by Javier Milei in its purest form, with an artificially loud voice that imitates a rock singer, his mannerisms and his well-known preference for false information, he has just provoked an issue between States. Spain is now the targetas Mexico, Colombia were before or, during their electoral campaign, China and Brazil, branded as “communists”. That which in less than a year It has become a custom of perplexity in Argentina has its first chapter in another city in the world, this time with diplomatic consequences. Speaking at a business forum like in Davos, when he said that the West was in danger and he could save it, is not the same as at a global far-right meeting in Madrid. Mieli not only put his throat at the service of Santiago Abascal. He blended in with his language, knowing that he was a leader from another country. He went directly to look for the scandal, to the point of talking about the 150 million deaths that have been caused, according to his calculations, not by the communists, whom he usually sees everywhere, as a result of his own optical distortion in post-Cold War times, but by socialism. He failed to say, “Spanish.”
A feeling of stupor and shame spread throughout Buenos Aires and even among conservative leaders who will prefer silence, after listening to the sharpest moment of his harangue, with the allusion to Begoña Gómez, the wife Pedro Sánchez, and the head of the Spanish Government himself who bore the indelible mark of Vox: “The Global elites do not realize how destructive it can be to implement the ideas of socialism, because they are too far away; they do not know what type of society and country they can produce and what kind of people screwed in power and what levels of abuse can reach. to generate, even when he has a corrupt wife, he gets dirty and takes five days to think about it.
A word without limits
Milei has shown Argentines that he is capable of vehemently stating one thing and then, with the same emphasis, saying the opposite or a third version of what was said. During the election campaign she called her right-wing competitor, Patricia Bullrich, of “murderous terrorist” for his past in the seventies in the Peronist guerrilla, Montoneros. He did not hesitate to lighten the accusation later, when Bullrich was preparing to litigate in court. A few days later, she appointed her Minister of Security.
Before getting on the plane to Madrid, where he stayed in his most luxurious hotel, making an exception to the proclaimed austerity of treasury spending, Milei practiced the sport of provocation on several occasions. What is striking about these interventions is that they had the purpose of attacking economists who are not exactly left-wing but they greatly doubt the effectiveness of their government program or warn of inexorable failure.
Weeks ago it was allowed grotesquely imitate the voice of Carlos Melconian, who was going to occupy the economic portfolio if Bullrich won the elections. During the week that concluded he did the same with Miguel Ángel Broda, who two decades ago had hired him in his economic consulting firm. In a brief speech before the business elite of this country, the president spoke of specialists who make “absolutely idiotic extrapolationsYes, they are a little arrogant, intellectually dishonest, serial blunders.” And he added: “they are square, they are fanatics, they are fanatically arrogant, brazen, liberticidal, short-sighted, ignorant, their faces are going to have to fall in shame, the ridiculousness what they say.” Shortly before, Broda, known for his profession of neoliberal faith, had questioned him.
A “mileist” dictionary
“They don’t see it,” insists the former soccer goalkeeper. A brief “mileista” dictionary should add several entries: “poor boy”, “If you like peaches, put up with the fluff”, “Rathole”“She started”, “Soretes”, “Trash”, “Mogolic”, “Cockroach”, “orgy”, “I’m going to crush you”, “I’m going to break your bones”, “Oxímoron”, “Criminal organization”, “Ensobrados (corrupts)”, “Maccabees”, “sacrifice and pain”, “Good Argentines”, “Fiscal degenerates “, “Vicio”, “Obscene party” and “Thirst for change”.
According to journalist Ernesto Tenembaum, a popular radio presenter who is writing a book about capitalist anarcho, “if Milei were sure of what he said, he would respond calmly” because “he is an intelligent man.” However, “it’s not what comes out.” So, “At any warning, he insults, humiliates, imitates, offends, attacks. It is part of the presidential personality: he interprets any criticism or warning as an offense.” Juan González, the author of Crazythe first biography about the head of state, usually remembers his past as a child humiliated and beaten by his father and schoolmates to explain this rhetorical violence on the surface.
The plagiarism
Many Argentines participated in July 1937 of the II International Congress of Writers for the Defense of Culture which took place in three cities of republican Spain, Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona. On this occasion, and as a new game of inversions of history, the “writer” has been a president and occupied second place in importance, above Marine Le Pene, at the meeting of the “international” of the extreme right in Madrid.
His books are riddled not only with inaccuracies and imaginary numbers. As a staunch defender of private property, he often makes exceptions when it comes to intellectual property. According to the magazine News, su recent book Capitalism, socialism and the neoclassical trap, contains plagiarism, and it is not the first time that it has resorted to that mechanism. In 2022, the same publication had revealed that Pandenomics It included verbatim quotes from six different authors, one of whom filed a legal complaint against him. Now, the publication noted, the same thing happens with Capitalism, socialism and the neoclassical trapthe book that will be presented on the 22nd in the city of Buenos Aires. “The master of copy paste”, they have called it in the Argentine capital. According to Noticias, Milei appropriated a book of essays from 2007 Economic Theories on the labor market II: Neoclassicals and new Keynesians, published by the Fondo de Cultura Económica and written by authors Julieta Albano, Ramiro López Ghio, Pablo E. Pérez, Julieta Salas, and Fernando Toledo, and directed by economist Julio César Neffa. All of them are researchers or collaborators of the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (Conicet), the scientific organization that the far-right Government threatens to reduce to a minimum because it considers it a socialist den.
