In Argentina we have seen, in the last electoral campaign, a chainsaw as a banner, which means cutting down the State of everything that President Javier Milei finds counterproductive, supported by his closest collaborators.
We also saw the elected president who, in his first visit abroad, recently arrived at the Casa Rosada, undertook a trip to Israel, to offer all kinds of recognition to the Zionist government of Benjamin Netanyahu.
At the same time, he undertook to transfer the Argentine Embassy to Jerusalem, a fact that was more than anti-diplomatic, in violation of international agreements on the matter, and a humiliation for the Palestinian community massacred by the military forces of the Government of the Hebrew nation.
The examples can be counted by dozens, and the last of them was staged last Wednesday, when Milei offered "a barbecue" at the official residence of the Quinta de los Olivos, for the 87 deputies who accompanied him in his veto of a law that sought to increase the pension to retirees.
Previously, the President had vetoed the so-called "Mobility Law", which established 8.1 points of increase to pensions, and that "the minimum amount should not be below the basic individual food basket", according to RT reports.
In the Lower House, 153 affirmative votes were cast, 87 negative votes and eight abstentions -nine deputies were absent-, so it did not achieve the two thirds necessary to insist on the bill, and, in this way, the presidential decision to annul the proposal was firm.
Once the vote in the Chamber of Deputies was over, the Gendarmerie, the Federal Police and the Argentine Naval Prefecture attacked the retirees and other demonstrators who were protesting in front of the Chamber of Deputies. This is the third consecutive week of repression outside the Congress.
Such events did not overshadow the Argentine President's preparations to organize the visit and the Jubilee barbecue with the deputies, whom Milei called "heroes", since they accompanied him in the veto of the pension reform.
While this was happening in Buenos Aires, in the Argentine province of Jujuy, the police repressed a group of construction workers who were protesting against the layoffs to which they were subjected.
According to press reports, the uniformed officers used rubber bullets and blows to break up a demonstration on Route 34, in the town of Ledesma.
However, the delight of the barbecue in Los Olivos did not suffer any variation, because repressions such as those mentioned above are unfortunately becoming common in the South American nation.
