The DAIA statement against Javier Milei
Through its social networks, the entity shared a very harsh statement against the liberal space. “DAIA, the political representation of the Argentine Jewish community, congratulates the 171 deputies who voted in favor of the project to declare a National Mourning Day on July 18 in homage to the victims of the attack against the AMIA-DAIA headquarters”, started.
“This overwhelming support from the vast majority of the country’s political arc is a clear and hopeful example of how political differences can be overcome when agreements of national interest need to be reached. The project promotes, among other measures, that during that day the national flag remains hoisted at half mast in buildings and public places, in which allusive activities will be promoted,” they stressed.
However, at the end of his message, the organization charged: «The DAIA sorry for downvotes the representatives of Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei and Victoria Villaruel; and the abstentions of Nicolás del Caño, Romina del Plá, Alejandro Vilca and Myriam Bregman, from the Left Front; Monica Frade, from the Civic Coalition; and Paula Omodeo, from Creo Tucumán». The first two voted against and the others abstained from voting.
the liberal defense
Given the repercussion of the event, both deputies came out to defend themselves: “Look at who is operating on us with this. We will never vote by closed book eight projects together sent by the kirchnersimo, “said Javier Milei on his social networks. In addition, Victoria Villarruel argued: «At midnight they put in a package of 8 projects and in 5 minutes they pretended that without knowing what they were about we would vote. With @JMilei we vote no. We do not vote without reading or analyzing the laws that declare or oblige the Argentine people.
