Overview
- During debate on a labor reform bill, deputy Florencia Carignano disconnected cables on an audio console to interrupt proceedings, an act captured on video by deputy Lilia Lemoine.
- Chamber president Martín Menem called the move a vandalic act, said Carignano should have apologized, and voiced support for her expulsion.
- Menem acknowledged there is no two‑thirds majority to remove her and warned such conduct could even force a session to be suspended.
- He said the Chamber’s regulations are outdated and that any new disciplinary mechanism must advance through commission work before a vote.
- Carignano defended her action in radio interviews, said she would do it again to stop the bill, and hurled insults at members of the ruling bloc as tensions over debate limits persisted.
