She receives the GDE where she is informed that I am going to be traveling on Tuesday. I mean, she receives it 48 hours before the session,” he stated.
“In fact, the nation’s notary general interacted with Dr. Villarruel’s secretary, so the secretary was also notified. On the same day that Manuel Adorni himself traveled, he confirmed that I was traveling to Italy, around 12/12:30“added the President.
After recounting his point of view of the situation, the libertarian leader assured that “the session is invalid“. Regarding the actions of his running mate, the top president assured: “You cannot do what he did, because Argentina has a republican system. This is how the counterweight system works. The moment I go on a trip, acephalia automatically occurs, then it is the responsibility of the Executive. If he presides over the session of Congress, He is working in the legislative branch, but at the same time he is President of the Nation and that violates the division of powers”.
However, he also assured that the Upper House could do it again since due to “the numbers, It is clear that we all love the Kueiders of life outside“. In this sense, Milei pointed directly against Kirchnerism and, despite agreeing with the expulsion, assured that this political sector has a “inconsistency problem“. “They take this man out, which seems good to me, And why not Parrilli?“, accused the President.

Linked to the failure of Ficha Clean, the president responded Those who accuse him opposed the project to polarize with the president of the PJ, Cristina Kirchnerand compete with her in the 2025 elections. “Those who defend Clean File, the only thing they did was put Cristina in the ring (Kirchner), generate the idea of proscription, bring the ghost of Perón in 1955, who was banned and 18 years later he returned and made another disaster,” he compared.
But so that there are no doubts, he stated that for him the former president should be imprisoned. However, he reiterated that approving the project as it is will generate an “epic of proscription.”
The possible appointments by decree in the Supreme Court
The applications of Ariel Lijo and Manuel García Mansilla to occupy two positions in the Supreme Court of Justice made by Javier Milei have not yet managed to gather consensus to be approved. Given this situation, the president did not rule out the possibility of appointing them by decree.

If the lawsuit appears and the Senate does not resolve it, I have to resolve it. So, temporarily I resolve it that way and after the Senate validates or rejects it,” he anticipated.
