The influencer Fran Fijap, aligned with the government, has spread a video on social media debunking the version of Congressman Facundo Manes regarding the supposed aggression he suffered after leaving Congress following the Legislative Assembly. In the video, someone can be seen placing a hand on Manes' chest, but there is no evidence of visible blows.
"Fijap accused journalism of wanting to create a media circus and lie. He criticized the actions of the media, calling on his followers to share videos of journalists reacting to the incident and discrediting Manes' version," says the influencer's message.
Congressman Facundo Manes claimed to have been physically assaulted by people close to Santiago Caputo, a presidential advisor, after a confrontation in the vicinity of the legislative chamber. However, Fran Fijap not only dismissed Manes' complaint but also suggested that the press is trying to divert attention from President Milei's speech in Congress.
In response to the controversy, Fran Fijap invited those with recordings of journalists behaving inappropriately to share them, arguing that the press is trying to favor the current government and cover up Milei's intervention in Congress. In conclusion, according to Fijap, at no time in the images do we see how Facundo Manes is receiving blows.
