Eleven protesters who were arrested last Wednesday while President Javier Milei’s Ley Bases bill was being discussed in Congress were released on Tuesday night. The five people remaining in jail out of the original 33 who were arrested were indicted by judge María Servini. In her ruling, Servini determined a “lack of merit” for the 28 who have so far been released. The charges of the indictmentDavid Sica, Cristián Fernando Valiente, Roberto María de la Cruz Gómez and Facundo Ezequiel Gómez remain in prison, charged with “public intimidation” and attacking police officers. In her ruling, Servini said she has security camera footage, videos, and police officers’ testimonies that back her decision to keep them imprisoned.
