What the Peronist senators said
During her turn as speaker of the Peronist bloc, legislator González maintained that, according to the Argentine Chamber of Construction, “Between 3,500 and 4,000 public works were paralyzed. More than 100,000 jobs have already been lost in construction. There are more than 200,000 jobs at risk in construction. The industrial manufacturing production index shows a drop of at least 16% “.
“In my province we are talking about 53 paralyzed public works, which are fundamental and of a structural nature for all regional and interregional development. We are talking about more than 8 thousand jobs that we do not have at this moment. We are talking about the domino effect that public works have in all the provinces of the Argentine Republic”Gonzalez added.
Finally, the legislator concluded: “The Basic Law does not benefit the population, quite the contrary. Here we see the serious imbalance in terms of the management that this Government is carrying out, and the lack of territorial knowledge of the problems of each region. I think that without a doubt We should treat law by law, and issue by issue, because it is essential to deepen and truly understand each of our realities, which have nothing to do with this Base Law and do not protect the rights of our provinces or the resources. natural”.
For his part, Senator Mayans starred in one of the most memorable moments of the debate when he carried out his own analysis of the Terminator films to relate them to the management of Javier Milei. “Someone tell him how the Terminator movies end,” she said at the beginning.
“The first one ends up with his head crushed, it is clear that he did not see the movie well because, in reality, the Terminator was the depraved person in the movie. He didn’t understand it or they told him wrong the version of the one that ends with a flattened head. “Someone tell him how the Terminator ended up first, the one that Sarah Connor, a woman, blows his head in.”he added.
“The second Terminator, the T-1000, ends up melted in a… tell him how the second Terminator ended up. The third Terminator, which is the advanced model that is the woman who I don’t know if it is Karina (Milei) or who or what the script is like here, the two end up killing each other and the female Terminator and the male Terminator end up crushed.”he concluded at the end of his speech.
