Milei Accuses Journalists of Forming an 'Illicit Association'

Buenos Aires, April 5 (NA) – President Javier Milei once again chose social media as his battlefield to launch a fierce attack on the press sector, which he this morning called an 'illicit association.' In a post structured in five 'acts,' the head of state denounced a supposed coordinated maneuver to discredit his administration by spreading erroneous data about credits, linking the actions of individual journalists with the editorial line of major media outlets. While freedom of expression organizations warn about the disciplining effect of these personal attacks, the head of state doubles down, relying on his direct communication with the public. In this 'Act 5' of his narrative, Milei made it clear that he does not distinguish between a technical error and political intent, solidifying a stance where any criticism or questionable data is interpreted as a coordinated attack by sectors that, in his words, 'pose as journalists' but act as operators. The problem is not just the scum that pose as journalists.
