This Wednesday, everything was on fire in Congress. On one hand, the Chamber of Deputies gave half-sanction to the project known as ‘Super RIGI’, a regime that grants tax, customs, exchange rate, and regulatory benefits for 30 years to investments exceeding 1 billion dollars. The initiative obtained 130 votes in favor, 106 against, and 7 abstentions, with support from Pro, the UCR, MID, and other provincial blocks aligned with the official agenda.
But the real bomb exploded in the Senate, where the ruling party tried everything to get Chief of Cabinet Manuel Adorni to deliver his management report. The move, however, ended in a monumental blunder. Patricia Bullrich, head of the libertarian block in the upper house, had announced that the session featuring Adorni would be suspended. But just minutes later, Adorni himself came out to say he was available to the Senate to go on July 2.
The message landed like a bucket of cold water at Balcarce 50, where they were trying to downplay the escalation of tension. Near Bullrich, however, the discomfort was unmistakable. ‘Everything was staked, he managed to change it in Labor Parliamentary, only for what happened to happen,’ they fired from her circle, with an anger they could not hide.
Meanwhile, in the province of Buenos Aires, the session of the Buenos Aires Senate also had its share of tension. Senator Jorge Paredi, from Fuerza Patria, tried to lighten the mood with a vuvuzela of the Argentine flag, but the backdrop was the clash between Vice Governor Verónica Magario and block leader Sergio Berni, which exposed the internal strife of the PJ.
And in the midst of all this mess, President Javier Milei is preparing to travel to Madrid, his sixth visit to Spain since taking office. He is accompanied by Minister Sandra Pettovello and Chancellor Pablo Quirno, who will join from Panama. Milei will speak on Friday at the San Pablo CEU University, where Spanish economist Javier Morillas Gómez awaits him with open arms.
But not everything is politics: the Justice Department found cocaine and weapons in the Palermo apartment where Jésica Cirio lives with her new partner. Court records indicate there were two bags: one with 0.83 grams of a pink substance that could be tusi, and another with 1.57 grams of a granular, brownish substance. A new scandal that splashes former mayor Martín Insaurralde, whose surname remains synonymous with power and shady dealings.
On the international front, Chancellor Quirno announced that Argentina joins the ‘Pax Silica’ initiative, launched by the United States to secure artificial intelligence supply chains against Chinese influence. The accession will be formalized at a summit in Washington, which will be attended by Ambassador Alec Oxenford.
Meanwhile, the government came out to challenge an editorial from LA NACION on the salary crisis of the Armed Forces, calling the information ‘false’ and assuring that it is an orderly reconstruction process. But the reality is that military personnel continue to resort to other jobs to make ends meet, and units are divesting themselves of historic buildings and fields.
boludo para mi bullrich tiene toda la razon en reventar a adorni no podes ofrecerte a informar cuando la jefa ya puso pausa el rigi es un desastre pero la interna nos hace ver como payasos kukas y zurditos festejan que verguenza de liberales posta se van a la mierda
para mí estos libertarios de mierda se cagan de risa mientras el pueblo se muere de hambre. Bullrich y Adorni son dos caretas que se pelean las migajas del poder. esto huele a circo berreta de vendepatria. ¡fuera todos los políticos!
