A little over a week ago, the conviction was consolidated that Argentina, a cultural revolution through, was transforming into a serious country that would soon recover from the damage done by corrupt demagogues that had dominated him for so long. Although Argentina that emerged from the 2023 elections would continue to have its oddities, including a horn president of scrambled hair that is believed to be backed by a host of heavenly militants, it caught more attention the uncompromising defense of the fiscal realism of the government that formed. He also impressed his willingness to do as his judgment would be necessary to ensure that he did not return a past full of frustrations in which the “rich country” of national mythology had arranged them to depoupe so much that it seemed to be on the way of extinction. Even more shocking has been the one that, after a year of severe adjustments, half of the population has continued to support it for understanding that any alternative raised by an opposition faction would be worse.
Well, for alarm of those who already celebrated the delayed Argentine Renaissance, from one day to another the danger of a relapse intensified to such an extent that the actions of local companies collapsed in international markets. If it had occurred at another time, the fluctuations would not have motivated concern, since the world economy as a whole is traveling through a strikingly volatile stage, but it happens that, in common agreement, they were triggered by a presidential tweet.
Napoleon said that “from the sublime to the ridiculous there is only one step”. To bewildered by his fans, Javier Milei has just given a very big one. When recklessly intervening in the feverish world of cryptocurrencies, a chaotic niche in immense fortunes can change hands in a matter of seconds, the president put at risk the most valuable part of his political capital. As it could not be otherwise, those who want Argentina to return to the status quo that preceded the irruption of the rabid libertarian, did not hesitate to take advantage of it.
The power that Milei has accumulated here and the world fame that has been won The rich countries. Even when the episode that starred a week ago does not tell us much about his professional solvency, he will have served to remind us that Milei is an extremely impulsive narcissistic that he imagines infallible that at any time he could make more carafales mistakes.
Without internalizing “of the details of the project”, as confessed, Milei chose to promote a cryptocurren His initiatives rose as a rocket to then rush at an even greater speed, which cost investors – better, players – the FRIOLERA DE, according to some experts in this esoteric businessapproximately four billion dollars.
For the skeletal Argentine economy, it is a colossal amount. It does not miss, then, that the losers want to appear as victims of a fraud of historical dimensions. Although everyone will have been aware of the risks that were running, resorting to courts in an effort to compensate is part of the game. Equally resolved to suggest that Milei knew very well what he was doing, they are his many enemies that, of course, did not hesitate a minute in asking for a full investigation that, they expect, culminates in a political trial.
To counterattack, Milei has been forced to underline her own honestyD, what he can do because unlike so many others he has never interested him luxury, and compare it with the serial dishonesty of “La Chorra” Cristina Kirchner who, he says, has been “the greatest scammer in Argentine history.” Until now, Milei has been reluctant to play an active role in the fight against corruption, perhaps to consider it intrinsic to the corporate “model” that is proposed to dismantle, and for reasons that are still dark, he wanted a judge to be as extraordinarily controversial as Ariel Lijo who, according to his many critics, usually protects politicians accused of enriching themselves at the ribs of taxpayers, is appointed member of the Supreme Court of the Nation By force of circumstances, such flagrant ambiguities may no longer afford.
Unfortunately for Milei, legions of jurists in the United States will participate joyfully of the legal battles that are about to begin, which will guarantee that for years they intersect in the courts and in the social or journalistic media tremendous accusations, with frequent derogatory allusions to the corruption that It has always been routine in Argentina. That Milei is a favorite friend of Donald Trump will not benefit him; For many American judges, lawyers and officials who will be interested in the case, the president of his country is a born scammer. To top it off, in the United States justice usually moves as slowly as the Argentine version that is inspired by it, which means that, even though the management of Milei lasts eight years, it will not be given to leave behind a scandal that will continue mortifying it and negatively influencing the image of the country in the eyes of investors.
While the Kirchnerists and their companions on the left have Milei himself, Mauricio Macri and his followers prefer to blame the improvised And observing that they surround him, since, in addition to feeling fed up with the maneuvers against him of the “iron triangle” of Milei, his sister Karina and the advisor without signature Santiago Caputo, they are determined to defend the “model” that is forging The libertarian government and prevent a seizure from being unleashed that could facilitate the return of populist cleptocracy that has done so much damage to the country.
They can argue that Milei, obsessed with macroeconomic issues, trusts too much on advisors who have become accustomed to privilege their own personal priorities. What macristas want is to save a monarch from the consequences of their own behavior by separating it from courtiers that they suppose are able to deceive him. It is a maneuver that, over the centuries, has been tested many times by operators in hundreds of different countries.
In addition to pleasantly impressing many because of their iron adhesion to certain inconvenient economic truths that other leaders usually overlook, Milei has managed to take advantage of the bad image of “La Casta” And the plethora of civil groups that the set thus qualified has sponsored, but for reasons it is to assume personal, it is why all those who are encouraged to disagree with their forceful definitions are miserable subjects, unclean rats, mandrels, disgusting chipts. Although it is far from being the only one who speaks in such a way, since the Nazis, fascists, Peronists of the first generation, communists and other authoritarian of the extreme left have always done, often seems to forget that he is president of a democratic country , not of a tyranny in which only the word of who commands matters.
Bad that in spite influencing public opinion. In the short term, Manufacture unnecessary enemies can be a good business for an outsiderbut in the long run it is counterproductive. Since assuming power, Milei has specialized to provide other reasons to hate him. Among these are many who, in general terms, would be willing to approve what they are trying to do even if only because the feasible alternatives scare them.
Milei wants people to take it for a victim more than a crypto scam, but it will not be easy Turn it into a very useful collaborator. And even when you manage personally from a scandal that was caused by its own foolishness, it will not be easy to limit the damages it will cause. By the way, abroad the show is already raising doubts Regarding the coherence of the milleist economic scheme and the government’s ability to ensure that everything happens according to principles that in theory should prevail in all countries of the world.
As Milei will know very well, the international reputation of Argentina is very bad. By the way, it will not serve to tempt many investors that billions of dollars can vain in a few hours in a swampy financial zone that for many professional economists, including Milei, remains unknown land.
