Mengolini: A story of persecution against freedom of expression

The ultra-Kirchnerist journalist Julia Mengolini decided to file a complaint against all individuals in the liberal sphere. From President Javier Milei to National Deputy Lilia Lemoine, provincial legislator Agustín Romo, director Santiago Oría, and even ordinary civilians who use the social network X such as Daniel Parisini (Gordo Dan), "negro" Almeida, users TraductorTeAma and lorem ipsum, and even the author of these lines.

The charges she alleges are threats, public intimidation, advocacy of crime, illicit association, and embezzlement of public funds. The case is being processed before the Federal Criminal and Correctional Court No. 2 of San Isidro, presided over by Judge Sandra Arroyo Salgado.

In her complaint, Mengolini stated that the expressions she received against her following the leak of an alleged intimate relationship she would have with her brother consisted, according to her, of a systematic intimidation plan orchestrated by the State, all under the direction of President Milei, who, in turn, she claims, would have paid the rest of the human beings in the liberal sphere to move against her.

Meanwhile, Mengolini's maneuver, regardless of the outlandish nature of her statements, not only constitutes a false accusation filed solely to gain some kind of notoriety for political purposes, but also a real nuisance for all those who legitimately exercise their right to freedom of expression.

The public's reaction to Mengolini following the leak is exclusively a response to her own statements on the ultra-Kirchnerist program "Duro de Domar," hosted by the well-known best friend of children, Pablo Duggan, in which she shamelessly stated that then-presidential candidate Javier Milei maintained an incestuous relationship with his sister. These very statements are what people reminded Mengolini of once the alleged carnal relationship between her and her brother came to light.

This victimhood in which Mengolini engages contradicts her own usual expressions on her obscure radio program broadcast by her own media outlet, Futurock. The journalist publicly called and multiple times to beat and even murderstreamers and journalists such as Tipito Enojado and "negro" Almeida.

Even her own program partner, the former convict for multiple robberies and drug trafficking turned elected Buenos Aires legislator, "pitu" Salvatierra, directly stated that he would shoot to death any Milei voter who tried to approach them, all under Mengolini's deep laughter.

These statements prompted a complaint by Alejandro Sarubbi for coercive threats and public intimidation. This is because not only does she intend to intimidate indeterminate people (that is, Milei voters as a generic term), but also the people she falsely accused, thus there are determined individuals and consequently aggravated threats.

Added to this is the complaint that "negro" Almeida filed against Mengolini herself following her public call for him to be beaten and murdered, but also multiple civil lawsuits for damages for having attacked and offended the honor and freedom of expression of civilians and journalists.

This maneuver by Mengolini, common among Kirchnerists, seeks to criminalize freedom of expression, and is just another attempt among many others to silence people who express themselves freely on social networks.

Malena Galmarini has also tried this, failed first lady, failed mayor, and failed complainant in a mega case that sought to link simple "twitter users" with former President Macri, President Milei, Fernando Cerimedo, evangelical movements from the United States, and even the CIA.

Currently, this is also being attempted by organizations such as FOPEA and National Deputies such as Cecilia and Leopoldo Moreau, Santiago Cafiero, Marcela Pagano, Esteban Paulón, among other opponents of the government.

The ultimate goal sought is to silence dissenting voices that compromise their spurious political aims, not only ideological but also economic, in order to avoid objections among public opinion and thus get their way.

This will not happen. Firstly, because the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression can in no way be considered a crime, much less by those accused. Secondly, because society as a whole will not only continue to express itself as it has been doing, but will also take to court all those who try to silence them.

There is no more patience against the dictatorial delusions of the left. If they want to take the dispute to the judicial arena, it will be there where they must provide the relevant explanations, and of course, pay handsomely for all the inconveniences caused.
