During a plenary session of the Labor Legislation, Budget, and Treasury committees, national deputy for the Left Front Nicolás del Caño harshly criticized his counterpart from La Libertad Avanza, Lilia Lemoine, after the libertarian interrupted him with jeers and called his arguments against the labor reform "false".
"They thought they could take 50% of the salary from a person with cancer. They defend these brutalities," the opposition legislator began. At that moment, Lemoine began to hold her head and mutter reproaches, intending to ridicule the left-wing figure. Although the ruling party deputy was several meters away, Del Caño noticed Lemoine's sarcastic gestures and loud laughter and shouted back at her.
"This rushed way of doing things so that people don't even find out what they're going to take... What are they so afraid of debating... I don't know what you're laughing at," he said.
"Go to Cuba, go to Cuba, go to Cuba," retorted Lemoine, resorting to the easy association between the left and the Caribbean island. Addressing Lemoine in a state of agitation, Del Caño insisted that with the labor reform, "you'll manage to take your vacations and you'll earn five million pesos, so don't come and stir up trouble." He added: "We are here to defend the workers. You go to Miami. Workers can't have vacations, they won't get paid for overtime. You, who earn millions of pesos and want to vote for that and have no one know about it. You, because you don't have problems," he snapped at Lemoine, who did not stop laughing mockingly.
"It's false, brother, it's false," Lemoine retorted during the plenary session of the Labor Legislation, Budget, and Treasury committees, as observed by the Argentine News Agency. Del Caño continued: "You can take your vacations with your children in Miami, but people are going to have their vacations of a few days at the coast with their families taken away." "No way," Del Caño exploded.
In response to requests for explanations about supposed trips to the city in the U.S. state of Florida, Del Caño reaffirmed that some government officials "go on vacation to Miami three, four, or five times a year".
