The former Buenos Aires legislator Ofelia Fernández was 26 years old when a libertarian user threatened her with death through X. Far from ignoring it, made the complaint with the team of lawyers from Argentina Humana and waited. This week he announced the outcome in a video that he published on his own networks with a title that paraphrases Patricia Bullrich: “He who makes them pays”.
The attacker operated on the platform under the alias “Thordorni” —a fusion between Thor and Adorni that Fernández described, without much contemplation, as “pathetic”—. The former legislator decided not to ask for her imprisonment, and instead negotiated an agreement that, in her own words, involved “excuse him in exchange for some details”.
The details, however, are not minor. The young man must make a public apology from an account registered in your real namecomplete a hate speech training and perform financial donations to both the Garrahan Hospital and a community kitchen. A reparation, in short, that aims less at individual punishment than at giving something back to the group that, according to Fernández, is being harmed by the same government that the aggressor supports.
The “moral” with which he closed the video quickly went viral. Fernández stated it with the same mix of irony and conviction that characterizes her: ideally, she said, you don’t have to be violent. But if someone can’t handle it, let him know that it has a price: in this case, give back to the children of Argentina the health and food that, in their opinion, are being taken away from them. He finished with a “end” which was, clearly, a direct nod to presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni.
