The provincial deputy for Peronism Lourdes Ortiz made public through her social networks the sending of a document letter from the lawyer Emilio Pagotto who, via Twitter, pointed against the newspaper Página|12 and against officials of the Government of La Rioja, describing them as ” degenerate, gangsters and blackmailers”. The expressions of the lawyer were for a note published in this newspaper in relation to the dismissal of a journalist. The Peronist legislator criticized the lawyer’s expressions through her networks and they led to the document letter. “I received a document letter from the media, misogynist and violent lawyer. This is how the legal tools for the persecution and harassment against women in general and against feminist militancy and my political party membership, in particular, are constituted.”recounts Ortiz and affirms that the letter document “is loaded with political considerations, which seems to be the biggest annoyance that the one who notifies me infers.”

In his reply, to which he had access La Rioja/12, The legislator “urges him to cease his violent expressions under penalty of initiating legal action” and assures that the text of the letter document, for which he is intimidated, has “false, malicious and grotesque content.”

“Are you the one who unjustifiably sustains a behavior hostile, pathetic and irresponsiblein total contradiction with the behavior that a legal professional should have at the service of society by virtue of professional ethics and respect for the legal system, including those legal rights that have been conquered by the feminist movement and that today are part of of our laws which you thrash and are completely unaware of because you are blinded to a fully humanist, democratic and participatory movement such as feminism”, the legislator responded and considered that it is “a misogynistic lawyer who preaches a violent speech”.

It also expresses that “your statements not only show contempt for the movement, but you incur symbolic violence and it seems that only you have the power to say what you think without any type of limit or respect.” “I will not give rise to the summons. I know very well the purpose they have The serial haters, I recognize them from a distance, and none of that is going to move our convictions, neither me nor my colleagues “asserted who was also secretary of Women and Diversity.

In the legislative session this Thursday, the deputy Teresita Luna, presented a declaration of repudiation for “the offensive, violent and misogynistic public expressions of the lawyer of the local forum Emilio Pagotto.” The deputy herself expresses that “the function of a lawyer should be to represent the rights of those represented by him on the scales of justice and not issue irreproducible epithets that only seek to create a situation of attention. It is also unethical to use cases involving children for legal study politicking. The current legal framework and also the symbolic reparation measures for the rights affected both to women and especially to girls/boys and adolescents must always be the best interest to protect”.
