  • Senator Bullrich confirmed she presented her resignation to President Milei.
  • She stated she offered her resignation because she held an opinion contrary to the president's.
  • Bullrich's resignation follows her announcement that she would not support the removal of a judicial candidate due to family ties with a journalist.

Senator Bullrich has confirmed that she submitted her resignation to President Javier Milei, explaining that she felt compelled to do so after expressing an opinion that diverged from the president's stance. She described the act as one a "person of good" would take when holding a contrary view to the head of state.

This decision comes shortly after Bullrich's surprising announcement that she would not support the withdrawal of a candidate for a judicial position. The candidate's potential disqualification stemmed from a familial connection to a journalist, a link that sparked controversy and led to Bullrich's opposition to the candidate's removal from consideration.

Bullrich's move introduces a notable tension within the political landscape, highlighting potential disagreements even among allies. Her resignation signals a significant development in her relationship with the president and raises questions about the future dynamics of their political alignment.

when you have an opinion contrary to the president, as a person of good, you put your resignation at his disposal.
