12-Year-Old Activist Petitions Argentina’s Congress to Sanction or Expel Deputy Lilia Lemoine

The filing seeks disciplinary consequences after the lawmaker’s derogatory remarks, with the case now before the lower house for consideration.

Overview

  • Ian Moche submitted a request to the Chamber of Deputies seeking a disciplinary sanction or the expulsion of Lilia Lemoine for “inhabilidad moral.”
  • The move follows Lemoine’s comments accusing him of “acting like an autistic” and her attacks on his mother, including claims the family profited from media appearances.
  • Attorney Andrés Gil Domínguez filed the complaint and announced it on X, stating that lawmakers now have the matter in their hands.
  • No vote or sanction has been reported, and the petition remains pending before the Chamber of Deputies.
  • Moche addressed the episode on his social media, calling it “ugly,” as coverage also recalls President Javier Milei’s earlier repost that the family condemned as harassment and symbolic violence.
