Rough translation I attempted (I only had to look things up a couple of times!):

The deputy of La Libertad Avanza Lilia Lemoine has been nominated this Monday as the number one secretary of the Commission of Science, Technology, and Innovation of the Lower House. The decision came as a surprise to those who know of her, because the legislator adheres to the flat-Earth theory, has spread coronavirus conspiracies, and has raised in passing doubts about the legitimacy of the man on the Moon.

I guess it's on brand for Milei right? I remember there were reports of flat-earthers running for MP seats for the libertarian/nationalist party in Poland (they're at about 8-12% popularity) in the last elections, they're also crypto pushers, as one can expect

If you put this on a piece of fiction they'd call you cheesy, seriously

Liberal democracy principles sure do look strange when applied to science, I wonder why
