This is the violent Kirchnerist leader who kicked a retiree in the back

Within the framework of the LLA presentation in Junín, far-left activists attacked the libertarians

The presentation event for the Buenos Aires candidates of La Libertad Avanza in Junín, which was attended by President Javier Milei, was not exempt from violent incidents in its surroundings. Kirchnerist activists attacked Milei's supporters in an attempt to intimidate the event's participants and create destabilization.

The most serious incident occurred when Santiago Agustín Byjmuk, a Kirchnerist political operator and former Unión por la Patria city council candidate in Lanús, delivered a kick to the back of a retired La Libertad Avanza militant, causing shock among those present. Byjmuk has a history of aggression against police officers and opposition activists and publicly identifies himself on social media as a member of the UTEP National Secretariat and the Movimiento Popular La Dignidad, a Guevarist group of the far left.

El militante kirchnerista que le pegó una patada a traición en la espalda a un jubilado militante de Milei fue el mismo que en la "Marcha de Jubilados" decía que "hay que seguir bancando a los jubilados, no puede ser que sigamos bancando nosotros los

The libertarian influencer Mariano Pérez described the attack: "He showed up again, this time hitting a retiree from behind. Just as much of a coward as when he started yelling for them to hit me after making a fool of himself on camera."

The episode is part of a pattern of recurring violence by Kirchnerism against La Libertad Avanza activists. Videos shared on social media show Byjmuk even attacking police officers and fleeing the scene, reinforcing the perception of impunity denounced by the ruling party.

The intervention of security forces allowed Milei's events to continue, while the President and the leaders of the movement reiterated the need to defend freedom and political participation in a context where the opposition resorts to intimidation.

Throughout his speech, Milei alternated internal acknowledgments with harsh criticism of the opposition. At the beginning, he expressed his support for the libertarian activists who were attacked:  "I want to express my solidarity with our activists who were attacked by the Kirchnerist hordes. These gangs are over. Kirchnerism, never again." One of the young people who was attacked thanked the president.

"Today it was my turn, but Kirchnerist violence can't continue. Let's never forget, they are hate, we are hope," said the young victim of Kirchnerist violence in gratitude for the warm embrace of the president of the nation.

Meanwhile, the president of La Libertad Avanza, Karina Milei, was cheered and expressed solidarity with the activists:  "That's why we say KIRCHNERISM NEVER AGAIN," emphasizing the ruling party's commitment to the safety and freedom of its supporters.
