Milei Attacks Journalist Novaresio in 'Cultural War'

President Javier Milei has once again affirmed that he considers these confrontations part of his cultural battle against what he calls the 'caste of journalists'. According to the president, Novaresio's stance is driven by a 'passion for lying and smearing' with the aim of hiding his alleged lack of transparency. Milei linked the journalist's criticism to a 'whimper' caused by the fear that the public will find out how the traditional press circle operates. A climate of extreme polarization. This attack adds to a growing list of communicators singled out by the Casa Rosada under the logic of 'briefcase journalists'. 'I think they gave this mercenary the wrong name... it should be called: ENSOBRARESIO,' the head of state shot. Javier Milei's tweet against Luis Novaresio. BUENOS AIRES, Feb 7 (NA) – The rhetorical battle between President Javier Milei and journalism added an episode of extreme hostility this weekend. Through his account on social media X, the head of state directly attacked Luis Novaresio, using a play on words to label him a 'mercenary' and accuse him of receiving spurious payments or benefits under the alias 'Ensobraresio'. According to what the Argentine News Agency learned, the president reacted to a post from the user known as 'Traductor te ama', a user with active libertarian militancy. In his reply, Milei not only validated previous criticisms but also deepened the personal disqualification towards the host. The response from press organizations was not long in coming, reiterating the concern about the stigmatization suffered by those who exercise critical thinking before the Executive Branch. So far, Novaresio has not issued a formal response on his networks, although it is expected that he will make his statement in his usual television space. The closing of the presidential tweet, with the already classic 'VLLC!' (Long live freedom, damn it!).
