They attacked José Luis Espert's house and left him a message full of excrement.

National Representative José Luis Espert was attacked this Tuesday afternoon at his home in Beccar. Around 7 p.m., a group of people in a white pickup truck dumped manure at his front door and placed insulting banners . One of them read: " José Luis Espert's shit lives here ."

Security cameras captured the moment the attackers arrived, carried out the attack, and quickly fled. Police are currently reviewing the footage, and the courts are expected to investigate whether this was an isolated incident or a planned threat.

This just happened in my house, a testament to what Kirchnerism is all about, what we Argentines have endured all these years. THEY'RE NOT GOING TO STOP US WITH ANYTHING. pic.twitter.com/dc5qxdDtJa

After the incident, Espert spoke out publicly and pointedly stated: "We hate Kirchnerism because it has starved the country, in addition to everything they stole. They will not silence us." Speaking to the media, he added: "If you think they're going to intimidate us because they covered my front door with shit, you're wrong."

The leader of La Libertad Avanza assured that he will maintain his position regardless of the threats. "I will continue to defend the ideas that the country needs to implement to stop being a slum like they left it, and as they want it to continue being," he emphasized.

The attack generated repercussions on social media. Some leaders expressed solidarity with the congressman, while others recalled his recent remarks against the Kirchner family, which also kept him in the political spotlight.

Days before the attack, Espert had already made headlines for an outburst he uttered at an event at the Catholic University of Argentina (UCA). There, during a symposium on political communication, he uttered a remark that generated immediate condemnation: "How can you not be bitter if you're the daughter of a big whore?" he said, referring to Florencia Kirchner .

The comment drew boos from the auditorium and was rejected by the university itself, which issued an official statement questioning the lack of respect. The comment drew opposition from both government officials and students who attended the event.

In the face of criticism, José Luis Espert reaffirmed his views and ruled out any retraction. "They won't chase us away with threats or aggression. Argentina needs profound change, and I won't back down," he insisted. In the final part of his message, he once again attacked Kirchnerism , accusing it of trying to keep the country "on its knees."
