Javier Milei is stuck. He did not lower José Luis Espert when it was still possible, he supported his candidacy until it was unsustainable and now, with the economist out, he continues supporting him as if nothing had happened. At the Movistar Arena show he honored him: “Espeeert, Espeeert!” That same day, Milei retweeted @GordoLibertario proposing him as Minister of Security. The idea was crazy, but Milei bought it.
The libertarian environment had already decided that Espert had to get off. Milei resisted alone. His and Espert’s lawyer, Francisco Oneto, also defends the drug trafficker “Fred” Machado. A detail. On Sunday, Caputo proposed to do it live with Majul. Milei didn’t want to. He preferred that Espert resign “for the good of the country.” And so it was.
It is not the first time they have crossed paths. There was already a fight for money. Milei said that Espert wanted to buy it with 300 thousand dollars. The other argues that it was less, and that it was a “monthly payment.”
