Lemoine and Pagano Clash on Chamber Floor as Vice President Demands Order

The filmed confrontation escalated with an allegation of a hand strike during debate on limits to DNU use.

Overview

  • Lilia Lemoine approached Marcela Pagano and Lourdes Arrieta while recording on her phone, trading insults as Lemoine accused Pagano of striking her hand and showed redness on camera.
  • Cecilia Moreau interrupted proceedings and told both deputies to stop fighting after their shouting overpowered a speech by Marcela Coli.
  • The clash unfolded during a session that also dealt with limits on the use of DNU and a request from Judge Mirabelli concerning measures related to José Luis Espert.
  • Lourdes Arrieta broadcast the episode live on Instagram, Lemoine later posted a five‑minute video on X, and Pagano responded online with taunts and accusations.
  • Following the incident, Lemoine asked Speaker Martín Menem to apply a sanction under chamber rules, and there was no immediate response from the presidency.
