This occurs after last Thursday, after the announcement by Security Minister Patricia Bullrich of the “Public Order Protocol”, Bregman and Del Caño expressed their rejection of it. As a result of his defense of the right to protest, deputy José Luis Espert threatened on social networks with “jail or bullet” for the leaders of the Left Unity Front.

The judicial presentation made before the Federal Justice warns that “Espert’s publication cannot be understood as a simple outburst and much less an opinion protected by freedom of expression. The statement that we should be attacked with bullets is not a simple statement: it is a threat. Furthermore, the claim that an attack on our lives of such magnitude corresponds to us is understood by followers as a possibility endorsed by a National Representative, to measure the seriousness of the person issuing the threat and its implications,” say Bregman and Del Caño in the complaint.
And they added: “We are not facing a discussion of freedom of expression: we are faced with a plain and simple threat and the possibility of attacks or aggressions being carried out, as already happened at the time against ourselves at the door of Congress. The action “a call, or defending or praising the “bullet” method against those who do not share a thought, a political idea or a political space, is of a serious nature that has its criminal legal consequences.”
