The internal conflict in La Libertad Advances (LLA) adds chapters, now with new statements from the deputy Lilia Lemoinewho said this Friday that he suffered a threat from her block mate Marcela Pagano, marginalized from the libertarian space after being unrecognized as president of the Impeachment Commission of Deputies. “I am not afraid to say it. Marcela Pagano threatened to denounce me,” she explained.
Although she did not specify the reasons behind the potential complaint, the libertarian legislator theorized that it was about her statements against the lawyer Franco Bindi with whom, according to Lemoine, Pagano has a link since the controversy surrounding the impeachment in the House of Representatives began.
“Franco Bindi suddenly began to link up with Marcela Pagano. She does not admit to having a link with him, and yet it is known that she does. At the same time, strange things began to happen, such as the deputy resigning in the summer from all her committees, she had been given three, and not wanting to chair any, not even the Freedom of Expression committee, because she said that her fellow journalists were going to kill her for the barbarities Javier said. [Milei]That’s the level of loyalty he has. That explains why we opposed him presiding over the impeachment trial.“, he explained.
There he spoke about the attacks he received from the journalist. “She has a pinned tweet insulting me in a horrible way,” he said in relation to a post pinned on the account of X from Pagano where he calls her a “mythomaniac.” “I resigned from a commission because of the public insults she gave me. I’m tired. For the sake of the block I have to say it.. Because if you throw out the one who carries out the atrocity but leave the mastermind…”, he added, although he finally maintained that the real author was Franco Bindi. “But, who brought him?”, he argued in TN.
Earlier on Friday, Lemoine criticized the vice president, Victoria Villarruel, due to the controversy caused by the event he presided over in the Senate where he stated that he would push for the reopening of all cases of victims of terrorism and that he would imprison all former members of the armed group Montoneros.
In this regard, Lemoine assured that the head of the Upper House cannot “persecuting people in a democracy” and remembered the past of Patricia Bullrichone of President Javier Milei’s most trusted officials. “Are you going to put the Minister of Security in jail too?” the libertarian legislator asked in radio statements.
“If the vice president is not fulfilling the roles as appropriate or is doing things that show that she is with the vice cursethey must be said,” said the libertarian legislator in CNN Radio. This is the second time in two days that Lemoine has targeted Villarruel, and on this occasion he spoke, in particular, about the event he held for the International Day of Commemoration and Tribute to the Victims of Terrorism in the Senate. There, Villarruel sought to challenge “the official story” and announced that he will seek the reopening of cases of victims of terrorism “so that it is Justice that does what it should have done more than 20 years ago.”
“All the Montoneros must be in prison, answering for bloodying our Nation,” Villarruel said last Tuesday. Her position generated tension in the Government, which did not hesitate to distance itself from her statements and maintain that they corresponded to an agenda of the vice president. Lemoine attacked her repeatedly, especially after the visit of six LLA deputies to repressors convicted of crimes against humanity in the Ezeiza prison, of which he accused her of “washing her hands.”

Yesterday, the criticism focused on her act in the Senate: “This is going from bad to worse, because she said ‘we are going to put all the Montoneros in jail’. How do I manage this?” This Friday, she deepened it by adding an extra element, corresponding to Patricia Bullrich’s past. “She is carrying out a proselytizing political campaign and saying barbarities. She is not defending the people who accompanied her, supported her and defended her against all odds, expecting something from her. She abandoned them and, to cover it up, she puts on an act saying ‘we are going to put all the Montoneros in jail’. First, I say: Who? Because the Executive Branch is not the Judicial Branch. Second, why does the vice president have to persecute people in a democracy? And third, is she also going to put the Minister of Security in jail? Because she is working well,” she claimed.
The complaints continued around her relationship with Javier Milei. “The generalizations she made scared me. And not only that, her image depends on her relationship with Javier, and hearing her say that they are friends and that if there is a problem they will fix it… You’re not a friend, you’re the vice president and he is the President,” he crossed.

Still, Lemoine justified his tough stance not only against Villarruel, but also against other people in the party, such as the deputy Lourdes Arrietawho left the parliamentary bloc after the controversy over the controversial visit to repressors in the Ezeiza prison: “I constantly travel in rental cars and the drivers themselves, who 99% voted for us and support us, tell me ‘hey, what a mess with that crazy duckling [por Arrieta]’, ‘why are you hitting Villarruel, they are fighting’, and I explain to them: we are a transparent government. They voted for us to do something different. Do you really want us to pretend that everything is fine, to put on a face like nothing happened, smile, take photos together and in four years you lift the carpet and it’s full of dirt?”.
The spotlight was put this week on Santiago Caputo after that Manuel Garcia-Mansillaone of the Executive Branch’s candidates to join the Supreme Court of Justice, assured that the position was offered to him by the presidential advisor. The president of the National Committee of the Radical Civic Union (UCR), Martin Lousteauquestioned this decision in the Senate’s Agreements Committee, where the professor defended his candidacy. “The position was not offered to him by the President, but by a self-employed person who has no direct connection with the Government and is not a public servant,” he claimed.
However, for the national deputy this is not a problem because, according to her, Caputo “does not make decisions for the Government.”He is a strategic advisor, he does not make government decisions.. Maybe I can recommend people [por García-Mansilla]but those decisions are not made by Santiago Caputo. He can intervene and advise, but he does not have that power. The Chief of Staff is Guillermo Francos“, he explained.
“I think the issue of the power he supposedly has is exaggerated, because he doesn’t have it. It’s the “iron triangle” with Karina and Javier [Milei] because they trust him and because he has shown that he is very skilled at what he does. But the President himself said that he will do it as long as he does his job well. It is not that he is screwed and If he makes a huge mistake, they won’t fire him. They will fire anyone who does not have an elected position“, he added.
Lemoine also recalled the years when he was making cosplaya practice where people make their own costumes and makeup to play fictional characters: “I don’t have time. And I tell you this with a lot of pain in my soul because I love it. I am an artist and I have made crafts and handicrafts all my life. There is an event animated in a few weeks and I dream of going. It opens Beetlejuice And a friend of mine came and asked me for a wedding dress that we found in Parque Centenario, all torn up. I was excited to say, can I go? Because I’m not having any kind of leisure time that one would normally have. But the media is also part of the job, because I believe that you have to go and face the people.”
