On a day that could have been a celebration for her birthday, libertarian representative Lilia Lemoine (@lilialemoine) chose to resort to her usual irony on networks. While Javier Milei and part of the La Libertad Avanza delegation landed in New York for a high-profile agenda with businessmen and US authorities, the legislator hinted at some annoyance at being left out of the trip.
“Cristina cursed ‘if I don’t travel, no woman will travel’. And that’s how I won’t be able to get to know New York (?),” she published in Statue of Liberty shrouded in smoke and destruction, with notes about an “attacked monument” and a dark future projected around 1976.
The post had a rapid impact: it exceeded 1,600 views and accumulated dozens of interactions. Lemoine finished with another wink: “A separate topic: we have the best footballer, the best President and it seems that the most accurate Prophet of the modern era…”. Among the comments were mixed congratulations on her birthday, jokes linked to her “alter ego” and questions about how to be “so pretty and intelligent.”
Although the phrase about Cristina Kirchner was posed in a humorous tone, the message revealed frustration at not being part of the delegation. Even so, far from distancing himself from the ruling party, Lemoine reaffirmed his loyalty to the libertarian project: he did not criticize the Government’s decision or Milei, but instead channeled the discomfort with irony and winks to his online community.
