Four executives of a far-right organization in Argentina face criminal charges for “incitement to hatred” against Christina Kirchnera federal judge announced yesterday Thursday (3/11), in the context of an investigation parallel to the one concerning the attempted assassination of the vice president.
Jonathan Morel, Leonardo Sosa, Gaston Guerra and Sabrina Vasile, leaders of the Revolución Federal, are accused of “public incitement of hatred, intolerance and collective violence against a leader to such an extent that it led a person to commit what, in the words of members of the Revolution Federal, would be “written in history”, namely the attempt on the life of the vice president”according to the indictment.
These four faces “exceeded the limits of the exercise of freedom of expression and the constitutional right to demonstration”Judge Marcelo Martinez de Giorgi explained in this 60-page document.
The proceedings have run parallel to the investigation into the attempted murder of Mrs Kirchner on September 1, when a young man pointed his gun at her but was unable to fire.
The four defendants were remanded in custody since October 20, then temporarily released by order of the appeals court, which assessed that they did not pose a risk to the investigation.
Judge Martines de Giorgi underlined that the far-right organization “stopped its publications” after the attempt on the life of the former Peronist president (2007-2015).
The attempt was made in front of Mrs. Kirchner’s home in Buenos Aires by Fernando Andre Chabag Montiel, 35: he approached her and pointed her in the face with his pistol, but it did not go off when he pulled the trigger.
The man and his partner, Brenda Uliarte, 23, have been remanded in custody and charged with attempted murder by Judge Maria Eugenia Capuchetti, who is handling the case.
Brenda Uliarte was recorded on video taking part in a demonstration against the centre-left government organized by the Revolution Federal, with a mock guillotine and torches, in front of the government headquarters.
Mrs. Capuchetti believes that there is insufficient evidence to merge the two investigations.
