Overview
- Journalists found the Sala de Acreditados inside Casa Rosada ransacked on Monday, August 31, with drawers and refrigerators opened and personal items left scattered according to photos and video posted by reporter Fabián Waldman.
- Sources reported small items were taken, including packages of yerba and milk, while most coverage describes the losses as low in value but high in symbolic impact for reporters who use the room daily.
- The national government said it is "averiguando qué pasó" and responsibility for security of the room lies with Casa Militar, the unit that answers to Karina Milei.
- Reporters and news associations have asked authorities to review surveillance cameras and access logs to identify who entered and how the breach occurred, but officials have not yet released details from any records.
- The incident builds on recent limits imposed on access to the accredited journalists' room and could deepen tensions between the press corps and the Milei administration while prompting demands for clearer security and oversight.
