Violence invaded this Wednesday the march called in front of the National Congress to express rejection of the
Omnibus Law
.
In different episodes of overflow of protesters, a libertarian influencer, a journalist and a Buenos Aires legislator were attacked.
Specifically, the young network activist from La Libertad Avanza
Patricio Chazarreta
said that they hit him with a
pineapple "through betrayal"
, while they
spat on the
TN channel reporter
Manu Jove
, threw water at him and invited him to fight.
Furthermore, at the end of the day,
Ramiro Marra
had to run from the Protestants, under a rain of projectiles, and suffered a
blooper
.
One of the first incidents involved the influencer Chazarreta while he was heading towards the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon.
Upon arriving at the Legislative Branch building, he was recognized by several
Leftist organizations and the Piquetera Unit
.
Despite the insults coming from all directions, he continued to advance.
However, everything changed when
a man hit him squarely in the face with a pineapple
.
The attacker burst in from the side and, after the attack, he quickly retreated.
However, the episode was recorded on video.
"This bastard hit me treacherously, only when he saw a police officer where he could hide," the young man wrote on his X account (former Twitter) along with a photo of the aggressor.

Also during the afternoon, there was another reprehensible situation.
While covering the mobilization, journalist Manu Jove was harassed by several protesters.
They weren't just insults
: one of them spit on him and even invited him to fight with gestures.
They also threw
juice at him with a bottle
.
The attack on the reporter aroused many expressions of solidarity and concern from colleagues on the networks.

Some time later, the communicator reflected on social networks, with acidity: "If anyone finds these
toy revolutionaries
, let me know so I can send them the dry cleaning ticket. Shake and run, a classic that never goes out of style."
Hours later, already at night,
Ramiro Marra experienced a moment of tension
.
The former candidate for head of the Buenos Aires Government for Javier Milei's party left Congress and ran into several left-wing Protestants.
In the midst of a hail of projectiles and insults, he had to run towards his car and even
slipped while trying to get into the vehicle
.

The legislator from
La Libertad Avanza
also made a statement in
the course to become a world power again, where violence no longer has a place.
Let them scream, let them attack, let them cry and kick.
We are NOT afraid of them.
The people voted for us to put the Argentina that they destroyed back on its feet and to set it on the path to once again be a world power, where violence no longer has a place.

attacks are a medal on my chest
