Personal life

During a radio interview with a Buenos Aires sports show, Basay declared his admiration of Chile's former dictator Augusto Pinochet.^[4] At the end of the interview Basay was asked rapid-fire, one-phrase questions. He was asked by the host of the Radio Sports Show "De Caño vale doble" of AM 770 Radio in Buenos Aires, what was his impression of Pinochet. Basay answered that Pinochet was necessary at a time in Chilean history.
