“Shut your mouth, you cat” and “I don’t have balls, but they inflated them”: the shouting match between a Kirchnerist deputy and her LLA counterpart

Representative Florencia Carignano of the Unión por la Patria party was the protagonist of one of the most heated moments of this Wednesday's debate in the Chamber of Deputies, where she targeted her colleague Gerardo Milman (PRO) by linking him to the attempted assassination of Cristina Kirchner in 2022, and then disqualified Libertarian Lilia Lemoine for interrupting her while she was giving her statement. "Shut up, crazy woman" and "Shut up, cat" were some of the terms the Kirchnerist leader used against one of Karina Milei's protégés.

After the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, tried to calm things down, Nadia Márquez, representative of LLA Neuquén, spoke up and harshly responded to Carignano: "Mr. President, we're fed up. I don't have the balls, but you've blown them up, that every time a woman from La Libertad Avanza speaks, that she's blonde, that she talks a lot, that she's a cat... stop messing around, man," she replied.

Then she continued shouting: "You were talking about feminism, discuss your ideas, stop attacking us . I'm not going to let you say that to Representative Lemoine or anyone else in the Chamber, because you, who are the ones who always said you defend women, are defenestrating them because you have no arguments. Use arguments, miss, instead of attacking us without foundation."

In the context of his exchange with the Libertarian deputies, Carignano also leveled strong accusations against Milman, implicating him in the case of the attempted assassination of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, which occurred on September 1, 2022.

"I'm glad he's stopped taking the drugs that kept him doped , like a lettuce and lying around for two years. Good: you were able to speak after two years. Reading, but you were able to speak. Honestly, it's a great step forward," said the congresswoman, referring to the "spontaneous statement" the PRO leader gave to the court at the end of May, in the case of the attempted assassination of the former vice president.

In that sense, he continued: "Second major step forward: we are within the framework of democracy, and you are evidently accepting it. You didn't order any of us to be killed, you didn't order us to pull the trigger. You're making a point of privilege. So I think the drugs you're taking are doing you good, and I'm truly glad that, within the framework of democracy, you haven't pulled the trigger on us like you tried to do with CFK."

"I still think you wanted to kill her. And I still think you have to prove in court what happened to your phone, what happened to the cats you had as secretaries, and all that gang you had around. You said: 'When they kill Cristina, I'll already be going to the coast,' and with the bill where you said: 'Without Cristina, there is no Peronism,'" he insisted.
