Amid a context of deep reforms, certain sectors of traditional journalism are once again activating the judicial machinery to attack the national government. This time, the target is Daniel "El Gordo Dan" Parisini, an influential libertarian communicator close to President Javier Milei, whose figure has grown in the heat of the new paradigm of direct political communication without intermediaries.
The complainant is Fernando Míguez, who defines himself as a "journalist and investigator", and president of an NGO called 'Foundation for Peace and Climate Change'. Before the Federal Chamber, Míguez accuses Parisini of incitement to violence and public intimidation, based on critical statements toward journalists Baby Etchecopar, Gabriel Levinas, and Roberto Cachanosky, all known for their openly hostile stances toward the national government.
The supposed threat, actually a rhetorical expression made on social media, mentions that a journalist should be imprisoned by decree, as Alfonsín did, referring to a 1985 episode where the radical former president acted by decree without solid evidence, without direct connection to journalists.
Míguez, however, intends to take the case to the international level, even involving organizations like the FBI and the United States Department of State, invoking an alleged "institutional violence" and what he defines as "structural corruption of organized crime from the State". A serious accusation, without credible evidence, and which seems more like an act of personal propaganda than a legitimate judicial claim.
