Javier Milei, whose group had already been the subject of complaints about asking for sexual favors, threatened to take legal action against those who denounced him.
Bad news for Javier Milei, the leader of the Argentine extreme right. The provincial elections seem to deny his rise in the polls. An unauthorized biography, Crazypresents him as a lunatic who claims having seen the resurrection of Christ three times. And, furthermore, a scandal that has reached the courts. Federal prosecutor Ramiro González authorized the opening of a case against him for the alleged sale of applications to those who want to be part of their party, freedom advances. González has cited former leaders of that space and people to whom he offered a place on the ballots for the October elections in exchange for Thousands of dollars. The Argentine emulus of vox assures that the right-wing coalition, Together for Change, is behind that smear maneuver. “Traditional politicians divert tax money to the campaign. To fill a position you have to have funding. We have no other resources“.
Milei, whose formation had already been the subject of allegations of asking for sexual favors, threatened legal action against those who reported it. “They have no proof“. For the prosecution it is a case of “institutional gravity” because it flagrantly violates the electoral law.
The neoliberal economist Carlos Maslatón, Milei’s former right-hand man, however, assured that the issue of selling candidates for public office is not new. He recalled that this has been one of the reasons why a group of intermediate leaders left La Libertad Avanza. “You thought you had impunity and that this was not going to be known,” said Maslatón on social networks.
Milei has become a political phenomenon in the past two years. She went from television talk shows to the political arena with the support of powerful businessmen. Her anger and rejection of the political system made her gain followers among impoverished and disenchanted youth with the Peronist governmentmore attracted by their cries than their proposals, among them the free possession of weapons and the authorization of the sale of organs.
stir for a book
In this context, it has been published Crazy. Juan González’s book has become a feast for the traditional political leadership. It is told in its pages that Milei is assisted by a seer; he had a dog, Conan, which he has cloned in the United States after his death; and that he not only calls his other dogs “sons” but also forms a cabinet with them “with whom he analyzes the political situation.”
According to the book, the economist had hired a “interspecies communicator”Celia Melamed, to reconnect with “Conan”, the mascot who died in 2017. In turn, the presidential candidate says he converses telepathically with Murray Rothbard, an American economist who died in 1995 and is considered a popularizer of the anarchism of private and free property. “It is impossible to separate the mystical and esoteric side of Milei from the political“, maintains the author of the biography.
Pollsters detect a decline in the ultra leader in the polls. But they estimate that in the October contest, already sliding to the right in programmatic terms, those votes will go to Patricia Bullrich, the pre-candidate of Together for Change from positions closest to Milei.
