In a recent article, Argentine newspaper Clarín claimed that Carlos Rovira, leader of the Frente Renovador de la Concordia, admitted President Javier Milei requested a change in the voting stance of Misiones senators regarding the ‘Ficha Limpia’ bill. The report, citing unnamed sources from a private meeting, lacks direct quotes or recorded statements, raising concerns about its journalistic integrity

The ‘Ficha Limpia’ bill, aimed at preventing individuals with corruption convictions from holding public office, failed in the Senate by a single vote. Following the vote, President Milei expressed his disappointment on social media, labeling the outcome as “LAMENTABLE. FIN,” and attributing the failure to opposition parties, including the PRO and Kirchnerism.

The administration has denied any agreement with Rovira, with presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni stating that the government did not negotiate with Misiones senators to influence their votes.

This incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the Milei administration and certain media outlets, emphasizing the need for accurate and responsible journalism in political reporting.
