As well as Javier Milei burst into politics and displaced the traditional leaders, its female deputies also stand out in the parliamentary ecosystem. This particularity not only happens in his interventions in Congress, but also in his posts on Instagram during this summer of 2025.
Traditional women in Argentine politics avoided showing themselves in tights during the summer, much less advertising self-produced images. Generally, these images were obtained by the media that sent photographers to cover the summer seasons to the main tourist centers chosen by politicians such as Pinamar, Mar del Plata or Punta del Este.
But smartphones with high-quality cameras and social networks changed the behavior of politicians, and those who dared to take self-portraits in sexy positions, as if they were posing for a entertainment magazine, were the libertarian leaders. Lilia Lemoine, Juliana Santillán, Leila Gianni and even the substitute deputy Lourdes “Lu” Palavecinowho posted bikini photos on their Instagram accounts and received all kinds of comments. Not just politicians.
The contrast is notable, even if we compare them with other women in politics such as Malena Galmarini or Victoria Tolosa Pazwhich have been captured on camera in the summer of Pinamar. Tolosa Paz is always drinking mate on a lounge chair with her husband “Pepe” Albistur and Galmarini never agreed to be photographed in a bikini. An anecdote illustrates this example very well: during the summer season of 2015, when Sergio Massa was leading the polls for the presidential elections of that year, his wife was seen in a bikini on the beach by the deceased photographer of this magazine Eduardo Lerke. When she noticed the presence of the reporter prowling the coast in front of the CR parador, in the northern area of Pinamar, she ran to her tent to put on a sarong until the photographer left.
The self-exposition of libertarians, like magazine divas promoting a tourist place, a clothing brand or a fashion product, is a novelty that adds to the many new practices that it incorporated Freedom Advances to local politics.
Tour. Lilia Lemoine traveled to Córdobawhere he visited Villa Allende, La Granja, Ascochinga, Río Tercero, El Cóndor, Mina Clavero and San Clemente. He also walked through Los Cajones del Durazno in Villa Yacanto, plucked a daisy in Río Cuarto and rescued a hummingbird in Agua de Oro, which he gave to drink water by inserting the bird’s beak into its mouth.
During her time in Villa Allende, Lemoine took the opportunity to take advantage of the fight between her and Victoria Villarruel and joined a march against the mayor of the PRO of that town, Pablo Cornet, who was at the inauguration of the Jesus María festival. with the vice president. Lemoine went to the march against the mayor accompanied by fellow deputy María Celeste Ponce, who was born in that province and went to spend the holidays at her small farm, in Huinca Renancó.
The protest against the mayor friend of Villarruel It was because the city’s Deliberative Council was planning to discuss a project sent by the municipal Executive Branch to create a wall and gates in a neighborhood of the city due to constant episodes of insecurity. Added to the unusual measure was a curfew from 22 to 6. The idea had been taken from an episode of the series “Years and Years” that resolved a similar problem in the same way.
The deputy Juliana Santillán traveled to Barilochewhere she visited Cerro Campanario and published it on her networks, where she was harassed for having written Cerro with “S”. This is another notable difference with the female politicians of before: they knew how to write.
Santillán, after Bariloche, went to Mar del Plata, where he posed with a surfboard on the cliffs of the coastal city.
Lourdes “Lu” Palavecino is a substitute representative who had her greatest peak of popularity when Lilia Lemoine, with whom she is a very good friend, tried to get her to enter the Lower House to replace Marcela Pagano due to her fight with Martín Menem and Karina Milei. Palavecino is perhaps the one with the most experience in photography because, in addition to being an LLA activist, she is a model.

The project lost parliamentary status. Meanwhile, chihuahua Jorge’s Instagram account, at the time of going to press, already had four photos published in ten days. Much more productive on vacation, the representative.
