Deputy Lourdes Arrieta spoke about her possible return to the ranks of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) in the Chamber of Deputies. Arrieta, who came to Congress representing the party of President Javier Milei and his sister Karina, had a scandalous exit following the controversial visit to repressors detained in the Ezeiza prison. Over time, the Mendoza deputy distanced herself from the ruling party and on several occasions strongly criticized the course taken by the national government. According to Clarín, prior to the last legislative elections, the ruling party would have expressed some interest in bringing back the legislators who had left LLA some time ago, including Arrieta. This was denied by Arrieta herself on her social networks. She said it was "false information about a supposed offer that I never received". "Conflict and lies are not the way to rebuild the foundations of our beautiful country," she stated. Arrieta recalled that long before the results of the October 26 elections, she had repeatedly stated that the path to building Argentina in the 21st century is the path of 2023. She also showed her opposition to the lack of dialogue and to "looking at the other as an enemy", something that in her view "deviates from the guidelines set out in the 2023 electoral campaign". "I maintain my position of contributing to improving the situation in my country, of listening to others and of being the first soldier to support the national government, without ceasing to mark the differences when I consider it necessary. Otherwise, I will understand that there was never any intention of rapprochement," she concluded.
