Bruno Olivera Lucero, from San Juan, endorsed the proposal along with Kirchnerist and radical legislators
Although President Javier Milei rescued this Thursday that the senators of La Libertad Avanza did not vote to increase their allowances , which as of May will go from $1.7 million to more than $4 million , there was one of the representatives of the libertarian bloc who He had a fundamental participation in making that happen .
This is Bruno Olivera Lucero , who put his signature on the project that resulted in the legislators of the Upper House starting to earn more than double what they had been receiving each month, in a resolution very contrary to the official policy of austerity and anti-caste
Even more striking is that the man from San Juan was the only one among the nine signatories belonging to the force that governs the country . The other eight were Juan Carlos Romero from Salta (Cambio Federal), Pablo Daniel Blanco from Fuegian (UCR), Lucila Crexell from Neuquén (Neuquén Community), Daniel Kroneberger from Pampa (UCR), missionary Sonia Rojas Decut (Frente Renovador de La Social Concord), José Mayans from Formosa (Unión por la Patria), Carlos Espínola from Corrientes (Unión por la Patria) and Juliana di Tullio (Unión por la Patria).
Although Olivera Lucero ended up internally admitting her mistake and opposing its approval within the venue , her signature could no longer be erased.
The increase, finally, was approved without debate and with a show of hands with which its promoters managed to exceed the minimum of 48 that was required to reach two-thirds of the Senate.

The idea of a group of legislators began to take shape on Wednesday at the Parliamentary Labor meeting that was held to organize this Thursday's session. In it, from various blocks there were complaints and some statements that pointed against another increase, that of the salary of the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni.
“We want to earn the same as Adorni. They also raised him recently,” an experienced opposition senator told Infobae .
Last night, the text in question was known to the various forces. It establishes that the allowances will be made up of 2,500 modules - today, close to $1,700 -, plus an additional 1,000 modules for representation expenses, and 500 additional modules for uprooting. In fact, one more diet will be added to the original 12 to compensate for the bonus.
In the room, the one who took the lead was the dissident Peronist senator Juan Carlos Romero , who requested the incorporation of draft resolution 615/24 and asked to enable it on tables. Two thirds were needed. Villarruel put the definition by show of hands and, although some legislators did not do so, it was validated. Without debate, the initiative was formally voted on again and approved.
“ This is how caste moves . The only 7 who voted against are the senators from La Libertad Avanza. 2025 will be a historic beating,” was the dart that Javier Milei launched from the social network X later, pointing against the opposition.
The President had made two omissions . One amended it with a new post, in which he highlighted that some members of Together for Change voted against: “I want to clarify that there have been other senators who have also voted against within the JxC bloc. “Nobility obliges.”
The other, more painful and internal, was not mentioned, perhaps due to ignorance. It was that of the legislator who, among his own, allied with those of others to sign the project that led the senators to earn more than double their salary .
