LLA Deputy-Elect Karen Reichardt Says She Hasn’t Read Constitution or House Rules Yet

The admission refocuses attention on the readiness of La Libertad Avanza’s newcomer slate for Congress.

Overview

  • Reichardt said on radio that she has not opened the Constitution or the Chamber of Deputies’ regulations, describing them as long, tedious and in small print, and promised to read them this weekend.
  • She received printed copies during a Casa Rosada orientation where Karina Milei handed new legislators the Constitution and the House rulebook, with Lower House president Martín Menem in attendance.
  • According to Reichardt’s account of the meeting, Karina Milei told the incoming bloc that the coming year would be the one in which Congress works the most.
  • A model and TV host turned politician, Reichardt was elected on October 26 to represent Buenos Aires Province for La Libertad Avanza and is set to take office on December 10.
  • Her profile has drawn scrutiny for earlier remarks, including calling non‑voters for LLA an “illness of the mind,” while she casts herself and fellow newcomer Virginia Gallardo as voices of renewal who will largely follow the president’s line.
