"They want Javier Milei to do badly": Lilia Lemoine attacked the opposition and defended the president in the LIBRA case.

Lilia Lemoine , a deputy from La Libertad Avanza, lashed out at the opposition for the briefing on the LIBRA case in the Chamber of Deputies and accused Kirchnerism and the left-wing blocs of "lying to the people because they want President Javier Milei to do badly ."

Ministers Luis Caputo , of Economy, and Mariano Cúneo Libarona , of Justice; the head of the National Securities Commission, Roberto Silva ; and the Chief of Staff, Guillermo Francos , were summoned to the session scheduled for Tuesday, April 29. However, Francos was the only one who showed up to explain the involvement of members of the Executive Branch in the LIBRA scam.

"What I hope is that what has been happening from the beginning will continue : lies, insinuations, and the repetition of Kirchnerism and the left lying about what really happened," Lemoine insisted to reporters. The libertarian legislator asserted that the opposition "doesn't want to listen to the government's arguments and will insist on their claims." " The same thing happened when Francos came to give his management report; there was abuse, shouting, and lies, as always. I suppose today's interpellation won't be any gentler ," she maintained.

The congresswoman close to the president stated: "The opposition wants to smear this at any cost and will try to turn this into something it isn't . They want Javier Milei to do poorly and will find any excuse for it." In this regard, Lemoine called the opposition figures' attitude "shameful."

Francos's questioning was the first the Chamber of Deputies has conducted with the Executive Branch in the last 30 years. During the session, the Chief of Staff attempted to distance the president and downplay his institutional role in the $LIBRA case, the fraudulent cryptocurrency he promoted on social media and generated profits of more than $4.5 billion for its creators in just a few hours, but which later collapsed.
