Original title: “Arrestan a un jóven por su pensamiento ideológico y por una discusión en Instagram lo acusan de “planificar” un atentado contra Milei”

So basically he said “I hope the president gets killed” referring to a common meme about Piñeira’s recent helicopter accident and “I will punch you if I see you on the protest” (BTW the pro-gov protest was cancelled because of the overwhelming presence of socialist movements on the street) The rightwing kids reported him to the police and they raided his home, they found he followed communist influencers on socialmedia and this fact was used to criminally charge him. This is the government of the freedom

    Based on what the article says, it wasn’t so much: “I hope he gets killed” as much as “I will shoot you and (that guy) in the head” as a rebuttal in a “political argument”

    Which, the article elaborates the bullshit reasoning the guy is arrested over: essentially communist sympathies and “knowing socialists who could carry out an attack.” Whatever the fuck that means.

    That second sentence could/would get you a visit from the g-men in the US as well. I’d be curious what the actual conversation was.

    But yeah, seems like “being communist” is the primary issue the cops had with him.

    Here's my translation uwu

    Officers from the Argentine Federal Police conducted an investigation of a complaint made by a man that had a political discussion with the accused through Instagram. According to him, at a certain point in the dispute, the person involved threatened to shoot the complainant and Javier Milei in the head. Additionally, he warned that he intended to attack the people that marched in support of the president.

    Police officials arrested the young man suspected of planning an attack on the physical integrity of the nation’s president.

    The federal officers did many field tasks to establish the identity and location of the person implicated. From the investigations it was determined that the aggressor resided in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Chacarita and, through surveying his social media, it was determined that he demonstrated having ideological thought very attached to political propaganda of the ex-Soviet Union. Also he had links with communist groups that could carry out actions that attack the public order.

    With all the evidence obtained, the National Federal Criminal and Corrections Court #10 led by Dr. Julian Ercolini, Secretary #20 led by Fernando Pascual, ordered a search of the property located in the aforementioned neighborhood.

    The detectives set up a discreet operation in the area through which the wanted person was found on a public road, on Elcano Avenue at 3 in the morning. After identifying him, the police proceeded to detain him and later searched his home. They seized a cell phone there. The detainee, a 29 year old Argentine, together with the seized item, were made available to the intervening magistrate in the case of “public intimidation”.
