Alejandro ALFIE

Journalist and writer Alejandro Alfie was judicially harassed in 2024. On 7 November 2024, he announced on social media that Esteban Glavinich (owner of the X account @TraductorTeAma and supporter of President Javier Milei) had filed a lawsuit against Alfie and the newspaper Clarín where Alfie works. In the lawsuit, Glavinich demanded ARS 20 million (almost USD 19,000) from the journalist and the newspaper company for an article Alfie wrote that was published in the newspaper. Earlier, between August and October 2024, President Milei retweeted various messages of harassment against the journalist, five of which were from Glavinich’s account. 

According to Alfie, between July and November 2024, Glavinich sent Alfie more than 100 messages of harassment and fake news. He also said that Glavinich, together with other X users, were attempting to buy shares in Grupo Clarín in order to get Alfie fired from his journalism post.
