The scandal starred by José Luis Espert for the narco financing of his 2019 campaign Calad Hondo in the Government. Now that it is known that the head of the libertarian ballot in the province received 200 thousand dollars of “Fred” Machado, and that he also used the plane of the suspicious businessman, everything is done uphill. Since that revelation exploded, hours ago, the candidate almost did not see it again in public except for an unclear denial in the TN channel in which he spoke of “Kirchner operation.” But, except for that contribution to the general confusion and some other minimum intervention, it became a missing action, to the point that the yellow Diego Santilli is positioning himself as a new face of official proselytism.
The truth is that Javier Milei and his people do not know what to do with the ghost candidate. They come and go. First it seemed, for a moment, that the decision was that Milei hugged Espert in the act of Saturday 4, as he did with his sister Karina after the coimagate broke out. Then, for the doubts, they retreated with the idea. And the act in principle would have passed to Tuesday 7, but noless. There are those who even speak of a possible renunciation of the candidacy to prevent the damage from being even greater for the October 26 elections, although for that – with the printed tickets – it seems late. All are conjectures.
Espert always generated residents in the Mileista troop. Sister Karina insisted Javier until the end so she wasn’t the first candidate. Deputy Lilia Lemoine, intimate of the president, already talked about the drug traffickers who allegedly intervened in her campaigns. Santiago Caputo’s right hand, Agustín Romo, in his networks tried “cashier” to the Calvo Economist. And even Milei himself told him frightening of him when they were distanced by political issues. He revealed, for example, that once Espert took a suitcase with $ 300 thousand to get off his postulation in CABA in 2021, a offer he rejected. Alejandro Fantino witnessed the anecdote in an interview he did to the libertarian, who was only missing to mention the defendant with a name and surname. The Espert, consulted by the story, affirms that it was not that figure that offered Milei, but a much smaller, and that it was part of the “monthly payment” that he had to pay him since he began military in politics with him. Who to believe?
Weeks ago, when he started the race towards the elections and simultaneously exploded the coimas scandal of 3 percent of the Andis, a sorry for a blunt phrase: “I screwed up the campaign,” they say close to him who complained.
Now, the one who is in the sight is him. And they no longer know how to hide it.
