The Chamber of Deputies of the Nation was the scene of an intense confrontation between Martín Soria, representative of Unión por la Patria, and Lorena Villaverde, from La Libertad Avanza (LLA). The tensions between them have increased in previous debates, such as the one regarding the fire in El Bolsón, when accusations of corruption and drug trafficking arose.
During the session, Soria presented documents linking Villaverde to a cocaine trafficking case in Florida, United States. Villaverde, in turn, is at the center of controversy due to a case in the United States for cocaine possession, a situation she will need to clarify soon.
Amid these accusations and tensions, lawmakers left the chamber while Soria continued to reinforce his criticisms towards the opposition, thus marking an increasing polarization in Congress. The disputes often lead to personal accusations, as occurred with the discussion between Villaverde and Soria, which ultimately diverged towards their respective judicial backgrounds.
In addition to the accusation against Villaverde, it has been revealed that in the past, federal judge María Servini reported Soria and the director of the Federal Penitentiary Service for obstructing an investigation into drug trafficking at the Devoto prison. This generated murmurs among those present in the chamber, thus marking a confrontation in which the cross-accusations have reached a heightened level.
The debate on the "Clean File" project has been the setting for these confrontations, where both legislators exchanged allegations that included drug trafficking, scams, and money laundering. Soria linked Villaverde to illicit activities through her ex-partner, while Villaverde referred to the former minister as "irresponsible" and accused him of manipulating information. The confrontation between them has exposed a historic clash that transcends personal and political matters.
