The libertarian deputy will have one more year assured as president. In this way, the ruling party guarantees the leadership of the Lower House.
On a day arranged for the appointment of authorities in the Chamber of Deputies of the Nation, Martin Menem was re-elected as president and Freedom Advances He retained leadership of the venue for another year, until December 9, 2025. The ceremony took place in a packed venue, given the 300 libertarian guests who attended the Congress.
Despite speculation that pointed to a rudeness of the PROthere was a quorum in the session that made Menem’s re-election official, which had the support of the libertarian bloc, the PROradicalisms (UCR and Democracy Forever), We make Federal Coalition and Federal Innovation. Although they offered a quorum, both Union for the Homeland like the Civic Coalition They abstained.
In addition to the re-election of Martin Menemthe authorities representing minorities were also renewed.

Interventions in Deputies
Once the ceremony is over, the PRO celebrated the re-election of Martin Menem. The block holder, Cristian Ritondohighlighted his work to “achieve as much consensus as possible, reinstalling as much dialogue as possible in Congress” and thanked him for “the deference he has shown many times to us as a bloc.” In that sense, he pointed out that they supported the Riojan “out of institutional responsibility and because we believe that He has had a very difficult year in a new Government with a block that is not large enough“, dealing with very difficult laws, understanding that a majority had to be formed.”
Inside the UCR, Rodrigo de Loredo stated that Menem “has had a successful presidency. There is merit in his patience and his way of handling issues” and that he had “constructive will in complex moments so that this country could move forward.” “These achievements could not have been obtained without a willingness to support us. I wish we had had that correspondence when we were government,” he said.
The opposition came from Union for the Homelandwhere German Martinez He pointed out that Menem “did not keep his word”: “A distribution of the commission presidencies was not carried out as appropriate.” At the same time, he criticized that “our bloc got tired of the arbitrariness in the use of the word” and recalled that from the Chamber of Deputies “They lent vehicles to go visit genocides in Ezeiza.”
Negotiations with the opposition
The Government, for its part, began managing Menem’s re-election last weektrying to secure it. To that end, he helped the special session promoted by the PRO to discuss a clean record fail, collaborating with the absence of eight libertarian legislators.
From the parliamentary sector they assure that UP had already warned that it was not going to provide a quorum for the preparatory session that designates authorities, if it was decided to advance with the Clean Record bill. The latter prohibits a leader convicted of corruption in the second instance from being a candidate for elective office.
The only time that the ruling party could not elect its own leader to lead the lower house was during the Alliance governmentin 2001, when the radical Rafael Pascual He could not be re-elected and was replaced by the Peronist Eduardo Camaño.
