The scandal we all poor Argentines witnessed last Wednesday in the lower house Chamber of Deputies, was absolutely appalling. Deputies screaming, yelling and insulting one another like crazy. Hooligans seem like British gentlemen compared to our so-called “representatives,” whose huge salaries come out of our taxes. Their behaviour is shameful, disgraceful, indecent, and I could go on endlessly. The chamber has almost become a boxing-ring, but these bullies don’t seem to realise or to care. This increasing political violence, these escalating tensions are spreading like a virus, much more dangerous than Covid. Can’t anyone restore some kind of order and a bit of tolerance and common sense? Those deputies are setting the worst possible example and we – the people – should let them know about it and punish their ignominious conduct.
