Viral Antisemitic Chants on Student Trip Prompt Federal Probe in Argentina

The Justice Ministry filed a case under Law 23.592, with a Comodoro Py judge examining possible instigation.

Overview

  • A video from a September 10 trip to Bariloche shows fifth‑year students from Escuela Humanos chanting “Hoy quemamos judíos” as a Baxtter coordinator encourages them.
  • The footage surfaced publicly on September 28 after journalist Dani Lerer shared it on X, triggering widespread condemnation.
  • Escuela Humanos and Baxtter issued statements rejecting the chants, the school engaged the DAIA for training, and the company indicated it would remove the coordinator seen in the video.
  • DAIA filed a judicial complaint, a private lawyer presented a denunciation, and the Justice Ministry lodged a federal case assigned to Judge Sebastián Ramos under Law 23.592 for possible instigation.
  • Investigators are moving to preserve digital evidence and identify the adults and minors involved, while President Javier Milei labeled the episode “Repudiable.”
