José C. Paz Brawl at Council Swearing-In Triggers Complaint Naming Municipal Officials

La Libertad Avanza asks Governor Axel Kicillof to condemn the violence.

Overview

  • Fighting broke out during the councilors' oath ceremony at the Universidad de José C. Paz, with videos showing insults, shoves, punches and chairs used as projectiles.
  • La Libertad Avanza reported seven injured, including a 39-year-old with a fractured jaw and ribs, two teenagers attacked, a gendarme with a broken nose and a retired teacher struck by flying chairs.
  • The libertarian space alleges a municipal police officer pointed a firearm at a 17-year-old during the confrontation.
  • Newly sworn councillor María Clara Amoroso filed a judicial complaint accusing officials close to Mayor Mario Ishii of inciting militants, naming Pablo Mansilla, Rodolfo Pino, Lito Denucchi and others.
  • The municipality acknowledges the clashes but blames Amoroso's group for provoking them and says officials stepped in to separate groups, while LLA demands immediate judicial action and a public statement from the governor as investigations remain pending.
