The journalist Julia Mengolini He used his “Segurola y Habana” program, which leads every morning at 10 through Futurock with Pitu Salvatierra and Fito Mendonca Paz, to return on an issue that bothers the Casa Rosada: the judicial case faced by President Javier Milei for threats against him. The journalist reviews the file that the federal prosecutor instructs advances in the air Fernando Domínguez, in which Milei was formally charged with the libertarian deputy Lilia Lemoine, the filmmaker Santiago Oría and other digital militants accused of organizing campaigns of harassment and intimidation. Milei came to retweet more than 80 injurious comments against Mengolini and echoed the video fake that exhibited the journalist in an incestuous relationship with her brother.
The process, which is processed in the Federal Court of San Isidro, includes complaints of illicit association, crime apology, public intimidation and even embezzlement. Following the severity of the attacks, justice ordered personal protection measures for Mengolini and his family, including police custody and antiphanic button. In parallel, reports were requested from social media companies to identify those who disseminated the adulterated videos that put it in the center of the libertarian fury, with assemblies created by artificial intelligence that sought to ridicule and defame it.
According to the journalist, the accompaniment of her lawyers was key to sustaining the case. He revealed that both Camila Palacín and Juan Grabois work in their defense in an ad honorem, “wave”, without charging a weight for sponsorship. When he told that detail in the air, his own team tried to give some lightness to the matter clarifying that in this type of causes “it is common” that there is free representation, either by political affinity or by professional commitment.
However, Mengolini’s tone shows that the situation begins to weigh. In the program he acknowledged that “it already gives it heat”, in allusion that the work of their lawyers grows week after week and that the accumulation of files makes it increasingly visible that it is a sustained effort without compensation. What began as a solidarity gesture begins to become a burden: more audiences, more writings, more hours dedicated to a cause that already exceeds the media field and becomes a high -voltage judicial front.
The comment did not go unnoticed. At the table they laughed complicity, but the confession worked as a relief. Mengolini made it clear that he is aware of the weight that implies litigating against the president and his surroundings, that the exhibition has real costs and that the free, generous defense does not stop bothering it. Structural conflict between the government and a journalist who decided not to shut up. With Milei accused, justice in motion and lawyers working without charging, the case is transformed into a symbol of current political tension.
