Lorenzetti Defends Free Speech as Judge Curbs Publication of Karina Milei Audios

His remarks signal that the Court’s free‑speech jurisprudence remains firm during the dispute over a gag order on Casa Rosada recordings.

Overview

  • Supreme Court president Ricardo Lorenzetti said freedom of expression is central to democracy and stressed the Court’s doctrine is clear and unchanged.
  • Lorenzetti declined to discuss the government’s complaint or recent rulings to avoid prejudging ongoing proceedings.
  • Federal judge Alejandro Maraniello ordered a limited injunction halting dissemination of audios recorded in the Casa Rosada and attributed to Karina Elizabeth Milei across media and social platforms.
  • The government filed a complaint alleging an illegal intelligence operation, and prosecutor Carlos Stornelli is leading an investigation into possible illegal espionage.
  • Former Supreme Court justice Eduardo Maqueda criticized the injunction as contrary to established jurisprudence and described it as lamentable for press freedom.
