During the debate on Ficha Limpia in Congress, the leader of the Unión por la Patria block, Germán Martínez, challenged the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, to a fight. This tense verbal exchange escalated when Menem responded to the provocation, culminating with Martínez challenging Menem to a physical confrontation in a specific location.
President Javier Milei rejected the altercation between the two legislators, calling the episode "total delirium." Milei expressed his disapproval through his official account, indicating that the exchange was inappropriate and reflected inadequate behavior. Additionally, he criticized those who accuse those who think differently of being violent or spreading hate speech.
The confrontation took place during the Ficha Limpia debate, a project supported by the Executive but rejected by the Unión por la Patria. The discussion was temporarily halted due to the tension generated by the exchange between Martínez and Menem.
Martínez reacted negatively after Menem decided to end the discussion, leading to a heated verbal exchange between them. Martínez got up from his seat, challenging Menem to let him speak. Despite the apparent tension, the debate ultimately resumed in Congress after this incident.
