The events of this Wednesday were marked by violence inside and outside the Congress, repression of retirees and journalists, insults directed at President Javier Milei in Bahía Blanca, and an atmosphere of maximum political and social tension.
Inside the Congress, the Investigative Commission of Criptogate $LIBRA was initiated, and the project to allocate emergency funds to Bahía Blanca after the devastating storm was approved with half sanction.
Protesters overturned and set fire to a police car at the intersection of Avenida de Mayo and Santiago del Estero, in addition to igniting garbage containers and clashing with security forces.
In Bahía Blanca, Milei was received with insults and demands from residents who called for greater state assistance after the storm that left 16 dead and multiple damages.
The day ended with pot-banging protests in various parts of the country, in response to repression and government actions.
The session was surrounded by scandals within the ruling block, with heated discussions, verbal and even physical aggressions among deputies of La Libertad Avanza (LLA), which led to the suspension of the session.
Outside, the mobilization of retirees demanding the extension of the pension moratorium and the restoration of 100% of PAMI medications ended with a severe repression by the Federal Police and the City Police.
There were injuries, arrests, and scenes of extreme violence, such as the attack on a retiree by an officer and the impact of a tear gas cartridge that caused a skull fracture to photojournalist Pablo Grillo. The incidents also led to acts of vandalism.
