"Argentine President Javier Milei filed a defamation complaint Tuesday, July 1, against journalist Julia Mengolini, citing alleged ‘insults’ and violations of his ‘right to honor.’ The complaint was submitted through his lawyer, Francisco Oneto, shortly after Mengolini announced plans to take legal action against the president.
Milei’s complaint targets comments Mengolini made about the president’s relationship with his dogs and his sister, Karina Milei.
Mengolini, in turn, accuses the president and what she describes as his ‘digital militias funded with Argentine taxpayers’ money’ of launching a ‘brutal attack’ against her on social media in recent weeks."
