeted, and the video of the visibly uncomfortable minister played repeatedly on Argentine television news stations that aren’t aligned with the government. Someone even put his voice to a cumbia beat, mashed it up with the Peronist March and posted the music video on YouTube.
