Argentina: Breakup among Libertarian lawmakers imminent
Libertarian Congresswoman Lourdes Arrieta is causing a rift within President Javier Milei’s Parliamentarians by accusing House Speaker Martín Menem of derogatory remarks towards female deputies. Arrieta’s actions, including visits to prison inmates linked to political campaigns, have led to potential expulsions of her and other lawmakers from the party’s bloc.
In a radio interview, Arrieta criticized the political climate and leaked information about a bill allegedly granting house arrest to convicted genocidal officers. She also exposed Menem’s disrespectful comments towards her, questioning the integrity of those in power and their commitment to freedom.
Arrieta’s revelations have stirred controversy and highlighted the clash of ideals within the Libertarian party, emphasizing the need for transparency and integrity in politics.
