Meanwhile, in parallel, the relationship between Bullrich and Villarruel had been accumulating a string of disagreements. Spoiler: it didn't go without problems. On Friday, scene one: Karina Milei, Bullrich, Adorni, and Diego Santilli arrived at Congress as if they were a special operations unit. Nothing exploded, but nothing flourished either. 'Don't worry, Federal Security is handling it, it will go smoothly.' But at the door, they ran into Senate security, who calmly informed them they were not authorized. The Federal agents behind tensed the air: 'Either you move or we're coming through anyway.' The Senate security stood their ground: 'We're not moving, we have our orders.' Result: shoving, scuffles, a man nearly thrown into the air, and a scene worthy of a primetime eviction. And so the battle began. From the Bullrist camp, they tried to calm it down. And also with gifts. Patricia Bullrich sent Villarruel a copy of the National Constitution, a gesture that in any diplomatic manual translates to: 'learn your functions, dear.' Villarruel, annoyed but polite, responded with a bottle of wine. And, according to sources in the Senate, more differences than similarities. The Mileis have already chosen sides: Bullrich is their shield against Villarruel. There were no smiles. There was tension and long silences. To secure the seats, the Federal sent agents to occupy them preemptively. Victoria Villarruel took note. Scene two: without their own box, Karina Milei, Santilli, and Adorni ended up sitting in a space originally for the family of the new administrative secretary. They want her to be their counterweight, their symbolic replacement in the legislative majority, and their tool to corner her. Buenos Aires, November 30, 2025 – Total News Agency-TNA – The libertarian infighting once again spilled into the halls of Congress, this time in the form of a political farce where Patricia Bullrich and Victoria Villarruel fought—between shoves, venomous gifts, and ceremonial slights—over who really calls the shots in the new Milei era. What should have been a simple senator swearing-in ceremony turned into an episode worthy of a satirical series, with Karina Milei in the center of the ring, Bullrich as her official shield, and Villarruel asserting 'her house,' as she defined the Senate, with the tone of an empowered concierge. It all started on Thursday night, when Villarruel made it clear she had no intention of letting Karina Milei in if she didn't follow 'the procedures,' i.e., ask for permission directly. 'This is just the beginning.' The presidential sister's response was blunt: 'I don't call anyone.' A while later, Lule Menem and Sharif Menem arrived to complete the presidential delegation. All of this happened before the session began. From Casa Rosada, they see her as a traitor and will seek to quash the vice president's protagonism at all costs. In the Senate, the vice president and her team respond: 'They rule in Casa Rosada; here, we rule.' This is what libertarian institutionalism has come down to: a catfight between two strong women fighting for territory with passive-aggressive gifts, police shoves, and a president determined that his sister never be outranked by his vice president. A Peronist operator, a witness to the historic clash on Friday, summed it up with surgical irony: 'You'd have to rent a box to see the two of them in action.' Translation: 'Have a drink before you keep lecturing me,' referring to the local taverns where they whisper about the senator's fondness for tinted wine. They met without cameras fifteen days ago. In the end, they got in. There were no photos.
