I changed my clothes but I’m still bathed in gasoline…”.
Then, a video of just over two minutes in which the candidate speaks while going to be treated at the hospital also emerged: “I just tried to enter the Victoria Villarruel event in the Legislature to ask for the victims of terrorism. At the entrance Beyond the way left-wing militants usually scold me, which I’m already used to, on this occasion, two people sprayed gasoline on me, they threw a bucketful of gasoline at me. It got into my eye, now they’re taking me to the police station because the SAME does not arrive. My clothes are soaked in naphtha”.
A militant from Javier Milei explained why she called Ofelia Fernández an “Australian croissant tank”
“I don’t understand how someone can say that they defend human rights and then throw fuel on a woman. As I was taking a while to enter, some cameras came and asked me what I thought about the theft of babies. I said that it was the most filthy, infamous, horrible thing that can happen. But that does not mean that there are no victims on the other side. And for those victims our space asks. Let the whole story be recognized, not a part, the one that suits one part,” he said.
Along these lines, he continued: “I can believe it because I know they are cowards. In similar demonstrations I have been pushed, beaten, thrown to the ground, but never sprayed with gasoline. It is no coincidence that several of our militants have been attacked these days. I’m not surprised, I come here and I know what can happen. But I’m not going to show fear in front of this type of people. This is unacceptable. I didn’t go to provoke anyone, there is no provocation that justifies throwing a bucket of gasoline in your eye and that it can cause damage to the cornea. A lady gave me water, I cleaned myself. Now they are going to attend to me”.
“Unfortunate, they are the ones who claim to defend human rights but have no problem spraying a person with gasoline. This is not the country we want. Luckily in October you vote, so vote well, please,” he concluded.
