Overview

• On August 6 a woman threw water on a bus passenger who resembled Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, mistaking her for the official.
• The attacker’s shouted admonition “Laváte la boca antes de...” was widely interpreted as a reference to former President Cristina Kirchner.
• Libertarian user El Buni first shared the clip on X, where it quickly amassed over 5,000 views within hours.
• Bullrich condemned the act on X as “maleducada” and challenged Kirchner to explain her fortune while under house arrest.
• Authorities report no new leads on identifying or charging the women involved, underscoring Argentina’s deep political polarization in everyday settings.
