The scandal of José Luis Espert and the alleged drug trafficker Fred Machado Keep climbing in the libertarian ranks. These days, the American justice revealed a payment made of the controversial Patagonian businessman of 200,000 dollars to the liberal economist for his political campaign of 2019. An event that places the national deputy in the eye of the storm once more.
The legislator, who in other times happened to be a political partner to critic of his own Javier Milei, Today is the name headed by the La Libertad Ballot advances in the Buenos Aires district in the mid -term legislative elections, which will be held on Sunday, October 26. A disappointing panorama for the liberal leader who was splashed, in recent weeks, for the affair of his former friend’s audios Diego Spagnuolo And, now, remembered for his link with opaque figures from the narco world.
For several years, within Mileista’s own space, he has been observed with great distrust. Characters of the libertarian ecosystem, such as Lilia Lemoine, have shot at the parliamentarian accusing him of “valijero” or “to go out with taxiboys.” In addition to different writings, with a signature of Milei and his former partner Diego Giacomini, who questioned the type of financing that the liberal leader used for his campaign.
The Buenos Aires legislator Agustín Romo, right hand of Santiago Caputo and one of the main paintings of The forces of heaven, He was one of the bishops that most attacked Espet in the past. In October 2023, in full presidential campaign of Libertad advances, the tweeter posted: “How lucky we have had the liberals that Milei has gotten into politics. Without him, we would continue to be represented by the Valijero de Espert, who could get the plane of a drug trafficker and stay forever and always as a slave of Massa and Larreta.”
Currently, just from the elections, the president himself had to publicly leave the first candidate of LL by province of Buenos Aires. In Antonio Laje’s television cycle, Milei described the accusation of “hairdressing chimento”, attributing it to “a K operation.” In this situation, the priority of the libertarians is to avoid the escape of votes and contain the collapse in this key district.

The combination of a weakened candidate and a scandal in full campaign can bring serious consequences in the libertarian administration and it is estimated that this will be a political blow that will fully reach the governance of Milei.
