De la Rua's inclusion in Shakira's video has caused a stir in the local media. This is due to the fact that Antonio de la Rua is his father's closest advisor. Tower Records Argentina's spokesperson said the decision to bann her albums had been taken in protest against De la Rua and not against the pop star Shakira.
