  • Argentine President Javier Milei retweeted messages questioning the circumstances of an alleged attack on his former advisor Fernando Cerimedo's ex-partner.
  • The messages suggest the incident in Bolivia was a political "operation" with unexplained elements, like the absence of visible blood after alleged gunshot wounds.
  • Cerimedo's lawyer claims the attack was a "show" with no proof of gunshots, suggesting it was a "self-inflicted attack."

Argentine President Javier Milei has amplified messages on social media that cast doubt on the alleged attack for which his former advisor Fernando Cerimedo is currently detained in Bolivia.

The mine supposedly received four shots, but there is no blood, and just six hours later, she was already speaking to the cameras from an operating room.

Milei retweeted several posts that question the incident, suggesting it was a political "operation" with inexplicable aspects. One widely shared message highlighted the apparent lack of blood despite claims that the victim, Nadia Beller, Cerimedo's ex-partner, sustained multiple gunshot wounds. The post noted that Beller was speaking to cameras from an operating room just six hours after the alleged attack.

This narrative of a "political operation" has gained traction in Bolivia and aligns with Cerimedo's defense strategy. His lawyer has publicly stated that the attack was a "show," asserting there was no evidence of gunshots and suggesting it might have been a "self-inflicted attack."

The attack on Natalia Beller is a whole operetta.

Beller, however, has provided a medical report from the clinic where she is hospitalized. The report details "multiple wounds" from "firearm projectiles" affecting her right breast, right arm, and left neck and shoulder. It also confirms a "fractured humerus" and a "left supraclavicular wound." She also confirmed she is pregnant, reportedly with Cerimedo's child.

the attack had been a "show", that there were no proofs of the supposed gunshots and that it had been an "auto-attack".

Milei's retweets included posts from lawmaker Lilia Lemoine, who made controversial remarks about the case. One retweet quoted a message suggesting the incident was a "Hollywood-style operetta with international Kirchnerist scholarships," identifying Beller as the "protagonist." Lemoine added that the "method is always the same: victim + camera + accusation to someone in Milei's circle + tears on demand."

What do I know. I haven't heard from Cerimedo in ages. But I see the mine and I die of laughter.
