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.
