“Petiso you have to help me, I have to sell the motorcycle”, so the anecdote that Diego Giacomomini He reported on Javier Milei And because the libertarian leader wanted to get rid of the vehicle. In a report in the cycle of Tomás Rebord By Blender, viralized by Internet users “El Praseró”, the economist recalled the friendship that the two experts in economics lived.
In the narrative, Giacomi said that Javier Milei told him that “he spoke with God.” “The motorcycle is a temptation that makes the evil one to kill me and fail in the mission of God to save Argentina from socialism and bring it to redemptive liberalism,” Giacomi said about the sayings of who was going to be the future president and continued: “Consider someone who bought my motorcycle.”
For several years, Javier Milei and Diego Giacomi shared not only a liberal economic vision, but also a joint route in the academic, media and editorial world. The relationship between the two began in the professional field: Giacomomini, an economist trained at the University of Buenos Aires, and Milei, already known for his explosive and media style, agreed in spaces for debate and conferences where they defended common positions against state intervention and public spending.
The link was consolidated with the writing of “counterreloj economic policy” (2014), where they both presented a shock reform program for the Argentine economy. They also shared the co -authorship of “A real solution for Argentina” (2016), in which they proposed a drastic cut of the State, commercial opening and dollarization. His presentations at universities and television channels showed a coordinated pair: Milei contributed the rhetoric and Giacomi the most technical tone.
Society began to break around 2018. Differences were not only academic, but also personal and political. Giacomini questioned what he described as an “endiosation” of the character Milei, who began to gain notoriety in the media with an increasingly personalist style. According to Giacomomini himself, Milei had gone from being a critical economist of power to become someone with political aspirations who, in his opinion, contradicted themselves with the initial liberal preaching.
The fight was made public when Giacomomini accused him of “betraying principles” and surrounding himself with people interested more in the show than in economic rigor. Milei, on the other hand, responded hard and described his intellectual ex -partner as a “resentful” who did not accept his growth in the public scene. The rupture was definitive and since then both followed separate paths.
