Buenos Aires, March 12 (NA) – Libertarian deputy Federico Pelli will be operated on this Thursday after the brutal aggression he suffered from Peronist militant Marcelo "Pichón" Segura in the town of La Madrid, Tucumán, while helping flood victims after the fierce storm. Soledad Molinuevo, National Deputy for Tucumán from La Libertad Avanza (LLA), held a press conference where she confirmed that her colleague will be operated on in the coming hours due to injuries to his face from the headbutt he received from Segura. "We thought it was much worse from the sound of the blow," Molinuevo told local media. In this context, she highlighted that Pelli "bled a lot" and announced that "they have to operate on him for his broken nose.". "He is hospitalized, in a lot of pain," added the deputy during the conference at the LLA headquarters, according to the Argentine News Agency. The attack, which occurred during the arrival of various politicians in the areas affected by the floods, was witnessed and recorded, and Pelli assured that he will report Segura.
