The national government expressed its strong condemnation of the Senate's decision to reject the "Clean Record" bill, designed to prevent individuals convicted of corruption from running for elected positions. Kirchnerism was accused of protecting the impunity of its leaders.
In an official statement, the President's Office expressed its dissatisfaction: "President Javier G. Milei abhors the attitude of the senators who prioritized their interests over the demands of the people." The Casa Rosada indicated that Kirchnerism is willing to do anything to protect its leaders.
According to the government, the rejection of the bill confirms once again that the political class places its economic and judicial interests above the needs of the Argentine people, recalling previous cases such as the rejection of proposals for the Supreme Court.
The Casa Rosada mentioned that the Senate is solidifying as a refuge for the Argentine political elite, but thanked the support of the blocs that, along with La Libertad Avanza, formed a coalition committed to transparency and the Republic.
In a direct message to the senators who voted against it, the government warned: "President Javier G. Milei will not rest until 'Clean Record' becomes law, ensuring that integrity and justice prevail in Argentine politics."
