On Wednesday, amidst chants of 'Petri, Petri, Petri' from the gallery of the Chamber of Deputies and loud applause, the former Minister of Defense was sworn in as a national deputy for Mendoza. On his way to the swearing-in ceremony, Luis Petri returned greetings from the public with a raised hand and, in particular, pointed and gave a thumbs-up gesture, especially greeting President Javier Milei and other members of the presidential gallery. During the oath, Luis Petri, who took it under formula 2 ('By God, by the Fatherland, and by these Holy Gospels'), stated: 'By the National Constitution, for the freedom of Argentines, and under the protection of the Virgin of Carmen of Cuyo, patroness of the Army of the Andes, I Swear!'.
