President Milei Pursues Legal Action Against Journalist Julia Mengolini Over Alleged Defamation
Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei has initiated legal proceedings against journalist Julia Mengolini, filing a complaint on July 1st. The president alleges that Mengolini made defamatory statements concerning his personal life, specifically targeting his relationship with his sister, Karina, and his ownership of eight dogs.
The legal team representing President Milei contends that Mengolini’s remarks were not accidental but were made with the deliberate intent to harm his reputation. they are invoking the principle of “actual malice,” arguing that the journalist acted with reckless disregard for the truthfulness of her assertions.
Key evidence cited in the complaint includes statements made by Mengolini during an appearance on the C5N program “Duro de Domar.” In that segment, she reportedly stated, “Beyond political ideas, he is a man who lives with eight dogs and is in love with his sister. I did not make a value judgment, I made a description. At all times, culture and place, in the history of humanity, there is only one thing that remains like a taboo: the taboo of incest.”
further evidence presented is a tweet from August 12, 2024, where Mengolini clarified her earlier remarks. She wrote, “Correction President: I said he lived with his dogs, not that he slept with his dogs. And that he was ‘in love’ of his sister, not to bed with her. The files are for everyone to see them. On the other hand,I do nothing but defend constitutional guarantees.”
Beyond the legal arena, President Milei has also engaged with the controversy on social media. Following a surge of online criticism directed at Mengolini, he posted a comment on X (formerly Twitter) that appeared to endorse the backlash, stating, “Tell me that it is part of junk journalism without saying it. It truly seems that when she sticks with her lies it is indeed fine, but when she comes she returns she cries and wants to go to justice.”
This is not the first public clash between Milei and Mengolini. In August, the president labeled her a “liar” after her publisher, in response to complaints from Fabiola Yañez (a former partner of Alberto Fernández), suggested that justice should investigate serious accusations of gender-based violence. On that occasion, Milei posted on his personal X account, “Pure poetry. The statement of the liar Julia Mengolini (who said that I sleep with my eight dogs and I have sex with my sister) makes you clear that the gender agenda of Kirchnerism does not differ from the left -handed base that is to use it to pursue opponents. Daily…”
Mengolini has consistently defended her position,asserting the principle of innocence and maintaining her critical stance on social media,even amidst a prevailing feminist discourse.
