Overview

• Daniel Parisini, known as “El Gordo Dan,” posted a vulgar attack on Luis Juez on X after the senator voted to reject the presidential veto on the Law of Emergency in Disability, referencing Juez’s daughter who has cerebral palsy.
• Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos called the message “repudiable,” phoned Juez to apologize, and stressed that Parisini does not belong to the government.
• Parisini deleted the original post, then published a similar criticism with fewer insults, and later escalated by openly challenging Francos and invoking his past in another administration.
• Political leaders, including Córdoba governor Martín Llaryora and minister Juan Pablo Quinteros, expressed solidarity with Juez; the senator refrained from direct replies, while his son criticized the attack, and Juez later said Karina Milei called to apologize.
• Coverage underscores growing tension inside La Libertad Avanza between digital militants linked to Santiago Caputo’s orbit and institutional figures, with the dispute unfolding ahead of upcoming elections.
