A chaotic situation erupted during a special session in the Chamber of Deputies, culminating in a fistfight between deputies Oscar Zago (MID) and Lisandro Almirón (La Libertad Avanza). The discussion began when Almirón confronted Zago, calling him a traitor for providing quorum to the session despite a postponement request from deputy Victoria Tolosa Paz.
The verbal confrontation quickly escalated into a physical clash, with Zago and Almirón exchanging blows until other legislators separated them. This fight marked a moment of great tension in an already conflict-laden day.
The president of the lower house, Martín Menem, found himself at a crossroads deciding whether to proceed with the vote on the motion requested by Unión por la Patria. Under pressure from opposition deputies and the rising tension in the room, Menem abruptly ended the session, unleashing the fury of several legislators who approached him in an act of protest.
The session continued overflowing into chaos as other deputies clashed, both verbally and physically, with members of other political blocs. Deputy Rocío Bonaccile threw a glass of water at her counterpart Lilia Lemoine, grabbing everyone's attention in the room and highlighting the escalation of the confrontation.
The tense atmosphere, filled with verbal and physical violence, reached a peak where the intervention of some political leaders was necessary to calm the tempers. However, the session ended in a climate of deep discontent and questioning of the lack of order and institutional respect.
