For Lijo, the accused did have the intention of hurting Milei and therefore classified the intentional injuries. “Both the images captured during the presidential inauguration, as well as the statements of the accused at the time of making his defense – who stated that he was affected by the President’s speech -, together with his publications on social networks, lead to the assumption that The action taken by the accused was specifically aimed at harming the president. Such aspects allow the knowledge and will of the accused to be fully accredited; That is, the author has not only known the consequences of his action, but he had the intention of carrying out the objective type,” the judge said.
