Hours after Javier Milei's new attacks against Lali Espósito, the Ni Una Menos collective and other feminist organizations repudiated President Javier Milei's statements against the actress and singer.
They assured that it is
"misogyny and institutional violence."
"The misogyny and institutional violence of the president against Lali Espósito is brutal," Ni Una Menos published this morning on its X social network account.
"Absolute repudiation of that form of impotence of power that only knows how to be violent and patriarchal while making the
most inhuman adjustment
that we remember," they added on the former Twitter.
Also from the organization
Actrices Argentinas
they spoke out in favor of the singer, who last year established herself as a pop figure after being the first woman to sell out the Vélez Sarsfield stadium in her show.

The President reiterated his statements about the singer: "Lali Depósito was left for her."
"We support our colleague Lali in the face of harassment by the President," said the group of actresses.
And they concluded: "Institutional violence towards cultural representatives and social leaders seeks to silence the
voices that rise against misogyny, hunger and adjustment
. They are not going to silence us!"
On Wednesday night, the President targeted the artist in a television interview with the LN+ channel, in which he called her
"Lali Depósito"
.
In addition, he questioned the funds that the Government of Córdoba uses to promote cultural events that promote tourism, such as the Cosquín Rock festival.

Over the weekend, Lali Espósito had responded to the President's criticism from the Cosquín Rock stage.
"When Córdoba makes Cosquín Rock, which is private, it gives them billions of pesos in subsidies. All the artists who were there, for example Lali 'Depósito', received money from the State. But Lali Depósito received money from various governments. In one of the recitals charged 350 thousand dollars," said Milei, who echoed accusations spread by libertarian accounts on social networks.

Catriel Ciavarella, the drummer of Divididos, publicly supported Lali after the statements of Javier Milei who targeted the singer as "Lali deposit" and accused her of charging "350 thousand dollars" for a recital.
"So, are you willing to finance these expenses against the VAT that takes food from the poor children of Chaco?" the President asked himself, continuing with a tweeting tone.
Lali Espósito, who had already demonstrated after Milei's electoral victory, questioned the cuts in culture.
After a first encounter, she dedicated a song in her show in Cosquín to "the liars, the stupid ones, the bad people, the ones who don't value, the anti-patriarch."
His criticism of Lali's appearance at that Córdoba festival also earned Milei a confrontation in the digital arena with the manager and businessman José Palazzo, organizer of Cosquín Rock.

On the other hand, this Thursday morning the president once again referred to the singer and pointed out: "If you want to attack, you have to be clean."
"If you are a
parasite
who lived sucking at the breast of the State, you are in trouble and, if on top of that your opinions are in line with a political space that paid for your presentations, you are a propaganda mechanism, you are not an artist," said Milei. in an interview with
La Red
radio .
Furthermore, he was seen active on his Twitter account.
"She started it," argued the President.
And in response to a publication by an anonymous activist, he added: "On top of that they tell me that 'the great artist' does not sing but rather she plays back."
In addition to feminist organizations, different artists and cultural personalities also repudiated Milei's statements.
Among those who defended her was her friend La China Suárez, as well as the businessman Daniel Grinbank, the group No te va gusta and the members of Divididos Ricardo Mollo and Catriel Ciavarella.
