Overview
- Comedian Malena Pichot said on Futurock she supports pushing Robertito Funes Ugarte out of a march but not hitting him, adding a fresh flashpoint to the fallout.
- Funes Ugarte says he was insulted, spat on, blocked by a shopkeeper’s shutter, kicked and had his phone grabbed while reporting outside Congress.
- On Telefe’s A la Barbarossa, Nancy Pazos condemned the attack yet said she would not cover a libertarian rally because she criticizes President Javier Milei, prompting a heated on-air confrontation.
- Funes Ugarte rejected politicization and called Pazos a “desclasada” and “resentida social,” as host Georgina Barbarossa urged an end to media hostility and Paulo Kablan labeled the assailant a delinquent.
- Earlier, Pazos and Yanina Latorre traded posts over whether commentary normalized aggression, and there were no reports of arrests or legal steps tied to the incident.
