The attack that the libertarian influencer Patricio Chazarreta received this Wednesday while walking near Congress was shocking: a man, from behind, punched him in the face, without much ado.
Now it is known who the aggressor is: he is
a militant journalist with influence in Kirchnerist media
.
Until this Thursday, the filmed sequence showed how a middle-aged man approaches the influencer from behind and
punches him
.
Chazarreta, confused, turns around looking for the aggressor, but continues walking.
A few minutes later, the influencer uploaded the photo of his attacker to his Twitter with the caption "this bastard
hit me treacherously
, only when he saw a police officer where he could hide."
Deputy Agustín Romo retweeted the message asking for information about the man and they managed to identify him.
Chazarreta, with representation from the Apolo Foundation and the Buenos Aires legislator Yamil Santoro,
is going to denounce Gastón Garriga
in court.
Tell me NOW who this son of a bitch is.
