The family of Romina Marisol Ibarra is demanding a judicial response following the February 2025 femicide of the 38-year-old teacher. Although the case was elevated to trial, proceedings have faced repeated delays.

A scheduled hearing in August 2026 was suspended after the defendant, Hugo César Ortiz, refused to leave his cell and requested a new public defender. The defense has since filed a motion regarding potential mental incapacity under the Formosa Criminal Procedure Code. The victim's family maintains that while the defendant's rights must be respected, they require justice within a reasonable timeframe.
