The arrival of Peter Thiel, the Silicon Valley mogul, Barrio Parque was a surprise for everyone. The main theorist of the world right decided to move to Argentina and transformed his mansion into an epicenter of power and influence. He put his children through school and participated in chess tournaments, a sport of which he is a fan. In this week’s NEWS we are going to tell you about Peter Thiel, Milei’s techno-imperial godfather.
The President shares with the American businessman some mystical obsessions and a crusade against the State and woke policies. Known for his technopolitical and libertarian vision, Thiel questions traditional democracy and promotes a model where algorithms and private capital make strategic decisions.
Thiel is one of the richest men in the world, with a fortune estimated at 30 billion dollars. MHe joins the Artificial Intelligence of the Pentago and the CIA with his company Palantir and has strong ties with Donald Trump. In Argentina, he visited President Milei and held several meetings with star advisor Santiago Caputo. And he received a visitor into his house that no one expected: Juan Graboiswith whom he shares a predilection for the “Lord of the Rings” saga. His interest in Argentina sparks speculation about deals in energy, land and strategic resources, and about the possible use of Palantir in future elections. While some see him as a visionary investor, critics warn of the advance of a global influence that prioritizes technology and corporate power over the role of the state and civil liberties. lThiel’s presence promises to mark a new chapter in the relationship between politics, technology and power in the country.
We are also going to tell you one of the cases that has moved Argentina in recent days. The crime of Agostina Vega and the entire protection network that the only accused Claudio Barrelier received to operate with total impunity in Córdoba. What were the political contacts that gave him work and defense possibilities when he was in legal trouble and that now turn the province into a wildfire.
There was a time when mate was a frontier oddity, a custom that Europeans viewed with suspicion at customs. Today it is a global phenomenon, with record export figures, millionaire ambassadors and, as the last postcard of the promotion, a son of Donald Trump willing to sell it canned. The infusion that defines the River Plate identity stopped being folklore and became an international business, and has even been part of the Mercosur Cultural Heritage list since 2018. And famous people, like Lionel Messi or Franco Colapinto, became its main promoters.
Leonardo Scatturice wants to be the carrier of the National Team. The businessman who is a friend of Javier Milei’s government, based in Miami and owner of the companies Flybondi and OCA, already has his first major client in Lionel Scaloni’s team: Rodrigo De Paul. Sources from the aeronautical industry confirmed that it was a plane from Surjet, Scatturice’s company, that transported the Inter Miami midfielder from Miami to Lima, where the midfielder spent a few hours at Tini Stoessel’s recital before joining the World Cup concentration in Kansas City.
