In light of Lali's words, Lucía Peker of ''[[Infobae]]'' noted: "The concern expressed by Lali Espósito on social media about the 'danger' of the election results reflects the fear of many women regarding the advance of an electoral force that denies [[gender violence]], [[wage inequality]], and [[Cyberbullying|digital violence]] affecting young women when explicit sexual images are shared."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/opinion/2023/08/15/la-libertad-de-las-mujeres-no-avanza-retrocede/|title=La libertad de las mujeres no avanza, retrocede|first=Lucía|last=Peker|date=15 August 2023|access-date=15 February 2024|language=es|website=[[Infobae]]|archive-date=16 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216004856/https://www.infobae.com/opinion/2023/08/15/la-libertad-de-las-mujeres-no-avanza-retrocede/|url-status=live}}</ref>

Despite initially finishing second against Massa in the first round of the [[2023 Argentine general election]], Milei emerged victorious in the [[Two-round system|runoff]], securing the [[President of Argentina|presidency of Argentina]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-67470549|title=Javier Milei: Argentina's far-right outsider wins presidential election|date=20 November 2023|access-date=15 February 2024|work=[[BBC News]]|archive-date=24 November 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231124015721/https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-67470549|url-status=live}}</ref> Since Lali expressed her stance back in August, she has faced relentless backlash.

After dismissing such an "absolute delusion" and explaining that the compensation is not only for her but for the more than 200 people working on her shows, Lali metaphorically explained that the hostility towards her was like "foam" created by the president and his media to cover up something bigger. Many connected this to the treatment [[Omnibus Law]] proposed by [[Presidency of Javier Milei|Milei Government]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elpais.com.uy/tvshow/personajes/lali-esposito-rompio-el-silencio-sobre-las-acusaciones-de-milei-y-los-rumores-de-romance-con-pedro-rosemblat|title=Lali Espósito rompió el silencio sobre las acusaciones de Milei y los rumores de romance con Pedro Rosemblat|date=24 January 2024|access-date=15 February 2024|work=[[El País (Uruguay)|El País]]|language=es|archive-date=24 January 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240124150602/https://www.elpais.com.uy/tvshow/personajes/lali-esposito-rompio-el-silencio-sobre-las-acusaciones-de-milei-y-los-rumores-de-romance-con-pedro-rosemblat|url-status=live}}</ref>

Political persecution persisted for months, involving ongoing interactions and social media posts by the president directed at Lali. In February 2024, the singer took the stage at the iconic [[Cosquín Rock]] festival. During "[[Quiénes Son?]]", a song characterized as a sarcastic commentary on online hate culture, she altered the lyrics of one verse to "Que si vivo del Estado" (English: "That I live off the State") in direct response to the actions of Milei and the media.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pagina12.com.ar/711948-desde-el-escenario-del-cosquin-rock-lali-esposito-respondio-|title=Desde el escenario del Cosquín Rock, Lali Espósito respondió tras los ataques virtuales dirigidos por Javier Milei|work=[[Página 12]]|date=11 February 2024|access-date=15 February 2024|language=es|archive-date=16 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240216004857/https://www.pagina12.com.ar/711948-desde-el-escenario-del-cosquin-rock-lali-esposito-respondio-|url-status=live}}</ref> Days later, the president expressed his opinion once again in an interview with ''[[La Nación]]'': {{blockquote|"When Córdoba hosts Cosquín Rock, which is a private event, it receives one billion pesos in [[subsidies]]. All the artists who were there, for example, Lali 'Depósito,' were paid by the State. But Lali 'Depósito' received payments from various governments. In one of the concerts, she received 350 thousand [[US dollars|dollars]].

The following day, numerous figures from Argentina's [[Music of Argentina|music]], [[Television in Argentina|television]], and [[Cinema of Argentina|film industries]], as well as [[Politics of Argentina|politicians]] and other notable public figures expressed their support for Lali and the right to [[free expression]]. The list included [[María Becerra]], [[Nicki Nicole]], [[Duki (rapper)|Duki]], [[Ricardo Mollo]] and [[:es:Catriel Ciavarella|Catriel Ciavarella]] of [[Divididos]], [[Marilina Bertoldi]], Andrés Ciro Martínez of [[Ciro y los Persas]], [[Andrés Calamaro]], [[Dante Spinetta]], [[:es:Juliana Gattas|Juliana Gattas]] of [[Miranda!]], [[Leonardo Sbaraglia]], [[Moria Casán]], [[Carla Peterson (actress)|Carla Peterson]], [[Pablo Echarri]], [[Ofelia Fernández]], and [[Guillermo Moreno]] among many others.<ref name="Support" /><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/02/15/artistas-politicos-y-famosos-respaldaron-a-lali-esposito-tras-las-criticas-de-javier-milei/|title=Artistas, políticos y famosos respaldaron a Lali Espósito tras las críticas de Javier Milei|work=[[Infobae]]|date=15 February 2024|access-date=15 February 2024|language=es|archive-date=15 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240215184523/https://www.infobae.com/politica/2024/02/15/artistas-politicos-y-famosos-respaldaron-a-lali-esposito-tras-las-criticas-de-javier-milei/|url-status=live}}</ref>

That same day, Lali posted an [[open letter]] directed at Milei in which she shared her work history since the age of 10, highlighting her success in television and her dedication to music for over a decade. She also expressed pride in her achievements, including buying a house for her parents and performing in sold-out stadiums. While she stated her respect for Milei's stance on culture, she criticized the demonization of the industry and the unfair perception in his speech. Additionally, she asked the president to choose a path that benefited all citizens and advocates for the freedom to think differently.
