Libra scandal: The opposition could unblock the investigative commission and move forward with the case involving Javier Milei.

The opposition took an important step in the Chamber of Deputies in its mission to unblock the investigative commission into the $Libra cryptocurrency scandal and will be able to move forward with the case involving President Javier Milei , who was accused of promoting the memecoin that, after reaching high peaks, collapsed, causing significant losses.

In the midst of a marathon session in which the university funding and emergency declaration bills for Garrahan were approved, the opposition moved forward with a request for a subpoena to discuss a bill sponsored by Maximiliano Ferraro, aimed at unblocking the appointment of authorities for the investigative commission.

The proposed location was approved with 135 votes in favor, 70 against, and 6 abstentions, thanks to the support of the Union for the Homeland, Federal Encounter, Democracy Forever, the left, and sectors of the radical movement.

According to what was approved by the House, a plenary session of the Constitutional Affairs committee, chaired by Libertarian Nicolás Mayoraz, and the Petitions, Powers, and Regulations committee, chaired by Silvia Lospennato of the PRO party, will be convened on Tuesday at 5:00 p.m. to discuss the proposal to modify the regulation that created the Libra investigative commission.

The truth is that after the 90-day deadline set by the bill to create the Libra commission to investigate the crypto scandal expired, the opposition deputies who comprise it denounced a "systematic blockade" by the ruling party.

The controversy arose after the creation of the commission was approved in April of this year. The proposal established a proportional system based on the composition of the blocs, allowing for inter-bloc recognition to give more seats to the ruling party.

Thus, the commission was tied between the 14 ruling party members and allies of the PRO, the UCR, the libertarian radicals, and Innovación Federal, and 14 opposition members from the Union for the Homeland, Encuentro Federal, Democracia para Siempre, the Civic Coalition, and the left.

Having been tied, Ferraro introduced a bill amending the resolution that created the Commission to resolve the tie, granting the presidency to the blocs with the largest number of representatives in the chamber.

The opposition had made several failed attempts, but only achieved its goal this Wednesday. This way, if the opposition manages to appoint the authorities, it will be able to set a new investigation deadline and issue a ruling to be taken to the House, where it can be approved by a simple majority.

During the debate, Mayoraz sought to halt the opposition's offensive. " They already made a circus and got nothing clear , so now they want to fabricate this story that the commission didn't work; the commission listened to everyone you wanted to get to speak and got nothing clear," the libertarian insisted.

Strictly speaking, there was an informational meeting chaired by Parliamentary Secretary Adrián Pagán, who answers to Menem, in an attempt to move forward with the commission.

For her part, Silvana Giudici (PRO) protested that this is the first time that "they've tried to modify a resolution that stated a three-month deadline, a deadline that expired on July 30th, and now we're within the deadline for submitting the report." "I don't understand why the report isn't being submitted," she added.
