After being included in a list of deputies who voted against some articles in particular when they had supposedly given their word to approve them previously,
Carolina Píparo made a statement
on her social networks.
The deputy and former candidate for governor of Buenos Aires for La Libertad Avanza accused the Government of Javier Milei of having "fascist practices."
The controversy arose after an outdated message published by the President's Office.
At 12:16, when the tension over the failed session in the Lower House did not subside, Píparo's name appeared on an extensive list of
"deputies who voted against the people"
, according to the account that represents Milei.
"The
betrayal of their voters
by all the blocks that turned their backs on their campaign promises for a different Argentina stands out. The people will never forget the names of those who, being able to facilitate the reforms that were elected by 56% of The Argentines decided to continue playing into the hands of the caste," they noted in that tweet, broadcast in the first minutes of Wednesday.
Along with Píparo, other deputies appeared, such as Facundo Manes (UCR; he had already expressed himself against the Omnibus Law in the general vote), Julio Cobos (UCR), Florencio Randazzo (We Make the Federal Coalition) and Nicolás Massot (We Make the Federal Coalition).
His name became especially relevant in a hot internal situation.
Píparo was the candidate for governor of the Buenos Aires Province for La Libertad Avanza.
With her, Milei toured the streets of the GBA in a caravan.
She was close to reaching Anses, but her arrival at that box was frustrated.
And before Tuesday's session she had already shown differences with some points of the Omnibus Law.
This Wednesday early afternoon he responded to a tweet from Martín Tetaz (UCR), another of those targeted by the President.
At first,
Tetaz clarified that Píparo "voted in favor of strengthening the fight against drug trafficking and the corruption of minors"
and that "the fascist operation they are carrying out is miserable."
To this post, Píparo responded with heavy ammunition: he spoke of "fascist practices."
It is true Martín and it is very sad to see fascist practices by a space that came to government as a liberal...
Congress has already shown its willingness to generally approve the basic law, emergencies and delegated powers, we will continue working for that.
Greetings!

"It is true Martín and
it is very sad to see fascist practices by a space that came to government as a liberal,"
said the national legislator, former space colleague of Patricia Bullrich and, later, of José Luis Espert.
"Congress has already shown its willingness to generally approve the basic law, emergencies and delegated powers, we will continue working for that," he added.
The point of contention and Píparo's request for "temperance" to Milei
Both Píparo and Tetaz opposed section H of article 4,
which deals with the powers delegated to Javier Milei.
The subsection enables the Executive Branch to "transform, modify, unify or eliminate trusts or public trust funds created by regulations with legal status, including those intended for subsidies, review their origin and destination to achieve greater rationality, efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and control of the use of public resources".
The radical also voted against sections E and F of article 5 of the Omnibus Law.
Before that furious tweet from the President's Office, Píparo had already made a publication in which he asked the Government for "temperance."
"The only negative vote was for ONE SUBSECTION, subsection H of article 4 (composed of eight subsections). Specifically, we voted against a modification proposed by another bloc on trusts," emphasized the deputy.
"We wish the government temperance to bring peace of mind to the Argentines who have had such a hard time for so long," he concluded.
Since then she had chosen silence.
Until this afternoon.
