“We regret the acts of violence, this issue must be investigated. People have the right to demonstrate, what they do not have the right to do is provoke violent acts.

Although the head of the Kirchnerist bloc, Germán Martínez , also requested a fourth intermission due to the incidents, the motion was rejected by the majority of those present in the room.
Consequently, several of the opposition legislators got up from their seats and left. “They are the dictatorship, they are repressing,” shouted Christian Castillo , from the Left Front, before getting up from his place.
All those who left headed to the square in front of Parliament, where protesters clashed with police forces. “We went down to verify the information, what is reaching our phones, and I am going to talk to the block again because they are repressing the people who are peacefully demonstrating in rejection of the law that the Republic wants to implement,” said the UxP deputy, Victoria Tolosa Paz .

Security forces attempted to enforce anti-picketing protocol
For this reason, he asked that the Chamber investigate who gave the order for the anti-picketing protocol to be applied with that force. Germán Martínez, for his part, added that cases were also recorded in the interior of the country.
