President Javier Milei denied the rumors spread by opposition sectors about the fall of the Clean Record Bill project in the Senate. In an interview, he defended the authorship of the text and indicated that his government promoted the 'corrected' version of the law. According to Milei, the PRO did not have the necessary votes for the approval of the law and accused Deputy Silvia Lospennato of using the initiative 'to inflate herself in the campaign.'
In his statements, the president held the PRO responsible for the project's failure in the Senate, indicating that they had claimed to have the votes but these were not secured. He stressed that the government worked on an improved version of the project, in collaboration with Alejandro Fargosi and Luis Petri, to avoid possible judicial manipulations that could harm the opposition.
Milei revealed that he proposed signing a commitment with 37 votes before bringing the project to the floor, but the PRO senators refused. Furthermore, he harshly criticized the Republican senators, indicating that they have been in the City for 17 years and still do not have a Clean Record system. He emphasized that the project could have turned into a mechanism to block democracy and disqualify honest politicians.
Amid the controversy, the president labeled the accusations against him as a 'dirty campaign' and defended the work done by his government on the proposal for the law. Following the project's failure in the Senate by one vote, Milei lamented the legislative obstacles and political maneuvers that prevented its approval.
