Controversy Erupts in Congress Between Caputo and Manes

President Javier Milei released a new video addressing the clash between Facundo Manes and Santiago Caputo. In this video, filmmaker Santiago Oria claims that it was the radical deputy who waited for Caputo outside Congress and blocked his way. Milei, in his remarks, mentions that "the mercenaries" are talking about an alleged threatening dialogue.

In an attempt to contradict Manes' version, who alleged that he was physically assaulted by Caputo's associates, Milei shares this video. The president describes the situation as a "returned" and states that social media reveals the truth.

Regarding the allegations of a threatening dialogue between Caputo and Manes, which according to the radical legislator included the phrase "I will put the entire State against you," Milei downplays these events. Oria, in a tweet questioning the narrative of events, comments that "Santiago Caputo did not 'go to look for' but Manes 'waited for him at the exit' and crossed blocking his way out of Congress."

Milei, also echoing Oria's words, reinforces his position by criticizing journalism, particularly Grupo Clarín, and points out that the coverage of the case would be retaliation against him. This creates a controversy that remains unresolved, as the images do not provide definitive information about what happened outside Congress. Uncertainty persists and raises the question of who really initiated the altercation.
