Tierra del Fuego Senator Accuses Vice President of Political Retaliation

Senator for Tierra del Fuego Cristina López sharply criticized Vice President Victoria Villarruel and presented a privilege question against her after denouncing that she suffered 'physical attacks and indecent touches' weeks ago when she was stripped of her office. 'I am not doing this from a personal place or out of anger, but as a reflection of a profound democratic concern. What is happening in this Chamber is serious and intolerable. Authoritarianism and abuse of power reign in the Senate. I say it bluntly and to your face, Madam President: everything that has happened in the last month is a political retaliation on your part for having sworn in for the 30,000 missing,' she emphasized. At the beginning of the session, she stated: 'The mechanism of institutional violence deployed by you, Madam President. I don't understand the joke in which you are laughing. You know it was not like that.'
