Victoria Villarruel will be a speaker at a tribute to “victims of terrorism.” Tension with Javier Milei. “That is not my agenda,” the President had warned.
Amid the scandal over the visit of six national deputies from Freedom Advances to genocidaires detained in the Ezeiza prison, Victoria Villarruel will headline tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. in the Blue Room of the Senate an event within the framework of the “International Day of Commemoration of the Victims of Terrorism”.
According to the communication released by the vice president’s office, “for the first time, the Blue Room of the Senate of the Nation will be the scene of an activity that will reveal facts that for decades a part of politics has wanted to hide and that have left deep wounds to us Argentines that have not yet healed. The human consequences of the terrorist attacks that have been carried out in Argentina and other countries will be seen and heard.”
Friendly fire on Victoria Villarruel
Villarruel was the target of friendly fire from La Libertad Avanza due to his silence in the midst of the investigation opened by the Chamber of Deputies to define the institutional responsibility of Martin Menemand also of Patricia Bullrichin facilitating logistics and resources to enter the Ezeiza prison where a bill was being negotiated between genocidaires and libertarians to try to grant them house arrest.
As established by the United Nations since 2017, every August 21, victims of terrorism are remembered and honored in order to promote their rights, fundamental freedoms and raise awareness in society about their needs. In this case, Villarruel organized an event where she will be a speaker alongside members of the Armed Forces and civil society who lost family members due to the violence of armed organizations that confronted the last civil-military dictatorship.
A Senate in turmoil
“On August 27, the Senate will demand Justice, Truth and Reparation for all Victims of Terrorism,” adds the invitation to the event. After a difficult week in the Senate and receiving criticism from the libertarian environment, Vice President Victoria Villarruel continued her visits to the provinces and was with the radical governor of Jujuy, Carlos Sadir.
This act is part of the agenda of discord between Javier Milei and Villarruel which is extensive and expands over time. The vice president was displaced at the beginning of the administration from the management of the areas of Security and Defense, granted to Patricia BullrichThe increase in the allowances for senators also marked a counterpoint in the presidential formula that was strengthened by the stratum of the head of the Senate that was deflated from the last act with the heads of the Armed Forces in the Libertad building.
Last week in an interview, the President asked to delve deeper into the role played by Vice President Victoria Villarruel in coordinating the meeting that included former military officer Alfredo Astiz. “That is not my agenda,” the president said in statements to Radio Rivadavia, and added: “We will have to investigate who initiated that.”
