The web pages of the main European newspapers present this Friday, among their main topics, the attack perpetrated against Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner near her home, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta.
Most of the pages accompany the news with a video showing the moment in which the aggressor, identified by the Federal Police as Fernando Andre Sabag Montiel, 35 years old and Brazilian nationality, tries to trigger the weapon just centimeters from the former president’s head.
The reports include the subsequent message from President Alberto Fernández of condemnation of the event and declaration of a national holiday for this Friday and also dedicate separate titles to narrate the arrest of the aggressor and references to his profile as an exponent of hate speech.
