Overview

  • During Chief of Cabinet Guillermo Francos’s report, Marcela Pagano began questioning on alleged irregularities at the disability agency.
  • Lilia Lemoine stood in front of the broadcast camera and filmed Pagano with her phone, prompting shouts across the chamber.
  • Chamber president Martín Menem called for order and asked Lemoine to sit so the exchange with Francos could continue.
  • The uproar pushed aside inquiries about possible SIDE involvement, the Spagnuolo audio on alleged bribes, fentanyl deaths, and concerns at Hospital Garrahan.
  • The showdown followed a recent split that produced a new liberal bloc within La Libertad Avanza and echoed prior confrontations between the two deputies.
