Controversy in Congress Over LIBRA Cryptocurrency

La Libertad Avanza expresses deep concern about the current situation, as it believes that many individuals must take responsibility for their actions, which are compromising the president of the Nation. This was stated by deputy Óscar Zago during an interview with A24, according to information obtained by the Argentine News Agency (NA).

In his statements, Zago pointed out that the government intended to sabotage the session to prevent the progress of the Investigative Commission on the cryptocurrency $LIBRA. Furthermore, the deputy harshly criticized the president of the Chamber, Martín Menem, accusing him of attempting to prevent the democratic institution from fulfilling its functions.

The legislator expressed regret over the incident of violence with Lisandro Almirón, but reiterated that the altercation originated from the government's attempts to make him abandon his seat to leave the session without a quorum. Amid the controversy in the Chamber of Deputies, Zago emphasized that there are individuals within La Libertad Avanza who could be linked to the scam related to the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, which motivated the attempts to sabotage the session.
