Flor de la V has described feeling frightened for herself and her children after an attack on trans women in Buenos Aires’ Palermo neighbourhood. Her emotional response has drawn attention to the wider impact of anti-trans violence, while reports of injuries and an ongoing investigation underline the seriousness of the incident.

Essential Takeaways

  • Flor de la V’s response: The presenter said the attack had left her anxious about going out with her children.
  • Victims were injured: Local reporting said six trans women were hurt, with one facing a serious ear injury.
  • The incident was filmed: Reports said footage of the violence was shared online.
  • An investigation is under way: Authorities are looking into the attack in Palermo.
  • A wider climate of fear: De la V linked the assault to the harm caused by anti-trans hostility and threatening rhetoric.

The Palermo attack has left a deep mark

Flor de la V spoke through tears about the attack on trans women in Palermo, describing fear that now follows her into everyday life. In an interview on the Olga programme Amanece que no es poco, she said she worried about taking her children into the street and facing abuse or violence. It was a personal account, but one that speaks to the wider anxiety such attacks can create. (TN; Ciudad) (2), (6)

Reports said six women were injured in the assault, and one may lose part of an ear. The incident reportedly involved a group of attackers, with footage circulated online, a detail that adds a chilling layer to an already brutal event. (TN; elDiarioAR) (3), (5)

Why Flor de la V says she feels afraid

De la V said the news had left her unable to sleep and emotionally overwhelmed. She also spoke of feeling exhausted by the repeated pressure to explain her identity and defend her right to live openly. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

Her concern was not only about herself. She said that while she might manage insults directed at her, she feared what could happen when her children were with her. That fear is painfully recognisable to many families: the street should feel ordinary, not like somewhere to calculate risk. (Ciudad; TN) (6), (2)

What is known about the investigation

The attack is being investigated, with reporting describing a group assault against trans women in Palermo. News accounts also said the violence was filmed and shared on social media, prompting public outrage and renewed scrutiny of how targeted abuse can be organised and amplified online. (Infobae; elDiarioAR) (4), (5)

The details matter, but they should be handled with care. The reported injuries are serious, and the investigation will need to establish what happened and who was involved; viral footage alone can rarely provide the full picture. (Infobae; TN) (4), (3)

From online hostility to real-world harm

De la V connected the attack with anti-trans rhetoric circulating in politics and online, arguing that hostile language can help normalise aggression. That is her assessment, rather than a finding of the investigation, but it points to a broader concern: abuse that is treated as harmless talk can shape how vulnerable people are treated in public. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

For readers, the practical response is straightforward: avoid sharing graphic footage, check claims against reliable reporting, and support organisations working with trans communities. Reposting violent clips may extend the attackers’ reach; thoughtful attention can keep the focus on the people harmed. (elDiarioAR; Infobae) (5), (4)

A public response matters

De la V had also urged people to attend the Pride march, presenting collective visibility as a response to intimidation. The incident has prompted fresh discussion of safety and rights for trans people in Argentina, with the investigation now central to understanding the assault and accountability. (Crónica; Infobae) (1), (4)

Her words carry the force of someone who is tired of having to make the case for basic dignity. The hope is that public attention leads not just to expressions of shock, but to safer streets and meaningful support for those targeted. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

It's a small but important first step to listen, verify, and stand with those at risk.

A reported attack on trans women in Buenos Aires’ Palermo neighbourhood has left presenter Flor de la V frightened for herself and her children. Speaking on air, she described a sleepless night and a deeper exhaustion with having to defend her identity, bringing a personal voice to a stark public conversation about safety and discrimination.

Essential Takeaways

  • De la V’s reaction: She said she was afraid to go out with her children after hearing about the attack.
  • A serious reported assault: The incident involved trans women in Palermo and was filmed by the attackers, according to the account.
  • A call for solidarity: De la V urged people to attend the Pride march and spoke out against organised violence.

The attack has made everyday life feel less safe

Flor de la V described feeling frightened after an attack on trans women in Palermo, saying she worried about going out with her children. Speaking on the Olga programme Amanece que no es poco, she said the news had left her distressed and unable to sleep. (TN; Ciudad) (2), (6)

The assault, according to reports, was filmed and shared by the people responsible. That detail makes an already disturbing account feel even harsher: violence becomes not only an attack on its victims, but something displayed for others to watch. (elDiarioAR; TN) (5), (3)

De la V speaks about fear and exhaustion

De la V said she felt tired of repeatedly having to explain her life and sexuality. Her comments went beyond the immediate attack, describing the strain of having to defend her identity over many years. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

She also drew a distinction between facing abuse herself and being out with her children. The fear she described is intimate and practical: the worry that an ordinary trip outside could turn into a moment of danger. (Ciudad; TN) (6), (2)

The reported violence has prompted wider concern

De la V said the attack appeared organised and questioned how far violence had gone. The account says the assailants had circulated messages calling for aggression before the incident, though the details of what happened remain a matter for investigation. (Infobae; elDiarioAR) (4), (5)

She also argued that hostile language in public and online can help legitimise real-world aggression. That was her interpretation of the climate surrounding the attack, rather than a finding about the perpetrators, but it raises a sobering question about the consequences of treating hatred as harmless rhetoric. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

Why solidarity matters now

Before speaking about the attack, De la V had called for people to join the Pride march. For her, turning up together is a way to reject intimidation and show support for a community facing threats. (TN; Telefe) (2), (7)

There’s no easy fix for the fear she described, but listening to those affected is a necessary start. De la V’s account is a reminder that safety and dignity are not abstract issues; they shape whether people feel free to walk through their own neighbourhood. (Ciudad; TN) (6), (2)

It's a small but meaningful act to listen, show solidarity and refuse to normalise abuse.
