May 13 (UPI) -- A group of opposition lawmakers in Argentina filed an expansion of an impeachment request against President Javier Milei, warning of a "concrete and verifiable risk" that the country could become militarily involved in a potential U.S.-driven action against Cuba.
Under Argentina's legislative system, an expansion of an impeachment request involves adding new facts, arguments or evidence to existing complaints against a public official, in this case the president, for evaluation by Congress' Impeachment Committee.
The filing was submitted Monday by lawmakers from Unión por la Patria led by Congressman Juan Marino, although the news and details of its contents were publicly disclosed by the lawmakers Tuesday.
They expand on complaints already included in the impeachment proceedings facing the president in Argentina's lower house of Congress.
