Javier Milei criticized the opposition over his clean record: "Now they're acting like Republican nerds."

In the run-up to the debate in the Senate, the president Javier Milei addressed the Clean Record project and harshly criticized those who criticize the ruling party for not having promoted it sooner. "They went seven years without approving it, and now they're acting like Republican nerds," he said in an interview with Neura Media.

The president noted that "the ruling bears my name" and denied that La Libertad Avanza had attempted to block the initiative. The law seeks to prevent people convicted of corruption, gender-based violence, or other serious crimes from running for public office.

The bill will be discussed this Wednesday in the Senate. According to the ruling party's figures, there are already at least 38 affirmative votes, the necessary number for its approval. Kirchnerism has already announced its rejection.

Milei insisted that " Argentina needs clear rules and real punishments for the corrupt ." She maintained that if the law is passed, it will change the way politics is conducted in the country. She also highlighted the support from various sectors for the initiative, which had been stalled in Congress for years.

The President praised Representative Silvia Lospennato of the PRO party, a longtime proponent of the project. He avoided confirming an electoral agreement, but noted common ground: "Bullrich's affiliation formalizes something that was already a fact. Many PRO leaders understand that this is the right path."

The Casa Rosada (Presidential Palace) emphasizes that the initiative responds to a sustained social demand. They believe that citizens are tired of seeing convicted individuals compete in elections, and that this erodes trust in institutions.

For the ruling party, the Clean Sheet is a concrete tool against impunity. Milei emphasized that it is not a symbolic gesture, but rather a regulation that will set real limits. "It's not just rhetoric, it's a profound change," she maintained.

Javier Milei 's government will seek to capitalize on the law's approval as a personal achievement. Meanwhile, the President maintains his strategy of confrontation with those who, he claims, did nothing when they had the opportunity.

In this context, he once again defended the need to move forward with an agenda of structural reforms. "This is just one step. There's much more to do," he said. The Clean Sheet thus appears as one of the pillars of the message of order and transparency that Milei seeks to consolidate.
