Milei Labels TN Journalists 'Delinquents' in Social Media Post

The escalation heightens concern over press freedom.

Overview

  • President Javier Milei, in a post published Saturday, accused reporters at the Todo Noticias TV channel of a “grave crime” and called them “delinquents.”
  • He singled out Luciana Geuna and Ignacio Salerno and referred to TN producers and executives, using insults and signing off with “CIAO!.”
  • He did not provide evidence or specify the alleged offense, and officials have portrayed the stance as a pushback against false information.
  • The clash comes days after the government closed the Casa Rosada press room and tightened accreditation, which limits on-site coverage of the presidency.
  • Press groups warn the language can fuel online harassment and chill reporting, noting Milei has previously branded critical journalists as “liars” or “on the take.”
