The Argentine Senate ratified Fernando Iglesias' appointment as ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union despite strong opposition and a significant number of votes against.
The Argentine Senate has approved the appointment of Fernando Iglesias, a former deputy from the PRO party, as the ambassador to Belgium, Luxembourg, and the European Union. This decision comes after Javier Milei appointed Iglesias 'in commission' in January, which required parliamentary approval to take effect. Notably, the vote for Iglesias was marked by a surprising level of dissent, reflecting the polarized political atmosphere, as he received 31 votes against from the Union for the Fatherland and several federal legislators, a figure notably higher than past ambassadorial approvals.
