Overview
- Marcelo Peretta, head of the SAFYB union and a congressional candidate, confronted Feinmann outside Radio Mitre, kicked him in the waist and damaged his vehicle, according to widely shared video.
- Feinmann reported the incident for lesions and damages, said the complaint will be expanded, and vowed on air to pursue the case to its conclusion.
- Peretta posted his own recording and argued he sought explanations for on‑air criticisms, denying he went to threaten the journalist.
- A City police officer and colleagues from Feinmann’s program intervened on scene, and the episode drew condemnations including a statement of solidarity from presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni.
- ADEPA repudiated the aggression, and coverage noted Peretta’s minimal electoral support and a 2022 police report alleging he assaulted a lawyer during a labor negotiation.
