Chumpitaz Defies Order to Remove Libertarian-Themed Ads and Files Appeal in Santa Fe

The judge acted on a La Libertad Avanza complaint over unauthorized branding that he said could mislead voters.

Overview

  • Federal electoral judge Aurelio Cuello Murúa ordered Gabriel Chumpitaz to take down campaign posters and leaflets within twelve hours, citing potential voter confusion.
  • Security Minister Patricia Bullrich publicly told Chumpitaz on X to comply with the ruling and declared her Santa Fe pick is Agustín Pellegrini of La Libertad Avanza.
  • Chumpitaz said he will not remove the materials and will appeal, describing the case as political harassment and an attempt at censorship.
  • La Libertad Avanza’s filing, presented by party representative Marcos Peyrano, alleged unauthorized use of images, colors, slogans and list names and asked authorities to probe electoral and possible criminal responsibility.
  • Chumpitaz maintains his branding and colors were duly registered and denies using LLA’s logo or violet, as the order remains in force days before the legislative elections.
