Manes Accuses Chamber President Martín Menem of Corridor Threat at Congress

A silent video of the brief encounter fuels conflicting accounts with no independent corroboration.

Overview

  • Facundo Manes said Martín Menem told him to pray there was no quorum and warned of a brutal media operation against him.
  • Menem publicly rejected the accusation, saying Manes was not telling the truth and that politics requires seriousness, not theater.
  • Footage shared by reporters shows a short, cordial greeting without audible audio, and La Libertad Avanza deputies who were present denied any threat.
  • Manes’ bloc raised the episode on the floor through Pablo Juliano, prompting a sharp exchange during the session.
  • No judicial complaint or audio has been presented, and the dispute unfolds as debate focuses on limiting presidential DNU powers and as the Espert–Fred Machado saga intensifies political tensions.
