The chief of cabinet, Guillermo Francoshe went to mark distance from a message that exposed tensions between the ruling party and one of its loudest digital militants. The official repudiated on television a post of the libertarian influencer Daniel Parisini, better known as “Gordo Dan”, who had launched a personal aggression against Senator Cordoba Luis Judge and his daughter, that suffers cerebral palsy. Francos defined the publication as “Repudiable, out of place and unacceptable under any point of view,” And he clarified that he does not express the position of the Government or Freedom advances.
The episode occurred in the midst of the debate by the Emergency Law in Disability and the controversy unleashed by the presidential veto. Parisini, in his provocative style, had accused the legislator of using his daughter for political purposes after voting against the decision of Javier Milei. The tweet, which added an immediate public repudiation, was eliminated shortly after Franks set its position, although the damage was already done. “He will have realized that he committed barbarity and erased it,” said the chief of cabinet, who also revealed that he personally called the judge to sympathize and emphasize that there are no possible apologies against such an offense.
The clarification of Franks included a political message: he stressed that Parisini is not part of the government, which acts on their account on social networks and that their opinions are not shared by the official force. The challenge, by the Coordinator of Ministers, caused a wave of teasing pointing as a recipient Al Gordo Dan. A battle, within the sand of social networks, in which many saw the opportunity to hit the famous libertarian troll spreading different types of memes.
Francos also anticipated that President Milei himself, on a trip in the United States, would surely reject the controversial message. In parallel, the head of the Cabinet spoke of the parliamentary scenario and warned that, in the event that deputies maintain the project sanctioned in the Senate, the Executive will not hesitate to resort to the veto again. Finally, the Upper House rejected the veto for the overwhelming majority of 63 votes against 7, just six libertarian legislators and a parliamentary of the PRO held the presidential proposal.
Far from calming the controversy, Parisini redoubled the bet with new messages in X. After erasing the original publication, he ironized that what really bothers is that “a very strong twittea” while – according to him – the country sinks. Then he returned to judge again with personal insinuations and concluded with a religious key to Franks: “From Mr. Guillermo Francos I will not say anything because I put the Sacred Cause Argentina before everything. I forgive it.”
