From Tres de Febrero, Bullrich was blunt: "The Vice President had to take the lead and say: 'I'm not going to be part of a session that isn't correct, isn't legal, isn't legitimate.' She should stand with the people, not with the Kirchnerist senators who wanted to see the President boarding a helicopter."
She also questioned the economic impact of what was approved in the Senate: "If we print bills, all the money that comes in through one pocket goes out through the other. Enough of repeating what was done for years and turned out badly."
"Don't be an accomplice to destructive Kirchnerism"
Bullrich destrozó a la traidora Villarruel: 'No sea cómplice del kirchnerismo'
Bullrich also used her X (formerly Twitter) account to reinforce her message: "Stand up, Madam Vice President. Don't denigrate the institution you preside over. Don't be an accomplice to destructive Kirchnerism. At least stay on the side of the people who voted for you to change this country."
The message made it clear that Villarruel was singled out for having turned her back on the Government and endorsed laws contrary to its program. What was approved in the chamber includes increases in pensions, pension moratoriums, and the declaration of a disability emergency, all measures rejected by the administration due to their fiscal impact.
Villarruel's response

Villarruel replied with a statement and also from her social media. She stated that "she fulfilled her role": "The Senate is the house of the provinces. I preside over the sessions whether I like them or not. I was elected to uphold institutionalism, not to walk away when things get tough."
Milei also targeted Villarruel
During his speech at the Stock Exchange, Javier Milei reinforced the official message and made it clear that he considers Villarruel to have betrayed the Government: "With only seven senators and a traitor we managed to carry out 25 times more structural reforms than any other government."
Without naming her, the President made it clear that he considers the Vice President responsible for having facilitated the advance of Kirchnerism in the Senate.
With these statements, Bullrich clearly positioned Villarruel and exposed her decision not to support the Government in a key vote. Meanwhile, the Casa Rosada is preparing to veto what was approved.
