An international scandal surrounds Javier Milei, who, after the $Libra cryptocurrency scam, decided to appoint two judges to the Supreme Court by decree, Ariel Lijo and Manuel García-Mansilla. This action, according to an opposition bloc, questions the legality in Argentina and the legitimacy of the country's highest judicial body.
Another event that has generated concern is the restriction of media coverage in the Legislative Assembly, where the presence of militants was preferred over free and transparent press, according to opposition reports. Meanwhile, different political blocs have expressed varying positions regarding their attendance at the Legislative Assembly.
The sector led by Cristian Ritondo aims to bring in the largest number of legislators, in contrast with sectors like the radical bloc and other parties that plan their presence. On the other hand, the anticipated absence of blocs such as Unión por la Patria and Democracia para Siempre is noteworthy, highlighting a marked confrontation between the opposition and the government.
The opening of ordinary sessions has generated tensions between the Government and the opposition, in a situation where Javier Milei's presence will be crucial to present the guidelines of the policies to be implemented in the current year. In this context, the decision of several blocs regarding their attendance reflects the tense atmosphere in the legislative arena.
In particular, the Kirchnerist bloc of UxP has decided not to attend the Legislative Assembly, a position that the bloc of deputies led by Germán Martínez could also adopt in upcoming decisions. The uncertainty about the presence of different political blocs in the Assembly highlights the polarization and existing conflicts in the Argentine parliament.
