Deputies: The opposition is pushing for Luis Caputo and Mariano Cúneo Libarona to be questioned about LIBRA.

Opposition blocs in the Chamber of Deputies , including Union for the Homeland (UxP), Encuentro Federal, the Civic Coalition, the Left Front, and Democracy Forever, are pressing for the Ministers of Economy and Justice, Luis Caputo and Mariano Cúneo Libarona , to appear before Congress. This request comes amid the scandal linked to the $LIBRA cryptocurrency, for which Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos has already provided an explanation.

Last Friday, the legislators formalized their request to the Speaker of the House, Martín Menem , through a note that has not yet resulted in confirmation of the special session. Menem reported that he sent communications to the ministers summoning them for Wednesday, May 14 at noon, but so far has not received a response from officials.

The opposition believes Menem may be seeking to delay the discussion of the issue. Meanwhile, the deputies are evaluating alternatives to ensure the ministers' attendance. Among the proposals put forward are the possibility of accusing Luis Caputo and Mariano Cúneo Libarona of dereliction of duty as public officials and even initiating impeachment proceedings. Furthermore, they are working on a question-and-answer format similar to the one used with Chief of Staff Guillermo Francos, which included an opening statement and a question-and-answer session.

Some blocs of deputies close to the ruling party, such as the MID (Mexican Democratic Party) led by Oscar Zago, Eduardo Falcone, and María Cecilia Ibáñez, and the Radicals (Partido Radical Party) led by Rodrigo de Loredo, have kept a low profile on this issue, in part due to the attention they have devoted to celebrating recent electoral victories in provinces like Chaco and Jujuy.

The ruling party insists that the Libra case was sufficiently addressed during Guillermo Francos's interpellation on April 29, and questions the need to summon more officials. However, the opposition asserts that it will not support additional formal requests, arguing that such initiatives could lead to pressure and maneuvers from the Casa Rosada to prevent the formation of the necessary quorum.

With the Wednesday, May 14, deadline approaching, uncertainty persists over whether Caputo and Cúneo Libarona will appear in Congress to provide explanations, while the scandal continues to generate tensions in the political arena.
