The writer Nicolas Marquezknown for writing the biography of president Javier Mileimade a strong comment against Esteban Bullrich in which referred to the disease that suffers. “You are known not for your ability as a civil servant but for your illness, that I hope you can overcome,” he wrote on his X account in reference to the former senator.
The message arose in response to a publication by Bullrich, who suffers from ALSwhere I remembered that 15 years ago he took over as Buenos Aires Minister of Education, during the government of Mauricio Macri. “As I always say, education unites us and finds us working in the present with an eye toward the future,” the former official had written.
The rejection of this comment did not take long, even from his own followers, so Márquez was forced to apologize.
In that sense, he acknowledged: “I assume that there was not a flood of bad interpreters but simply a bad message of mine“. And he clarified: “I never liked Macri’s management, much less the woke education by Esteban Bullrich“.
The criminal complaint against Nicolás Márquez
Given the fact, the national representative Lourdes Arrieta branded as “discriminator” to Milei’s biographer and filed a criminal complaint against him for his disqualification of Bullrich.
Arrieta also communicated from X: “I just file a criminal complaint against Nicolás Márquez, for his discriminatory statements towards Mr. Esteban Bullrich. “His words violate the dignity and rights of everyone and are a bad example of preaching the ideas of freedom.”
And he added: “To say that a person ‘is only known by his illness’ It is not only a lack of sensitivity and empathy: it is discrimination. “We cannot allow this type of speech to continue perpetuating stigmas and exclusion in our society, and to spread as natural.”
“The statements of the accused, that They minimize the political career of Esteban Bullrich and they reduce it solely to their health condition, represent a serious affront to human rightss, the dignity and equality of people with disabilities, promoting a discourse of exclusion and discrimination,” the legislator noted in her complaint.
Márquez’s expressions, said the deputy, “clearly violate the provisions of Law No. 23,592which prohibits discriminatory acts based on health condition or other personal factors.”
Furthermore, Arrieta continued: “These statements violate the provisions of article 75 paragraph 23 of the National Constitution and the principles enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (ratified by Law No. 26,378), which requires respect for the dignity and rights of people with disabilities.”
“Our position on discrimination issues is radical, we have Christian values in which each person adds to society. “Social networks are repositories of bad intentions,” said Arrieta.
And, in that way, he recalled: “Dr. Esteban Bullrich has done positive things and other achievements were ahead of him, but that does not give the right to a small person like Nicolás Márquez to say that they know him only because of his illness.”
“We cannot allow hatred, grievances and disqualifications towards others (regardless of their ideology, belief or condition), keep promoting on social networks and are projected into the behaviors of young people and adolescents,” said the legislator.
The illness suffered by Esteban Bullrich
Esteban Bullrich suffers from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis)a disease of the neurons in the brain, brain stem, and spinal cord that control the movement of voluntary muscles.
In ALS, motor nerve cells they wear out or die and they can no longer send messages to the muscles. Over time, this leads to muscle weakness, spasms and inability to move arms, legs, and body.
