Cryptocurrency scandal in Argentina, coup "explodes" in parliament:
Javier Milei

Violent clashes broke out in the Argentine parliament chamber during a session discussing the cryptocurrency scandal that has caused a huge stir in the country.

The dispute began after lawmakers began discussions regarding an investigation into the issue of the cryptocurrency $ LIBRA .

President Javier Milei promoted the virtual currency in a post on the X platform on February 14.

Its value rose rapidly, but then immediately collapsed, causing investors to suffer losses of almost $250 million.

Two lawmakers from opposing parties, Oscar Zago from the Movimiento de Integracion y Desarrollo and Lisandro Almiron from the LLA , began shouting and hitting each other.

Soon, other politicians were involved in the clash, and the speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Martin Menem, was forced to close the session early.

Opposition politicians in Argentina have called for the dismissal of Milei , who in his cryptocurrency post said that " the world wants to invest in Argentina ."

The president deleted his post a few hours later, saying he was "not aware of the details of the project ."
