Activist Sues Deputy for Insults About His Autistic Son

Ian Moche, a disability rights activist, is demanding that parliament expel Deputy Lilia Lemoine for publicly insulting him and his mother by calling his behavior 'pretending'.


Activist Sues Deputy for Insults About His Autistic Son

Buenos Aires, Feb 6 (NA) – Disability rights activist Ian Moche today filed a request with the Lower Chamber to apply a disciplinary sanction or expel National Deputy of La Libertad Avanza Lilia Lemoine for 'moral incapacity,' after she accused him of 'acting like an autistic' and said his mother Marlene Spesso 'was not right in the head.' 'IAN MOCHE DENOUNCED NATIONAL DEPUTY @lilialemoine FOR MORAL INCAPACITY SO THAT THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES CAN APPLY A DISCIPLINARY SANCTION OR EXPEL HER FROM THE BODY. Now the people's representatives have the word,' posted Andrés Gil Domínguez, the lawyer representing the minor, on his social media account X. The public attack by the libertarian lawmaker was not the first he received from a figure in the ruling party. The Argentine News Agency reported on the incident in which President Javier Milei himself became involved when he previously quoted a tweet linking the child to a supposed 'Kirchnerist operation,' discrediting his claim about cuts in the disability area. For that episode, Ian Moche's family denounced 'harassment' and 'symbolic violence' by the president, who labeled the minor and his circle 'kukas.' Lemoine's attack on Moche, which also victimized the boy's mother, was much more direct: 'We are in a hypocritical society where a lady can profit from a minor child and take him to the media making him act autistic.'
