Overview

• Federal electoral prosecutor Laura Roteta advised that Reichardt, second on the slate, should replace José Luis Espert rather than Diego Santilli, citing the intent of Argentina’s parity law.
• Roteta argued that elevating a man over a woman already higher on the list would misuse parity rules and amount to a regression in protected rights.
• The decision now rests with federal judge Alejo Ramos Padilla ahead of the October 26 legislative election.
• Archived posts from Reichardt’s X account between 2015 and 2018 show racist, classist and homophobic language, with deletions preserved in captures reported by multiple outlets.
• Reichardt framed earlier insults of Lionel Messi as a “berrinche futbolero,” as coverage describes the controversy as a complication for La Libertad Avanza’s campaign.
