Buenos Aires Justice Questions 'Libertarian' Twitter Users Amidst Party Infighting

La Nación reports on the unfolding internal conflict within Argentina's ruling 'La Libertad Avanza' party, now playing out in the judicial arena. The city's justice system has initiated interrogations of several Twitter users accused of making threats against Sebastián Pareja, a key figure in the Buenos Aires branch of the party and a close confidant of Karina Milei. This legal action follows a complaint filed by Pareja himself, escalating the already tense internal disputes within the movement. The investigation, led by Judge Virginia Núñez Gelvez and prosecutor Celsa Ramírez, has seen two users already interrogated and placed under restrictive orders, prohibiting any communication with Pareja. This judicial intervention highlights the deep divisions within the libertarian movement, particularly between factions aligned with presidential advisor Santiago Caputo and those closer to the Milei siblings. The article details the high-profile online clashes, including exchanges between Deputy Lilia Lemoine and Twitter user Daniel Parisini, known as 'Gordo Dan,' who is associated with Caputo's 'celestial' faction. Parisini, in turn, criticized the strategy of denouncing Twitter users, stating he had previously called for Pareja's resignation. The situation underscores a volatile period for the party, where internal disagreements are spilling into public and legal disputes, reflecting a broader struggle for influence and direction within the government.

The decision by the Justice system to summon eleven Twitter users for questioning over alleged threats against Pareja, a man of utmost trust for Karina Milei, is what ultimately detonated the internal conflict with the 'celestials,' who reference presidential advisor Santiago Caputo.
