Overview
- FOPEA published the full dataset and a public search tool analyzing 113,649 posts by Javier Milei from December 10, 2023 to September 15, 2025.
- The review found insults in 15.2% of posts—16,806 instances—with frequent terms including “kuka” (2,286) and “casta” (1,815).
- At least 62 journalists and 14 news outlets were targeted, and 70% of posts directed at media figures used disparaging or stigmatising language.
- Researchers documented recurring patterns such as animalization, sexualization and repulsiveness, and mapped concentrated amplification of the term “mandril” by allied accounts including La Derecha Diario.
- Insult spikes aligned with key economic announcements, and volumes fell only partially after Milei’s August 2025 pledge to stop; government officials approached for comment did not respond.
