If those changes did not prosper, the libertarian block resolved to abstain.__IP__The discussion exposed a new political difference around the commemoration of March 24. In this context, Bullrich became the main libertarian voice against the text approved by the upper house.#AgencyNWhile most blocks accompanied the declaration promoted by De Pedro, the ruling bloc objected to the chosen wording and sought to install a different interpretation of the institutional sense of the statement.Buenos Aires, March 18 (NA) – National Senator Patricia Bullrich questioned the declaration approved this Wednesday by the Senate to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the coup d'état of March 24, 1976, and stated that it was a “biased and exclusive” pronouncement.The head of the ruling bloc rejected the text promoted by the peronist Eduardo 'Wado' de Pedro and, after the vote, disseminated a message in which she pointed to kirchnerism for its role in the construction of human rights policy.On social networks, Bullrich maintained that “kirchnerism has taken over human rights for decades to turn them into a political business,” and added that that space “imposed a narrative, persecuted those who thought differently and indoctrinated an entire generation.”In that same message, she emphasized: “Today they repeated the same with a biased and exclusive declaration in the Senate of the Nation” and closed with the phrase “the monopoly of memory is over.”The resolution finally approved expressed the “permanent commitment to Memory, Truth and Justice” and reaffirmed the democratic consensus built since 1983, with references to Nunca Más, the continuity of trials for crimes against humanity, and the defense of the rule of law.The text was approved with 49 affirmative votes, while La Libertad Avanza abstained with 20 votes; in addition, there were three absences, as the Argentine News Agency was able to ascertain.During the session, Bullrich tried to introduce an alternative wording.The officialist proposal replaced the formula “Memory, Truth and Justice” with a reference to the defense of the constitutional order, the rule of law, and republican democracy.It also incorporated a condemnation of “any type of violence” and a ratification of the democratic consensus enshrined in Nunca Más.
