“The direction is correct. Changing it would be dynamiting what has been achieved. That is why we ask for patience.” The solemn tweet that appeared on Javier Milei’s profile on Thursday afternoon aroused attention in different camps. Not only because of the polite way of writing that is far from the machine gun of posts of recent weeks, and makes it clear that the text was not his authorship. But because, for the first time, The president recognized what for a large part of the country is a suffering fact, the economic plan does not close. But the solvent tone is not just a plea to those still hopeful. It is also the libertarian leader’s recognition of the level of difficulty of his present: the circus no longer serves to hide the shortage of bread.
This week, Indec will release a new inflation index and, if the private consultants are correct, it will be positioned on the rise for the tenth consecutive month. Concern is not just something for the average citizen. Several businessmen and honorary members of the red circle begin to look with increasing concern at a scenario that they decide not to approach to prevent it from collapsing. They will never say it out loud, but it is enough to listen to them talk for a few minutes to know what the position that unites them is. “It doesn’t go any further.” With more or less anger, the premise is repeated over and over again among the heterogeneous members of the power tables. Patience is no longer the same.
Star product of chaos engineers, Milei knows by heart that the best way to divert attention is to start a conflict on another front.. What he did not foresee, however, was that his doctrine would turn against him. This week, the notary Adriana Mónica Nechevenko, who participated in the three real estate operations that Manuel Adorni consolidated in the last two years, gave a show on par with unforgettable television cycles from the beginning of the century. After testifying as a witness, the notary opened a media raid that the government cut short after her difficulty in avoiding questions about why she did not request a report on the origin of the funds or how it did not catch her attention that in two decades of friendship the now chief of staff managed to acquire three properties at the same time he landed in public management.
Surrounded by his own loyalty that prevents him from making drastic decisions such as getting rid of his former spokesperson to try to balance the drag of his negative image, Milei doubled down and decided to stage a false management hyperactivity. With cabinet meetings, photo books of ministers and the reactivation of a dormant Congress, the libertarian leader intends to redirect the guns and return to normality as soon as possible. But nothing is going according to plan. The clerk, to make matters worse, even became a meme.
Thirty complex days
For a month now, all the attention of the media, and worse, of the average citizen, has been focused on the news of a cause that never ceases to surprise due to the histrionics and vulgarity of the facts. After cardboard, the fierce internal conflict between Karina and Santiago Caputo has long been boiling at a point of no return that paralyzes the president and prevents him from choosing, once and for all, between his blood sister and his soul brother. The heroism of fantastic stories warns that when circumstances are nothing more than adverse, brilliant ideas usually find a way to make their way. Enlightenment, it seems, is not part of the libertarian ranks.
Since Monday, Tiempo Argentino and the undersigned are prohibited from entering the Casa Rosada. The decision, arbitrary, warns of a series of complications for democratic life, the free exercise of a profession that is fundamental for the political and social development of the country and, personally, a stake in the work spectrum of this barely journalist. Although the effect was different, the truth is that this circumstance exposes a new vein that de-erotizes even the most sympathetic: La Libertad Avanza stopped being an innovative party.
Getting involved with journalism, in addition to being a practice that unites them with the models they defenestrate, lacks creativity. The government could have put together a real management agenda, such as real results and real policies. He could even opt for electoral measures. Lower withholdings, provide new and better social assistance, open the stocks, inaugurate statues. Instead, Without any vision of strategy within their collegiate political tables, they opted for opaque solutions and manifest desperation.which has little to do with that space that knew how to captivate due to its determination to reconstruct the status quo to its liking. Today, they are nothing more than a crude version of what they once were.
What’s coming
Next week, Ariel Lijo will delve deeper into the judicial measures. The prosecutor, Gerardo Pollicita, will take a testimonial statement from the seller and the contractor who made the renovations in the house in the country of Exaltación de la Cruz, from the saleswomen from the department of Caballito and the son of one of them. The prosecutor requested that all witnesses arrive with documentation that allows them to prove the origin of the funds linked to the real estate operations and their respective sworn statements. There is nothing to predict that, contrary to what is expected within the government and a judicial minister who arrived with the promise of solving everything by magic, the case will not advance at a steady pace. The question that arises, then, is whether the president will continue to remain undaunted by the prayers of his officials and activists to get rid of the anchor that complicates his image. For now, it would appear that the phone is broken.
