Argentina: Congresswoman Arrieta leaves LLA bloc – ruling party feebler?

Congresswoman Lourdes Arrieta announced Tuesday that she was resigning from La Libertad Avanza's bloc to form her one-seat force in the Lower House. After being involved in a series of incidents regarding the visit of a group of lawmakers to incarcerated human rights violators during the 1976-1983 dictatorship, Arrieta claimed that "I cannot be part of a party where I am not respected."
