During the discussion on the state budget, an unusual situation arose in the Chamber of Deputies. The protagonist was the Corrientes Lisandro AlmironReference from Freedom Advances (LLA)who in his speech defended the national government’s infrastructure management and referred to a construction annex that in reality belonged to the opposition.

Almirón began his intervention by emphasizing that the Milei government “listens” to the demands of the provinces. “I want to show everyone who talked about it currents “Some works have been stopped, but the most important ones are now included in the budget,” the lawmaker said before reading out an extensive list.
The list of controversies
The Libertarian MP listed strategic projects like that National highway 126 (Section Sauce-Curuzú Cuatiá), access to the highway in the city of Corrientes and improvements to routes 119, 12 and 120. He even celebrated the alleged inclusion in Article 27 of the second Chaco-Corrientes Bridgewhich ties it to Milei’s campaign promises.
In his defense of the official model, Almirón claimed that budget balance and country risk reduction were the factors that made it possible to “talk about the work completed,” referring to the Highway 12, which, although under construction, is progressing only moderately.

The mistake was discovered when the head of the Peronist bloc, German Martinezasked for a break to clarify the situation. Surprised, Martínez revealed that what Almirón had just read did not appear in the national executive’s project, but in the project Minority opinion presented by his own bank.

“It is not harassment, but what Almirón has read is our opinion. The works are included, at the request of the deputies of Chaco and Corrientes, in an attached list that we have presented,” shot Martínez. The leader of the opposition bench explained that these specific points for Corrientes had been promoted by the deputies Raul Hadad And Nancy Sands.
Ironically, after the failure of the Corrientes legislature, Martínez asked him to accompany the opposition’s opinion with his voice so that these works, which Almirón himself considered essential, could be integrated into the final text that would become law.
