ARGENTINA: Scandal shines spotlight on domestic abuse
Argentina’s former president Alberto Fernández (2019-2023) has been accused of subjecting his ex-wife to domestic abuse, in a scandal which forced him on 14 August to step down as leader of the Peronist opposition Partido Justicialista (PJ). While far-right President Javier Milei has relished this opportunity to criticise his centre-left predecessor, the scandal has also shone a spotlight on the deep-rooted issue of gender violence in Argentina. In contrast to the Fernández administration, which sought to implement feminist policies, Milei’s right-wing government has shut down authorities such as the women’s ministry.
