In a controversial move during a session regarding labor reform, Florencia Carignano of Unión por la Patria disconnected the microphones from the shorthand reporters to halt the debate from commencing in Argentina's lower house. This act prompted a fierce backlash from the ruling bloc which has called for her expulsion from the Chamber of Deputies. Carignano, in her defense, expressed in radio statements that she would repeat her actions to prevent the law from being discussed, labeling it as "a piece of trash."

The event transpired just before the treatment of the labor reform initiated by La Libertad Avanza, which Carignano accused of attempting to push through detrimental legislation. Her remarks pointed to the deep divisions and tensions within the Argentine legislature, particularly highlighting animosity towards the ruling party. She further referred to some members as "mindless" reflecting the growing discord over the contentious labor reform agenda.

The implications of her actions and statements resonate beyond this single incident, as they symbolize the escalating polarization within Argentine politics. The move to disconnect microphones not only raises questions about procedural integrity in legislative sessions but also emphasizes the contentious atmosphere surrounding labor policies, with fate hanging in the balance as competing narratives play out in Congress.
