An unexpected scene in the Argentine parliament momentarily broke the logic of bloc divisions. The ruling party's deputy, Lilian Lemoine, publicly applauded Juan Grabois after the legislator from the Union for the Homeland party demanded to advance a project to make mandatory drug testing for high-ranking officials of the Executive Branch, national lawmakers, police chiefs, and judges, including Supreme Court justices. This brief but visible gesture was followed by applause from other benches of the ruling party and was captured at the end of a tense speech filled with reproaches against the government and constant crossfire in the chamber. The situation occurred at the end of a privilege issue where Grabois delivered a confrontational speech, making political accusations and referring to the march held near the Congress against the labor reform passed by the Senate. He then explicitly thanked Lemoine for applauding his demands. The opposition deputy's speech was constantly interrupted with gestures of disapproval.
