According to the legislator of the FIT, retirees are gassed and beaten every Wednesday. "They have little time left," the politician stated in his remarks, which came after the presence of block members at the opening of ordinary sessions. Nicolás del Caño, Christian Castillo, and Mónica Schlotthauer presented with signs accusing President Javier Milei of being a "swindler, starving people, and a repressor," leaving them on their benches and leaving before the speech began.
In line with his fellow block member, Castillo supported the action and mentioned that the messages expressed the majority opinion of working people. He also expressed his solidarity with Deputy Facundo Manes, who was subject to aggression and threats. Schlotthauer, for her part, assured that the signs reflected the sentiment of a significant part of the Argentine population that condemns a "swindling government" and a president who she considers a "puppet of Donald Trump."
Additionally, Schlotthauer condemned the aggressions and threats received by Manes and pointed out that during the opening of ordinary sessions there were more horses than people. She also denounced physical aggressions and restrictions on parliamentary journalists to carry out their work, expressing concern about the growing institutional violence.
In response to the comments of presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni, Nicolás del Caño criticized the group La Libertad Avanza, which he described as a "gang of swindlers, corrupt officials, and low-level thugs," and mentioned concerning cases in different parts of the country, such as raids on Mapuche families, unjustified detentions, and situations of violence in various communities.
