Journalist Tomás Díaz Cueto became the target of threats after publicly expressing his support for the Supreme Court's ruling that upheld the conviction of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. His streaming studio, known as LACA, was found vandalized with an intimidating phrase written on the floor: "Cueto coward, don't mess with CFK".

The incident occurred just a few days after the final verdict against the former president was announced. Several activists carried out acts of vandalism in different parts of the city in response to the judicial decision.

Criticism of the Police and concern for other colleagues

The former La Nación+ reporter warned about an alleged persecution of media outlets not aligned with Kirchnerism. "Obviously they're targeting all streaming platforms and channels that aren't Kirchnerist", he wrote.

He mentioned recent cases of attacks on platforms such as OLGA, Neura and traditional media like TN. He also referred to aggressive graffiti in front of various channels.

His departure from La Nación+ after a controversial celebration

Days earlier, Díaz Cueto had been dismissed from LN+ after a video went viral in which he celebrated the conviction of Cristina Kirchner with champagne.

The journalist himself confirmed the decision on his social media, although he stated that he was unaware of the formal reasons for his dismissal. According to some reports, the channel's discontent could have been due to that particular celebration, and it was also suggested that his presence might have put other colleagues at risk, especially in a context of tension with activist groups.

Several La Nación+ reporters had been assaulted during vigils outside the former president's residence. The channel feared further reprisals.

Atmosphere of tension and polarization in the media

Díaz Cueto's case added to a growing wave of conflicts between media figures and political sectors. In recent months, journalists from various outlets have reported threats, assaults, or pressure due to their editorial positions.

The conviction of CFK reignited old confrontations in the media landscape and exposed the fragility of guarantees for the practice of journalism, in a context where public opinions have real consequences.
