Luis Juez, the senator who filled the State with relatives and wants to destroy Milei

In a reprehensible action that caused strong criticism on social media, Senator Luis Juez voted against President Javier Milei's veto of the Disability Emergency Law, a coup-mongering initiative that, far from trying to help society, only seeks to break the State, destroy the national government, generate a new economic crisis, and send millions of Argentinians into poverty.

The senator's decision took place in the context of an unprecedented reversal of a presidential veto, an event that had not occurred in the Argentine Congress for more than two decades. The position adopted by Juez adds to other actions taken in the past against Milei's government and in favor of Kirchnerist projects, as was the case with the expropriation of YPF, which he supported.

Other more recent cases were, for example, the closure of the National Highway Administration, an icon of Kirchnerist corruption, where, together with the opposition, he voted against it. The same happened with the deficit-ridden University Financing laws, or the Pediatric Emergency law, which, knowing that they seek to break the State and destroy the government, he supported anyway.

After society's anger, strong criticism began to be directed at the senator for his waste of public resources in the State. According to information published by various media outlets, Juez has at least 10 relatives working in public positions at different levels.

Among them are his son Martín, councilor for the City of Córdoba; his daughter María Agustina, assistant clerk of the Council of the Judiciary; and his twin brother Daniel, provincial legislator. In addition, other close relatives, such as brothers-in-law and nephews, appear in state agencies, including the Ministry of Health of Córdoba, ARCA, the provincial Ministry of Education, the National Senate, and the Court of Accounts of Córdoba.

The presence of these relatives in public administration caused anger for being nepotistic practices, especially in a context in which, moreover, Juez manages a staff of 22 advisors in the Senate, distributed with resources equivalent to more than 15 million pesos (over 33,069 pounds) per month.

Each senator has 7,338 modules to hire staff, and Juez's decision to maintain a high number of employees with salaries that vary according to category represents a reprehensible use of the budget allocated to the legislative function, worthy of a senator from the political caste.

The scandal also extended to personal matters, after information went viral that the senator had a daughter with a woman who was not his wife and did not take responsibility for the situation until the courts intervened. Added to this is the controversy over the use of the minor, who has a disability, in political publications aimed at destroying Milei's government's economic plan, a fact that caused strong outrage in society.
