Overview
- Videos filmed by witnesses and by Peretta’s son show the confrontation on Calle Mansilla, including a kick to Feinmann and blows to his vehicle as he tried to leave.
- A City police officer and the economist Guillermo “Willy” Laborda intervened at the scene to separate the men and de-escalate the incident.
- Feinmann said the denuncia was submitted for lesions and property damage and that he intends to expand the filing in court.
- Peretta posted his own footage and claimed he sought explanations rather than to threaten the journalist, while the episode drew public condemnation including a message of solidarity from presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni and a repudiation from ADEPA.
- Peretta leads the pharmacists and biochemists union SAFYB, has a 2022 police complaint for an alleged assault, finished with 0.13% in a May race, and is registered to run for national deputy in October.
