A security video sparked controversy in San Isidro, Argentina. Councilman Alberto Montes agreed to pay 12 million pesos, approximately 8,000 dollars, to a municipal employee after touching her without her consent in October 2023, when she was working as a traffic inspector.
The footage shows how he approached her from behind in an office and the victim’s immediate reaction of rejection.
Although the financial agreement was signed in May 2026, the official faces a criminal trial. From the opposition, they are demanding his removal, arguing that “politics cannot become a refuge of impunity”. What do you think?
