Both Buenos Aires leadersthey shared an alliance in the Legislature of the city of Buenos Aires but, with the dissolution of Together for Changetheir political positions began to differ. Being two high-profile representatives, both Ferraro and Giudici usually take the floor and antagonize in this new arrangement of positions of the Chamber of Deputies: he PRO decidedly aligned with La Libertad Avanzawhile the Civic Coalition as a frequent promoter of proposals within the opposition sector.
This situation was repeated in the plenary session of commissions on Wednesday, where Maximiliano Ferraro was the author of the project with majority opinion, while Silvana Giudici She was the one who defended the wording that the minority office obtained. Parliamentary sources indicate that the deputy would have told him “son of a bitch” off microphone to his colleague, who approached and He began to shout at her. “How are you going to tell me that, you who have known me for 20 years?” Giudici reiterated, and added: “Papanata, go with the Kirchnerists.” “Take charge,” Ferraro repeated steadily. “Oh, where is the gender issue?“, the deputy concluded until they were separated.
Apology from Maximiliano Ferraro
Minutes after what happened, Silvana Giudici He apologized to his colleague: “I await public apologies for the false accusation and the attempted physical assault of deputy Maximiliano Ferraro. “We have known each other for more than 20 years and today it seemed like another person lying along with Kirchnerism.”
The deputy Maximiliano Ferraro He made a publication on his social networks with his release: “I apologize for having participated, along with another colleague, in conduct that is not up to the debate. that this Honorable Chamber of Deputies demands of us”.
However, he noted: “In the same way and in the same spirit, I expect the appropriate apology for the unfounded and lying accusation of any physical assault and for being called “son of a bitch” by the deputy Silvana Giudici who felt addressed when she made a substantial proposal about the pressures from Codere and the gaming lobby in the generic and ambiguous wording regarding the limitation of publicity of the minority opinion”.
Online betting: what the bill passed in the House of Representatives says
The proposal you received majority opinion seeks prohibit the advertising, promotion and sponsorship of online gamblingof any kind, including those made by influencers, entertainment celebrities, athletes, sports institutions and posters in stadiums.

The granting of bonuses or vouchers by betting houses is prohibited, as well as the use of credit systems and social assistance benefit cards.
Another major problem that the project seeks to stop is the access of minors to these platforms. In this way, it is proposed biometric identification of users at the beginning of each session and after a while of playing, using the database of the National Registry of Persons (RENAPER) to validate identity remotely, through facial recognition.
At the same time, online gaming platforms and systems are required to meet a series of security requirements. responsible betting that allow consumers to access true information about the practices in which they participate, their user history, time spent online, self-exclusion mechanisms, the possibility of establishing time and money limits and alerts, and help and assistance sections.

This will help the person who believes they have problems with gambling to self-exclude for up to 24 monthsand establishments and online platforms must enforce this prohibition. The project establishes sanctions of penalties and fines for non-compliance by the owners and third parties involved, among others. 3 to 10 years in prison.
