"What happened in the Budget Committee is intolerable, they did not allow us to express ourselves around the proposal of Espert as president. They voted without registering the votes, they made a disaster (...) That the chief of staff Posse send to Congress the mega DNU, he is about to expire the deadlines, would be the first chief of staff, since democracy was constituted, that it would fail to send an emergency decree to the Chamber of Deputies."
