To the president Javier Milei broke up the dissimulation operation around the corrupt Peronist senator Edgardo Kueider -the man who was arrested in Paraguay for trying to smuggle 200 thousand dollars cash without declaring. This Friday, Milei made it known in the media his anger with Vice President Victoria Villarruelmain internal rival. Since Milei traveled to Italy on the same day that the Senate voted to expel Kueider, The Government let the version spread that the session would not be validbecause it was appropriate that Villarruel was fulfilling her substitute role in the Executive Branch and not as president of the Upper House.
Is this session void? EITHER The Basic Law is void? Kueider was one of the Peronist legislators who put on the wig to approve this corrupt law. With his expulsion, the Government loses an “encumbered” legislatora member of the political caste who allowed himself to be bribed throughout the year, to attend to Milei’s wishes within the National Congress. Of course it was not the only one, there is also the example of Lucia Crexellwho was offered a diplomatic position in Paris in exchange for his vote. It is a law of surrender, with attacks on labor rights and national sovereignty, which was approved with violent repression in the streets and with the undisguisable purchase of the will of several legislators.
The Left was the first political force to present a project to annul the Bases Law: There is already enough evidence that they were corrupt votes.
Kueider’s expulsion confirms that bribes were paid to approve the Base Law. Therefore, the law IS VOID. No judge can apply it and Congress must declare its nullity immediately. No complicity with corruption.

For its part, Kirchnerism decided to promote a similar campaign. But their main objective regarding this scandal has already been achieved: the expulsion of Kueider to leave the place vacant for Stefanía Cora from La Cámpora. So the most likely thing is that the initiative to nullify the law, on the part of Peronism, will remain a mere speech.
It was the judge’s resolution Sandra Arroyo Salgado the one that gave the PRO the push so that its senators decided to vote against Kueider. And surely also the journalistic investigation that revealed another undeclared sum, by its head of the Deputies block Cristian Ritondo. Another who voted in favor of the Bases Law. around $2,600,000 in offshore companies and properties in Miami, put the PRO in a complicated place. They have probably decided to vote for expulsion so as not to get stuck in the defense of corruption within the Senate.
Since Javier Milei assumed the presidency (and before), the party founded by Mauricio Macri has done nothing other than seek to merge with the Government. Now, facing the mid-term elections, and faced with the audacity on the part of La Libertad Avanza to want to compete list against list in the City of Buenos Aires, the PRO seeks to differentiate itself and recover some of its own personality, to resist in its bastion yellow. This was expressed in the electoral event led by Macri, this Thursday, from where he made it clear that “support for vetoes is ending.” We will have to see it to believe it.
What is striking is that also The senators of La Libertad Avanza aligned themselves with the expulsion movement. Perhaps with the desire to quickly solve the corruption scandal of and senator, don’t let it be something that drags the thread any further and others begin to fall like dominoes. It is a lie that this is an anti-caste Government, so it is very likely that terror has spread within the milista caste. Especially since the shelving for Ritondo shows that no one is shielded. in the same mudsings the tango.
In Javier Milei’s dystopian imagination everything can be bought and everything can be sold. Organs, babies, votes. And it must be said that the different parties and coalitions of the Argentine political regime helped him in the construction of a great shopping center within Congress, to achieve his authoritarian objectives. The union leaders did their thing, agreeing on labor reform in one sector, and in another, dispersing the energies of struggle to bring the resistance to a dead end.
But there is no reason to naturalize this. The Base Law is a scam against working people, young people and retirees, who also put their bodies in front of Congress to reject it, along with combative unionism and the Left. If a senator has just been expelled for an act of corruption that also affects the law that he helped pass, this law must also be declared null and void..
