The internal space led by Javier Milei seems to give no respite. After the Manuel Adorni scandal and the calls for his resignation from across the political spectrum, there is now a new headache for the president.
Daniel Parisini, alias «Fat Dan», famous tweeter and key player in the digital communication circuit of the ruling party, who rose to fame for his attacks on the social network
The conflict arose when the Judiciary summoned eleven tweeters linked to Parisini’s entourage for investigation for their verbal attacks against Sebastián Pareja, close to Karina Milei. In this context, Parisini came to the crossroads of Lemoine, current head of the Impeachment Commission, after the deputy suggested that those leaders who do not support Pareja should “stop following” the president.
«You defeated Victoria Villarruel and Marcela Pagano, Dan. In real life, you let the Government fall. Sorry. I’m tired,» Lemoine tweeted. To which Parisini responded: «I not only banned Villarruel and Pagano; I banned all of La Libertad Avanza when it had to be done, and I stopped doing so when what happened happened. You do not have the power to fire anyone or make someone stop following Milei. You do not have jurisdiction for that. This is not Congress. You will not pass.»
The fight continued with chicanes and accusations. Lemoine questioned Parisini for sharing space with the Peronist influencer Tomás Rebord: “Maybe sharing space with Rebord clouded your ideas,” he said. It should be remembered that the streaming channel “Carajo”, where Parisini is the main figure, is financed by businessman Augusto Marini, also linked to Blender, a medium associated with Kirchnerism.
Also participating in the discussion was the head of the La Libertad Avanza bloc of deputies, Agustín Romo, close to Santiago Caputo, who supported Parisini by stating that “no one should stop following Milei” and that the space is going through a historic opportunity. Also joining were Lucas Luna, a reference in Tres de Febrero, and Mariano Pérez, owner of the streaming channel “Break Point”.
For their part, the sectors aligned with Karina Milei, which support Pareja and, consequently, Lemoine, reacted with retweets and insults directed at both Parisini and her followers.
The crossing escalated until Lemoine ironically: «That’s it, I’m resigning from the bench. You won, Dan. Bye-bye.» To which he replied: “Do it, you would be doing us all a favor.”
The background of the conflict is located in a larger scale dispute: the one between the Karina Milei-Eduardo Menem duo and Santiago Caputo, the main presidential advisor on communications matters and with close ties to the Federal Intelligence Agency.
Sebastián Pareja answers to Karina Milei and is one of her main shipowners in the province of Buenos Aires. As mentioned, some time ago it was the target of numerous attacks on social networks by accounts related to Parisini, which led to a criminal complaint for threats, instigation to commit crimes and public incitement against institutions, an episode that ended up triggering the conflict.
