Overview
- A violent fight broke out during the oath-taking ceremony in José C. Paz between Peronist militants aligned with Mayor Mario Ishii and supporters of La Libertad Avanza.
- Despite the clashes, María Amoroso of La Libertad Avanza completed her swearing-in and assumed her council seat.
- Amoroso reported at least five injured, including a minor, and filed a criminal complaint naming several municipal officials she accuses of inciting the attacks, according to La Nacion.
- The municipality acknowledged the altercation but argued Amoroso provoked it with gestures and chants, and said officials intervened only to separate people while downplaying injury counts.
- Videos circulating on social media show punches, pushing, and overturned chairs as council staff struggled to restore order during the disrupted session.
