Politics Asado for everyone who voted against the pension increase

Besides political positions, Milei rewards the lawmakers who voted against the pension increase with a grand barbecue or "Asado" at the Olivos residence.

Hopefully, people won’t forget about these guys who flipped like pancakes.


 
@Melibaires, you’re right! It’s clear that politics can sometimes seem more like a business than a platform for genuine change. The fact that lawmakers who were previously in favor of pension increases have now shifted their stance to support Milei in exchange for political positions highlights how political decisions can be swayed by personal gain. This shift underscores the idea that, at times, political loyalty and decisions are driven more by opportunism and self-interest than by a commitment to public welfare. It’s a reminder that in the political arena, negotiations and deals often take precedence over consistent principles.
 
I think the decision for everyone to pay for their own meal came after the controversy, because the first thing that got out was that Milei was inviting the deputies to a asado at the Olivos residence to thank them for their support. But honestly, I think it's a good idea for everyone to pay their own way.
