00:00Marcos Di Palma, former racing driver, who is organizing a solidarity action of those who move a trip from Arrecifes to Bahia Blanca with several stops, with a solidarity truck that is going to collect donations to bring help to Bahia Blanca.
00:19Marcos, thank you very much for this communication. Tell us what you are doing, please.
00:26Orlando, how are you? Good afternoon to you, to the whole audience. Thank you very much for calling me.
00:30What are you doing, Marcos, and how can people join this movement that you are leading?
00:38Well, I'll tell you. Let me move for a second to have a little more signal, because I'm having little signal. I don't know if you're seeing me well.
00:47More or less, but if you move, we're still listening to you.
00:51Now, now.
00:52If you can hear me, that's enough, because I'm going to be honest with you. I have a lump in my throat that it's better not to be on television.
01:01Listen to me. I'm leaving Arrecifes with my truck to Bahia Blanca.
01:09And between everyone, between you, between me, between the people who are donating things in solidarity, it is so that what they are donating reaches Bahia Blanca as quickly as possible.
01:21Of course.
01:22And how can we give a hand to this that you are doing?
01:25The people from which localities can you approach? When are you going to pass?
01:29Give us a little info for the people who are watching us and who want to help.
01:34We are going to leave on Wednesday morning from Arrecifes and we are going to pass through the cities of Carmen de Areco, Chivilcoy, 25 de Mayo, Saladillo, Tapalte, Azul, Chillar, Juárez, Tapalte.
01:51Chavez, Tres Arroyos and Bahia Blanca.
01:54Already with all the places, except Saladillo, the things have to be taken to the volunteer firefighters of each city.
02:01On my Instagram I have the addresses and the phones of each place.
02:07Marquitos, why this action? What happens to you with what you are seeing? What happens to you with the images that are coming to us?
02:17The same as you, the same as you saw on television.
02:21One says, how can I help? And I realized that many people wanted to help, but let's see, how am I going to carry a pack of water?
02:28How am I going to carry 20 liters of bandina to Bahia Blanca?
02:32So I say, well, I'm just the means for that to happen.
02:36But thanks to you that we can spread it, we can be doing all this.
02:41It is thanks to everyone, not just one person.
02:44It is thanks to the set and the link of the chain that it is going to be longer and longer.
02:49We are going to tell people that you have a black face because we caught you working.
02:54Look, look, look.
02:55And yes, there it is.
02:57At this moment I am fixing the escape from my home because I am going to go with the two vehicles so as not to bother.
03:03And if I have to stay to sleep in Bahia Blanca or in some town, I'm going to stay to sleep there in my home.
03:09What is the answer, Marco, that you are having? What are you perceiving from the people?
03:13What I think I'm going to have to do several trips because of what the day is worth.
03:18And because of the amount of donations we have, I have no doubt that in the third town we will have the truck full.
03:23So I'm going to have to do some other trip.
03:27If God wants, I hope so.
03:29And out there, some of you get on top of the truck and we are taking more steps and communicating.
03:35The truth is that we like the idea and we like you to get involved in this.
03:39You like to drive, so we do several trips and we take all the help.
03:43This is the good part.
03:45Like the Argentines, when something happens, we are there.
03:48We don't look elsewhere.
03:50The truth is that yes.
03:52I say that if we had more people like the people in politics in all areas.
03:57I'm talking to you.
03:58We raised Bahia Blanca in two days.
04:00Why?
04:01We are 50 million inhabitants.
04:04Rolando, I ask you a question.
04:05You too.
04:06If they tell you that you have to donate a thousand pesos, don't you donate it?
04:08Obviously.
04:09Of course.
04:10And it's nothing.
04:11It's 50 billion pesos.
04:13Five times more than what the national government is going to put.
04:16But then you put it on a side that you don't know if the politicians are going to finish it.
04:20I've been in there and I say, but it's a shame.
04:22Sure.
04:23So I preferred to lose more time, more money and take it personally.
04:30Because if you send it out there, they're going to finish it.
04:32Of course, Marcos.
04:33We are already with Gabriel Ziblatt, our partner, to start the step and we add him to this conversation as well.
04:39Marcos, it is important that people like you put your face,
04:44so you raised one does not give the same tranquility to deliver what you have to donate to some official entities.
04:53No, I'm not going to emphasize any.
04:56There is a figure that ultimately to you, if your truck deviates, we know that you are in the media,
05:02that you can go to complain and that people trust you.
05:05I say, we also have a crisis with confidence, right?
05:08As to where we deposit our solidarity, our expectations.
05:12Do you feel that in some way you are capturing a little of that?
05:17And you imagine, Rolando, if we had to give all these donations to a piece of son of a bitch like Isaurralde.
05:25You don't know if they end up in Bahia Blanca doing work or they end up as whores in Italy, you understand me?
05:30And I'm talking about my political party, so they don't tell me that I don't mess with others.
05:36That guy, what we should have done is hang him in Plaza de Mayo, as well as so many others.
05:41But I'm talking about my political party, so they see that I'm not covering up.
05:44But it's why someone takes a donation bag to you, to your truck, and maybe he doesn't do it elsewhere.
05:50And the truth is that you were direct, you went to the bone, but it's a bit of what we're saying.
05:56It's what we need in Argentina.
05:59That's why a lot of people trust my law.
06:02A guy that I sometimes look at and say, half like me, a crazy guy who is saying the right thing many times.
06:08He makes mistakes, he does shit, but one has confidence because he says, well, stop stealing, crazy.
06:14A little bit.
06:16Until when do they have time to take things to you?
06:19You already told us, in the fire department of the cities you listed, is there a point here in Buenos Aires or not?
06:27No, no, because I leave from Recife, I go to the Cabo route.
06:31I don't have a problem after emptying the truck and I have to go to Buenos Aires.
06:35Or if you know of a place where I have to load, I come back, load and take it back.
06:39I don't have a problem.
06:41Repeat the itinerary for us, so we can let everyone know.
06:45Directly to the fire department of each place.
06:48I leave on Wednesday morning to Recife.
06:51In the morning I'm going to do Carmen de Areco, Chivilcoy.
06:55At noon I leave for Saladillo, in an IPF service station in the center.
07:00Then I go from Saladillo to Palque, Azul.
07:04And I think I'm going to sleep in Azul.
07:06On Thursday morning I leave for Chillar, Juárez, Adolfo González Chávez and Tres Arroyos.
07:11Very important the route.
07:13Marcos, you were saying that people should approach the volunteer fire department of their area.
07:18So that there is a shelter.
07:20Of course.
07:21In my Instagram I put the addresses and phone numbers of each place.
07:26For those who want to join, you can join.
07:28Obviously, I'm going to be in each place for a while.
07:31If they want an autograph or a photo, I'm going to go to hell.
07:35Your image is attractive.
07:38It is a good cause that you are carrying forward.
07:41Obviously, you are giving your time.
07:44You are giving your image in some way.
07:47Because if this goes wrong, they will come to ask you to give up your accounts.
07:51And I also ask you, Marcos.
07:53The NAFTA and all the logistics.
07:55Did someone call you to tell you, hey Marcos, let's put a little.
07:59When you pass through this town, put the attendance.
08:01Or is it coming out of your pocket?
08:03Not only to thank you, but to see how the official solidarity works.
08:08The fuel, the truck, the wheelhouse, my son, my employee.
08:12So far I put it all.
08:14But if someone wants to donate fuel, welcome.
08:16Because I'm going to help with fuel.
08:18And it took me a million and a half.
08:20So if I have to go three times.
08:22But here, for example, there is an entity that is AFA.
08:24Argentine Federal Farmers.
08:27He gave us 300 liters.
08:29Gustavo Basti, a friend of Pergamino, gave me 300 liters.
08:32So, back and forth between the two vehicles are 1000 liters.
08:37And I calculate that we are going to cover it well.
08:40And if we have to do it several times, we are going to do it back.
08:42Good afternoon, Marcos, Rolo, Sole, how are you?
08:44Hello.
08:45To ask you, Marcos, on the other side of the Valle Blanca.
08:47What are they asking you, more than anything?
08:50What are the things that told you, this is what works best?
08:53Good afternoon, Rolo.
08:54I think it's a very good question.
08:56Because what we need the most.
08:58They are needing.
09:00And what do we want to load?
09:02Cleaning products.
09:04Many are asking for food for pets.
09:07Cushions, blankets.
09:09Cleaning products.
09:10Everything you can imagine.
09:11Laundry.
09:12Floor cloths.
09:13Dryers.
09:14Dryers.
09:15And food is not perishable.
09:17That is what is needed as urgently as possible.
09:20I add one thing, Marcos.
09:22It is good to repeat it.
09:24When you are going to help.
09:25Many times you grab clothes.
09:27You put everything in a black bag.
09:30Put on an adult sweater.
09:32Baby clothes.
09:33Four years old.
09:34Put that on.
09:35Because at the time of distributing the help there.
09:38It serves a lot.
09:39It is very necessary.
09:41Yes, but people from Valle Blanca have called me.
09:43And that urgently need.
09:46Cleaning materials.
09:48Hygiene.
09:49Toilet paper.
09:50Roll of kitchen paper.
09:51Water.
09:52Things that one does not have.
09:53They do not take it into account.
09:55And that is what they are needing.
09:57To disinfect and wash the houses immediately.
09:59Sure.
10:00You are privileging that to the truck.
10:02Because the space is limited.
10:04Obviously.
10:05They are already accommodating the priorities of what people are donating.
10:10Because we are seeing here in the capital.
10:12That people also bring mattresses.
10:14But the space is limited.
10:16I'm going to take mattresses, mattresses, blankets.
10:19We already have about 20 or 30 mattresses that have been donated.
10:22Blankets.
10:24A lot of water.
10:25Laundry.
10:26So, luckily, we are having a lot of things.
10:30And if you have to fill the truck and look for it again, I'll be back.
10:33There is no drama.
10:34Do you have a big truck?
10:35From what we see.
10:36Yes.
10:37Yes.
10:38Well, all trucks are big.
10:39I have a Batea that is 10 meters long.
10:41Well.
10:422.50 meters high.
10:43So there is no problem.
10:45And I already called a friend who has a truck.
10:47Who also put it on display.
10:49It has a 14-meter long side.
10:51So we can do it.
10:52There is no problem.
10:53Caravan.
10:54Caravan.
10:55Sole, I'm interested in asking Marcos too.
10:57Who is he talking to in Bahia Blanca?
10:59Who is he organizing this with?
11:00Because there are many people who are willing to help.
11:03They are going with clubs, with different associations.
11:05But it is important that it is ordered and organized as well.
11:08How does all the donations arrive there in Bahia Blanca, right?
11:11I haven't talked to anyone yet.
11:13I was going to get in touch between today and tomorrow.
11:15And how do I live you?
11:16Rollo, I'm going to my house.
11:17I have no drama.
11:18If I have to wait a day.
11:19Because we are getting a lot there.
11:21The same day.
11:22And out there we are doing that wrong.
11:24It would also be necessary to organize.
11:26But I have no problem if I have to stay to sleep.
11:28I don't need anything.
11:29Okay, you're putting your time, Marcos.
11:31It is also important.
11:32Have they told you if the access route to Bahia Blanca is guaranteed?
11:37Or are you going to have a problem?
11:38Yes.
11:39What do you expect?
11:40What do you have planned on this route?
11:42Obviously, you start on Wednesday.
11:43Let's hope the situation is better.
11:45But what have they told you and what are you predicting?
11:47I think that arriving in Bahia Blanca, Route 3 is cut.
11:51About 40 kilometers before, the old Route 3 goes out.
11:55To the right.
11:56I know that well.
11:57And if I don't enter Route 51, I don't have big problems to deviate.
12:03I think it's going well now.
12:05It's going to change, but by Route 3 I think you'll be able to get there.
12:10Exactly.
12:11In a couple of days it will change.
12:16They were just calling me from Bahia Blanca to tell me how the situation is.
12:20There it is.
12:22Do you worry about security at some point, Marcos?
12:25About the trip and everything.
12:27Because you're going to be in an area where the police are having problems.
12:31To have personal rights.
12:33That is also affected by floods.
12:36In the personal.
12:37That also has problems with the patrols that have been flooded.
12:40Do you worry in any way?
12:41Has anyone offered you any kind of security?
12:44No.
12:45Security is mine.
12:46Yes.
12:47Do you go to the grocery store?
12:48I'm not afraid.
12:49Look, I'm going to tell you one thing.
12:51I've never been afraid of money.
12:55Well, but ...
12:56No, no, but ...
12:57No, no, the truck.
12:58The truck is empty, but as much as it crosses me, it crosses me.
13:01All-terrain.
13:02All-terrain.
13:03And it's good for the situation there, which is very hard.
13:06We are working.
13:07Obviously, you are a character who always makes us laugh.
13:11It's great what you're doing.
13:13Because you have to talk less and do more.
13:15And that's what you're doing.
13:17You are going to find a tremendous panorama.
13:20And hopefully you can also bring a little chat, a little joy.
13:25And that things work.
13:27Because that's what is needed there.
13:29Everything is missing.
13:30Everything is missing, Marcos.
13:31It's impressive.
13:32The truth is that I see that a hug out there is more important than anything else.
13:36As is.
13:37And thanks to what we are doing, not what I am doing.
13:40Because you make this reach many homes and find out.
13:44Because if it weren't for you, it would be much more difficult.
13:47And see these, for example, see the parents who have not yet found their children of 1 and 5 years.
13:54Pilar.
13:55Terrible.
13:56And I don't remember your name.
13:57Pilar and Delfina.
13:58Of course, imagine how difficult it must be for them.
14:01I get on the skin of those parents and the truth is that I wouldn't like to be there for a minute.
14:04Of course.
14:05Desolator.
14:06You said that if we go to your Instagram, we find this list of towns where you are going to pass.
14:11How is your Instagram?
14:12Your address?
14:13Yes.
14:14So that the people who are watching us want to help you.
14:16Because what we are seeing is that there is really an impressive movement.
14:19There are many people very, very moved by what has happened in Bahía Blanca and mobilized.
14:24What address do they have to go to get more data on how to help with your action?
14:30I think my Instagram is marcosdipalmaok.
14:33Since I posted it yesterday, today, it already has more than a million visits.
14:37Wow.
14:38And the truth is that I don't remember what my Instagram is like, but I think it's marcosdipalmaok.
14:42Let's check it out.
14:43Marcosdipalmaok, there I am checking.
14:45Yes, Gaby.
14:46It's marcosdipalmaok.
14:47There it is.
14:48Marcosdipalmaok.
14:50I had something like that, marcosdipalmaok, official.
14:52And I say, boy, I put my hand in it.
14:54No, well, you also show that you have no interest in this.
14:57You set it up for this.
14:58That you are not looking to grow the followers to do a business or anything.
15:01It's a way for people to get close to you and take their things.
15:05I don't understand what this is about followers.
15:08I know that you can get to a lot of people and that we can share and interact,
15:13but I've never even advertised on my Instagram, so no.
15:16There it is.
15:17But I have fun, I have fun and I tell my life.
15:19It's just a candelero.
15:21And at some point it was true.
15:23You said that your son is going to accompany you on this journey.
15:26Yes.
15:27I hope I can take my two children.
15:29And my oldest son is no longer going to school because he finished.
15:32Yes.
15:33He is 19 years old.
15:35And I want you to see that life is not as easy as it is given to them.
15:39Thank God.
15:40Not because they are bad.
15:41On the contrary, they study, they are respectful.
15:44But I want you to see that there is also another life.
15:46Here she is, my lady, look.
15:48Where is she?
15:49There.
15:50There she is, look.
15:51She was also the one who brought me a gang to do things.
15:55She is going to look for a friend who leaves school.
15:58How nice, how nice.
15:59Your idea is to share it with your children.
16:01I was interested in that because we just saw, Marcos, in River, in Constitución,
16:06people who go with their children,
16:08as showing them how important it is to give a hand, to help,
16:12from wherever one can, obviously.
16:14You are also trying to get your children to see this.
16:17You, who are from a family that has inherited the passion for motorism.
16:22You will have seen your old man in thousands of situations.
16:24You also want to transmit this to your children.
16:27That's why you want them to accompany you, I imagine.
16:29My daughter innocently asks me when I do this,
16:32and you, what do you win, dad?
16:34Nothing.
16:35How do I win?
16:37I am tremendously religious, no matter how much I want to do it.
16:40And I know that my life is going to end in the short term.
16:4320 years, 25, it's short term.
16:46What I want when I reach heaven,
16:48is that at least there are some people waiting for me,
16:50thanking me for what you did.
16:52Okay, and it's a good message for your children too.
16:56Obviously.
16:57They have to see that not everything comes from above,
17:00that everything is easy,
17:02that all people go through the same life.
17:04They have to be grateful for what they have,
17:06and they have to be supportive,
17:07because there are many children who,
17:09the only thing they have is a phone,
17:10and see the great life that others go through,
17:12and they don't even have the possibility,
17:16or the alternative to better their lives.
17:18Without a doubt, Marco.
17:19We also saw, you just said,
17:21that the idea is to bring food for animals, for pets.
17:26Of course, of course.
17:27We know that people are also mobilized by this,
17:30by seeing animals.
17:31I imagine that you too.
17:32I mean, when one sees,
17:34as a part of a drama,
17:35because, of course,
17:37that at the head of the loss is human life.
17:39There are these parents,
17:41as you said,
17:42those of Delphine and Pilar,
17:43who are looking for their daughters,
17:44no more and no less.
17:45One puts himself in that place.
17:46But also when one sees dogs,
17:48cats,
17:49one also puts himself in the place of people
17:51who are suffering this drama.
17:53For many, Rolo and Marco too,
17:56it is a link of the family,
17:59and now everything is out of control.
18:01For many, the animals are like my children.
18:05I understand them and I understand them.
18:07I put a human being in front,
18:11and then the animals.
18:13But there are many who do not have children,
18:15or did not have the opportunity to have children,
18:17and their company is a pet.
18:19That's why I also said
18:21that it's not bad if you can donate food for the animals.
18:24Yes, or families that consider the pet
18:26as part of the family too.
18:27Of course.
18:28Exactly.
18:29Of course, of course.
18:30That's what you have to say as a child, right?
18:31Yes, yes, of course.
18:32If it's part of the family.
18:33Well, we're going to follow you.
18:34I uploaded many stories on your Instagram,
18:36which we put up here
18:38and we show them in the notice,
18:39because it's good.
18:40Yes, a step at a time.
18:41My children challenge me and tell me,
18:42you don't have to make it alive, dad,
18:43you have to make stories.
18:44Make it alive.
18:45I don't understand, son, what it is.
18:46But you have 600,000 followers.
18:49I don't understand.
18:50And what do you want me to do?
18:51I'm 50 years old.
18:52I don't know how to send an email.
18:53It was hard for me to put WhatsApp on the phone.
