Pablo Carro attacked the PRO and called them"scumbags" and then defended Conicet.

The Union for the Homeland representative questioned his previous PRO counterparts and stated:"They're idiots. I looked it up in the dictionary to see if it wasn't too offensive, and it means 'a flattering person, generally for convenience.'"

He then addressed Alejandro Finocchiaro directly and taunted: "Open the education committee so we can discuss all those important projects you have. We'll discuss whatever you want. You want to discuss tuition, we'll discuss it."

Furthermore, he defended Conicet during his speech and questioned the government over the lack of funding."They have been pursuing a policy of discrediting science and university education until Conicet launched Argentina's most important streaming service, featuring its central star, the Estrella Culona, if you'll pardon the redundancy." "Conicet scientists who could have been conducting research for themselves, could have made the same observation of what's happening at the bottom of the Argentine sea and kept it for their next published paper, but no, they decided to make it available to all citizens," he added.
