Of everything you imagined Freedom Advances For the October 22 elections, very little actually happened. And in less than a week, Javier Mileiwent from believing he was the winner in the first round to praying for a runoff that would make him compete head-to-head with any of the other candidates.
In the last days of the campaign, a series of false steps by the members of his party caused León to drop in the polls and cast doubt on that libertarian wave that weeks ago seemed unstoppable.
And the lack of control of its media figures had a lot to do with this electoral collapse, among them, Lilia Lemoinethe former cosplay and current libertarian deputy, who was the one who ran the most from a script that Milei himself had prepared with the utmost care and that within the force was recognized as “a mistake” in the last stage of the campaign .
Lemoine was not enough with his incorrect proposal of the possible renunciation of paternity of those men who do not want to recognize their children, but yesterday and in full civic rights, he broke the protocol and created a real scandal by leaving the dark room with his party’s ballot out of the envelope. In this context, the Electoral Code is very clear and explains that “no voter may arrive at the table displaying the ballot in any way, nor making any statement that violates the secrecy of the vote.” Therefore Lemoine’s vote should have been challenged.
but the same clumsiness What Lemoine shows in the media exposed her in person and it took different table authorities to calm her down and explain what happened. And after signing an act that did not ensure that her vote was valid in the count, the libertarian put her envelope in the ballot box.
The fire was fueled after the national scrutiny when the internal Freedom Advances It went from euphoria to a feeling of defeat when it came in second place, almost 7 points behind Unión Por La Patria. And late in the morning of this Monday, October 23, on social networks, the first lines of Milei began to fight among themselves.
The first to attack Lemoine was community manager of Javier Milei who accused her of hindering the rise of the libertarian: “The only thing Lilia Lemoine’s statement did was damage,” she wrote Iñaki Gutiérrez in her X account. To which the targeted person responded instantly: “Take the drugs away, ma’am.” And then he said what he had in store about the clear electoral decline of his party: “Of course, it wasn’t the alliance with Barrionuevo, nor cutting relations with the Vatican, or talking about selling children and organs. It’s my fault.”
The next few hours will be vital to show if these shots exchanged between members of La Libertad Avanza was a momentary overflow after weeks of tension, or if it is the reality of different personalities confined in an ideology that they do not feel their own nor do they proclaim.
