Argentina President Milei’s attacks on journalist spark political backlash

President Javier Milei labeled journalist Débora Plager a “complice de asesinato” and “sorete” after she defended legal abortion, sparking outrage. Former president Alberto Fernández publicly demanded a psychiatric evaluation of Milei and expressed solidarity with Plager. The Argentine Journalists’ Forum (FOPEA) condemned the remarks as an attempt to criminalise opinion and warned it threatens press freedom. The episode highlights deepening tensions between the executive and media professionals in Argentina.
