Overview
- DAIA filed a judicial complaint, the Justice Ministry presented a case in federal court at Comodoro Py, and a private lawyer demanded identification of the students, the coordinator and an accompanying parent.
- The Economy Ministry’s Secretariat of Industry and Commerce formally imputed Baxtter under the Consumer Defense Law, giving the company five days to respond and warning of a potential fine that could reach 2.1 billion pesos.
- The footage, recorded on September 10 in Bariloche, shows students from Escuela Humanos chanting “Hoy quemamos judíos” on a bus, with a Baxtter coordinator encouraging the chant and a parent present.
- The school and Baxtter issued repudiations; the school’s new statement prioritizes workshops and reflection with DAIA and ORT over student sanctions, and the company reported meetings with DAIA, with one outlet saying the coordinator was separated.
- The case references Argentina’s anti-discrimination law (23.592), with reporting that Judge Sebastián Ramos is handling aspects of the probe and that authorities are reviewing earlier altercations involving ORT students during the trip.
