Tras la polémica por Kueider, Villarruel hizo un gesto de lealtad a Milei

Villarruel Denies Involvement in Political Maneuvering Outside La Libertad Avanza

Buenos Aires, Argentina – Senate President Victoria Villarruel has publicly denied participating in any political ‍maneuvering outside of La Libertad Avanza, the political party led by ‍President⁤ Javier⁤ Milei.⁢ Her statement comes amidst growing controversy ⁣surrounding the recent‍ expulsion ⁢of Senator Edgardo Kueider.

In a post⁤ on X ⁢(formerly Twitter), Villarruel addressed‍ recent communications from othre political parties claiming to ⁤represent her views. “There is no room for moderation today,” she wrote. “I am not participating in any political maneuvering, and when ⁣I do, it will be where President Milei asks ⁤me to.”

Villarruel emphasized her loyalty to Milei and la Libertad Avanza, recalling their early days fighting against ⁢the Kirchnerist government. “We were only two deputies with President Milei against the kirchnerists, who are the same ones in power today,” she stated. “They made our lives unachievable, mistreated us, ⁤and tried to denigrate us at every chance. But despite that, we⁣ supported each other, knowing that the destiny of Argentina was shining.”

The senator’s statement follows a public dispute between her and President Milei,who is currently in Italy. Milei questioned villarruel’s decision to ⁣convene a⁤ Senate session while he⁣ was ⁣abroad, arguing that she⁢ should have been in charge of the Executive branch. This sparked debate over‍ the validity of⁣ Kueider’s expulsion, a key figure in the passage of the Ley Bases, who is currently detained in Paraguay for smuggling. Milei declared the expulsion null and void, accusing Villarruel‍ of knowingly proceeding despite her obligation ⁢to the Presidency.

The rift between Milei⁣ and Villarruel has deepened, with Milei making pointed remarks about‍ Villarruel’s actions in recent interviews. This internal ⁤conflict within La Libertad Avanza raises questions about the future ⁢stability of the ruling party and its ability to effectively govern.

Milei⁣ Defends Trip Amidst Senate Scandal, Villarruel Stays Silent on Future Plans

Buenos Aires, Argentina – Amidst the fallout from the unprecedented expulsion of Senator Edgardo Kueider,⁤ libertarian presidential candidate Javier Milei defended his recent trip to Italy, stating that⁢ his absence was publicly known and did not hinder his ⁤involvement in the situation.Milei, speaking from Rome, emphasized that‍ his travel plans were ‍widely disseminated and that he remained informed about developments. “The same Thursday,[Manuel] Adorni confirmed that I was traveling to Italy,and⁤ this was reported by all the media,” Milei told radio host Luis ‍Majul. “Moreover, when I finished signing [documents], the notary repeatedly called [Villarruel], and then ⁢they wrote to the secretary, who didn’t answer either,” he added, seemingly referencing Vice President Victoria Villarruel.

Villarruel, who has been the subject of speculation regarding⁤ a potential ⁢political⁢ maneuver against Milei, denied any involvement in an independent political operation.⁣ “I ⁢am not ⁣participating in any political buildup and will only do⁢ so if Milei‍ asks me to,” she stated, responding to rumors of a possible challenge to ⁢Milei’s leadership ⁣within the government.

This stance aligns with previous‍ statements made by Villarruel’s associates in November,who asserted that she⁢ had no intention of distancing herself⁣ from the administration or forming her own political faction ahead of the 2025 elections.The Senate’s historic decision to ⁤expel Kueider, an Entre Rios senator, for alleged moral impropriety has sent ⁢shockwaves through Argentine politics. Kueider, whose term was set⁤ to expire next year,‍ will be replaced by a staunch Kirchnerist ⁤militant from⁢ La Cámpora. The expulsion, approved by a vote of 60 to 6 with one abstention, followed Kueider’s arrest in ⁤connection with a money laundering investigation.

Prior to the vote, Kueider vehemently denied the accusations⁣ against him, claiming that the money found in his posession was ⁤declared and that the⁣ investigation lacked openness.”They are saying that they⁣ took all the money from my backpack, and that’s ‍not true, it’s a lie,”⁢ he insisted. “They cannot take a disciplinary measure, and ⁣even less an expulsion, based on a presumption. I think⁢ it’s an institutional madness,” he added.

The expulsion of Kueider marks a significant progress in Argentine politics, raising ⁤questions about the ⁤future of Milei’s coalition and the potential for ⁤further internal divisions.

Senator Kueider Fights ⁣Expulsion, Files‍ Lawsuit Challenging Senate Session

Buenos Aires, Argentina – Embattled Senator Luis kueider ⁣is⁣ fighting ⁤back against his expulsion from the Argentine Senate, filing a legal challenge that questions the validity of the session that removed him from office. Kueider’s ⁣lawyer, Maximiliano Ruiz, presented an injunction to the courts, arguing that the remarkable session held on December 12th, which resulted in Kueider’s expulsion, was unconstitutional.The move comes after Kueider was ousted‍ from the⁤ Senate ⁣following⁢ a ⁢heated debate over his controversial statements and actions. The expulsion, a rare occurrence in Argentine politics, has sparked debate about the limits of free ‍speech and the balance of power within the government.

adding fuel to the fire, Senator Carlos‍ Paggoto, a member of the libertarian caucus, raised concerns about the legality of the session itself. Paggoto argued that ⁣Vice President Victoria Villarruel, who presided over the⁣ session, should not have done so while President Javier Milei was ⁢out of the country. According to Paggoto, Villarruel should⁢ have been fulfilling her duties as head of the Executive⁣ branch, not presiding over the Senate.

This claim, while controversial ⁣among legal experts, has further inflamed tensions within the government. Villarruel has defended her actions, stating that she was unaware of Milei’s travel plans. The Casa Rosada, the ‍presidential⁢ residence,⁣ countered by releasing a message allegedly sent to Villarruel’s private secretary informing her of Milei’s trip to⁣ Europe on Tuesday morning.

The legal challenge filed⁣ by Kueider adds another layer of⁤ complexity to an already contentious⁤ situation. The outcome of⁢ the case could⁤ have significant implications for the future of Argentine politics, possibly setting a precedent for how the Senate handles controversial cases and the ⁤balance of power between⁣ the Executive and Legislative branches.

From VP to ⁢Acting President: Biden Briefly‍ Hands Reins to Harris

Washington D.C. – ‍In a routine but symbolic⁣ move, President Joe Biden temporarily transferred presidential power to Vice President Kamala Harris on Friday morning. The transfer, a standard procedure when the president undergoes a medical procedure requiring anesthesia, ⁢lasted⁢ approximately one hour and‍ fifteen minutes.

Harris assumed the role of Acting President while Biden underwent a colonoscopy at Walter Reed National⁣ Military Medical Centre.

“So, I’m about to transfer power to the Vice President for the period of the procedure,” Biden said in a brief‍ video message released before the procedure.”She’s‍ all set, she knows what to do.”

Harris, ⁤who made history as the frist female Vice President,⁣ acknowledged the transfer on social media, writing, “Today, I will be Acting President as President biden undergoes a routine medical procedure. I spoke with him ⁤this ⁢morning, ‍and he is doing well.”

The White House emphasized that the ⁣transfer of power‍ was⁤ a ⁣precautionary measure and that Biden ⁤was in good ⁣health. Press⁣ Secretary Jen Psaki ‍assured the public that the President was “in good spirits” and would resume his duties shortly after the procedure.

This transfer of power, though brief, highlights the ⁤established line of succession in ‍the U.S. government and underscores the importance of a smooth transition in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
