Buenos Aires, Feb. 12. — The Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei, appeared in a Senate gallery after 00:30, awaiting the vote on the labor reform, to which she joined almost an hour later. Karina Milei arrived with the Chief of Staff, Manuel Adorni; the Minister of the Interior, Diego Santilli; the Undersecretary Eduardo 'Lule' Menem; and the President of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem. The officials entered the chamber as the head of the Peronism bloc, José Mayans, was finishing his speech, just in time to listen to the head of the La Libertad Avanza (LLA) bloc, Patricia Bullrich. Vice President Victoria Villarruel introduced the president's sister, Javier Milei, and other members of the Executive Branch, to which the Secretary General of the Presidency offered a slight smile. Bullrich gave the closing speech, after which the vote was taken, which resulted in a victory: 42 votes in favor and 30 against. Minutes later, as the session continued with the particular vote, the head of the ruling bloc went up to the box to celebrate with national officials, hugging and smiling.
