Never in the history of Casa Rosada So many gifts from dogs and lions arrived in different formats: ornaments, paintings, dolls and more. Is that common citizens and libertarian militants They send their present to Javier Milei, who takes them to the fifth of Olivos, as stated in the Official Registry of Gifts and Trips of the Presidency.
Several of these gifts can later be seen in circumstantial photos in the president’s official residence. Like the paintings, which exhibits them in one of the halls. In the last three months he received at least five works by different little -known artists who had Olivos.
A citizen gave him a stuffed dog and another “a teddy leoncito”, as it appears in the description . A third, a “pendant ornament with the image of Trump and Musk.” And another citizen, two thread dolls: “President Milei” and “Conan”. On a trip to Tucumán, Milei received a “commemorative tray” with the recorded names of their favorite economists (and their pets): Conan, Milton, Murray and Robert Lucas Jr.
But what gets most to Milei are books. Tens. Although one stands out for its title: “Pyramid scams”, by the therapist and writer Magalí Miraglia. A coincidence. “One tries to raise awareness and all attempts are valid. It was an attempt to reach someone with power so that I can understand where the problem is,” said the author.
Many of the works that come to Casa Rosada have to do with economy, finance, history and, above all, religion. Some titles: “Meditation, Spiritual Healing and Planetary Ascension”, “The Colimba de los Leones” and “How to recover from the abuses of financial power”, among others.
In December, Prior to the parties, the president and his sister received “a voucher for a spa stay”, in an establishment in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Recoleta. It does not appear whether it was used, or who did it.
There are not too many diplomatic gifts, but they highlight that of the Russian ambassador to Argentina, Dmitry Feoktistov, who gave Milei a bottle of vodka “Ohelnh”. There are also dates boxes that reached several members of the cabinet from the Arab Emirates.
The general principle indicates that officials cannot receive gifts, except when they are diplomatic courtesy. And whenever they do not exceed $ 160 thousand, according to the law. If a gift that does not correspond to receive arrives, the official has the obligation to reject it.
The gift receiver, which may be the president or any of its officials, elects the destination of the gift. Milei makes them send to the fifth of Olivos.
In previous efforts, the official gifts chopped in Punta: the arrival of a president to a province was accompanied by a gift from the governor and then other distinctions of companies or entrepreneurs in the region. But as Milei does not usually travel – in the interior – and its relationship with the provincial leaders usually be tense, it almost does not appear in the registration of those.
The official list also demonstrates the libertarian power concentration: The second official who receives the most gifts is Karina.
