On Wednesday, La Libertad Avanza party deputy Karen Reichardt provoked an environmentalist during the hearing on the reform of the Glacier Law in the Chamber of Deputies. She repeatedly provoked Chubut native Flavia Broffoni, suggesting she "take a little pill." "Why don't you take a little pill?" the libertarian taunted. At the end of her presentation, Broffoni confronted the ruling party official. "Is it appropriate for the deputy sitting here in the front to be attacking all of us?" she asked. Broffoni warned that in the debate on the Glacier Law, "the last reserves of water, which are irreplaceable and non-substitutable, are at stake." "The damage from this reform is irreversible. Bursting water sources is wrong," she emphasized. "Let yourselves be moved by this citizen movement that is a world record. Never has so many people signed up for a public hearing, and those people are not here now," the activist pleaded. For Broffoni, "this process is absolutely unconstitutional," and she directly addressed the "insurers of the mining companies" to warn that "it will taint any investment they dare to make in this country." "I find it extreme that I traveled 2,000 kilometers from burning Patagonia here to state the obvious, which is that without water we die. It is a higher degree of irresponsibility. It's disgusting!" the environmental activist protested. Another speaker, Sol Basurto Muñoz, a representative of self-convened brigades fighting fires in the Chubut region, confirmed the accusation against Reichardt. "She just assaulted me while my colleague was speaking," she confirmed. As outrage over Reichardt spread, a cry of indignation was heard from the back of the room in the annex. "You asked us to travel thousands of kilometers from our provinces and you mock us like this? Without glaciers, there is no water," he explained.
