The national deputy for La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, requested this Monday that your negative votespublished on Thursday in the Lower House, reverted changes. The unusual request was refused and his fellow officers They asked him to be “attentive” at the time of casting your vote.
Milei, in a note addressed to the president of the Chamber, Cecilia Moreau, confirmed her “affirmative vote in relation to two files in particular”, referring to the elimination of the process of proof of life for retirees and pensioners and the declaration of 18 July as a “day of national mourning”, in homage to the victims of the terrorist attack perpetrated against the AMIA.
The two initiatives were voted on in a “package” along with six others, based on an agreement between the different forces that make up the Chamber, with a prior vote that required a special majority of three quarters to include the issues on tables.
Upset by the process, Milei and her blockmate, victoria villarruel, both pre-candidates for president and vice-president of La Libertad Avanza, voted against; but days later many critics arrived for opposing laws that benefit retirees and honor the Jewish community.
Although the liberal leader did not give an account of the negative vote made in the first place, in his note, Milei ratified his “disagreement regarding the treatment and accelerated approval in ‘package’ mode of different files within the Chamber, and I hope it will be considered”.
In response to his request, the presidency of the Chamber clarified that “You can add an observation to the minutes for auditing, but not modify the direction of the vote”. In practice, the modification of the “direction of the vote” is clarified at the bottom of the minutes, in observations.
Responses from different political spaces
In view of this request, the head of the bench of the Frente de Todos, German MartinezHe expressed in his social networks: “The request of the deputy Milei is incorrect; the direction of the vote of a law cannot be changed, no matter how many notes he sends to the Presidency of the body. That is why it is important: 1) to go to the sessions; 2) know what is being voted; 3) pay attention when voting“.
Deputy Alejandro “Top” Rodriguezhead of the Federal interblock, said for his part that “what Milei is proposing by changing her vote from four days ago is consecrating legal insecurity in Argentina.”
“Accepting and replicating this deputy’s decision would mean that the laws will never be definitively approved or disapproved. A institutional tragedy“, Rodríguez came in a statement.
