Milton Tolomeo, the protester accused of throwing molotov cocktails at police during a demonstration against government labor reform outside the Argentine Congress, has been ordered to remain in preventive detention. This decision by Judge Gonzalo Rua follows requests from prosecutors who argued for this measure due to the nature of the alleged crimes committed during the protest. Authorities found incriminating materials at Tolomeo's residence, including incendiary liquids, anarchist propaganda, and clothing used during the incident.

During a raid on Tolomeo's home, investigators discovered several key pieces of evidence that supported the case against him. Items recovered included high-temperature gloves, flammable liquids, and data storage devices, such as phones and a computer. This evidence points to premeditated action on the part of the protester, raising concerns about the potential for violence during such demonstrations. The finding of anarchist materials also suggests ideological motivations behind the actions taken during the unrest.

With the judge's decision to retain jurisdiction over the case, it suggests that authorities may be willing to escalate the legal response against crimes associated with public protests. This move could have broader implications for how protests are managed in Argentina, particularly concerning the enforcement of public safety laws during demonstrations. The case underlines the tension between the government and certain activist groups, particularly amid ongoing labor reforms that have sparked widespread dissent.
