The drawings of Sergio Ibacetain their classic style, remained at the center of the scene: the DAIA, Martín Matzkin and Adrián Ravier They demand chainsaws for art and culture.
An unusual press operation, with excessive and ridiculous accusations, put at the center of the scene the exhibition that the cartoonist Sergio Ibaceta did in the Deliberative Council, graphing the Milei Era in his classic ironic and sarcastic way.
The undisguised “operetta” was driven by factors of power and representations of the establishmentand for that reason it quickly found an unusual echo in Infobae, the preferred media of the North American Embassy.
They got on the show, among other sectors and people, the Delegation of Argentine Israeli Associations (DAIA)the national representative elected by La Libertad Avanza Adrian Ravierthe official Patricia Bullrich in the Ministry of Security Martin Matzkin.
These sectors agitated the request for censure and even intend to step aside from the vice president of the Council, Romina Montes de Oca. Among the unusual accusations, they propose that the Ibaceta sample is “anti-Semitic.” They also complain because he makes fun of the president of the Nation Javier Miley.
Obviously Ibaceta denied these accusations and made it clear, interviewed by Plan B Noticias, that “the cartoons are not anti-Semitic, but rather they denounce a war criminal.”
In addition, Ibaceta was an official in the municipal Culture area in the previous management of Lucian of Naples and is one of the main leaders of the Communist Party in our province.
The Ibaceta exhibition, “Caricatures of the disaster. Years 2023-2025”had already been under request for censure by the block of PRO councilors, and especially by the councilor Fernanda Oddi. The retrograde argument of that opposition sector sought to have the Council’s exhibition removed under the excuse that the presidential investiture was being attacked.
This censorship attack worked at first, in the run-up to the October 26 elections, when the authorities preferred to postpone the exhibition. But after that act, the exhibition was finalized.
Ibaceta has been caricaturing characters from politics and public life for decades. He is the best-known cartoonist in La Pampa, based on his works published in different media, which have featured leaders of all colors and in different times and jurisdictions.
He did the same with Milei as with other figures of power: he illustrates them under a critical and biting gaze, which plays with humor and adds acidity to the characteristics and behaviors of these personalities. Milei in this case appears in the drawings with several of the characteristics of his government, the one that kneels before the power of the United States, the one that is fanatical about the Israeli government, the one that represses retirees.
