Argentinian Union Leader Calls Minister ‘Little Jew Boy’

The head of Argentina's Blue and White CGT union Luis Barrionuevo is under criticism for calling the Minister of the Axel Kicillof "that little Jew boy [who] gives no answer." When informed that the phrase could be offensive Barrionuevo responded, "Everybody calls him this... I didn't discriminate against him. I have Jewish friends."

The national Jewish political umbrella group DAIA and the Simon Wiesenthal Center have demanded that Barrionuevo make a public apology.
