The president, Javier Milei in LN+: “They are not going to wear me like Macri”

President Javier Milei will return to the center of the political scene this weekend with a television interview that promises strong definitions of Argentina's political, economic and institutional scenario. The report, which will be broadcast next Sunday at 21 on LN+, as part of the program La Cornisa hosted by Luis Majul, has already begun to generate repercussions after some excerpts with strong phrases from the president were released

.

In these advances, Milei made it clear that his government is not willing to retreat in the face of political pressure and that he will maintain a firm position in the face of the Kirchnerist opposition, business sectors that he considers to be beneficiaries of the old system of privileges and power structures that for years maintained a close relationship with the State.

One of the most impactful phrases was the one the President used to describe his political strategy in the face of confrontation with the opposition. “They're not going to wear me like Macri,” he said, referring to the conflicts faced by the Mauricio Macri government between 2015 and 2019, when Kirchnerism maintained strong political pressure in Congress and in the streets. The declaration reflects the will of the current head of state to maintain confrontational leadership in the face of those who question the reform program promoted by the libertarian administration

Another topic addressed during the interview was the situation of Vice President Victoria Villarruel, after versions of internal tensions within the ruling party circulated in recent days. Villarruel herself had publicly responded to these speculations with a message in which she ruled out any possibility of leaving her position: “That's what they want. My resignation. But it's not going to be given to them. On 10/12/2, until that date, I honestly hold my position. Those who don't like it vote what they want in the next round,” said the vice president.

Asked about this controversy, Milei was categorical and denied that there was an attempt by the Government to displace it. “It's a lie, I don't want Villarruel to resign,” said the President, as Majul said during the presentation of the interview

The conversation also included strong criticism of certain business sectors that, according to the president, benefited for decades from a system of state protection.

In this context, Milei took direct aim at Javier Madanes Quintanilla, owner of the Fate tire plant and the main shareholder of Aluar (Argentinian Aluminum).

The President was especially harsh when referring to the businessman: “Madanes Quintanilla is a prebendary businessman and extortionist,” he shot. The criticism comes after the closure of the Fate plant in mid-February, a decision that left hundreds of employees out of work. At the same time, Aluar is experiencing difficulties in a context of increased competition resulting from the opening of imports promoted by the

Government.

In another part of the interview, the president also referred to the judicial case investigating the Argentine Football Association (AFA), an issue that generates strong public interest due to the influence that the organization maintains in national football. Milei spoke about the situation of the president of the AFA and the entity's treasurer, and made it clear that, if justice finds responsibility, they must face the

consequences.

“If Tapia and Toviggino are guilty, they have to pay for it,” he said. As part of this investigation, the president of the AFA managed to postpone his investigation, so he must go to justice on March 12, while the agency's treasurer will also have to come personally to testify. The Government's position aims to reinforce the idea that no institution, however influential, can be left outside the reach of the law

During the report, the topic of the president's political future also emerged. Milei left open the possibility of seeking a new presidency, although at the same time it set a time limit for his tenure in politics. “After 2031 they don't see my hair anymore,” he said. The phrase suggests that the President could seek re-election, but with no intention of extending his political career indefinitely beyond

that horizon.

The background of the speech at the Congress The

statements that will be announced in the interview come a few days after the opening of the regular sessions at the Congress, where the President engaged in a strong verbal confrontation with the Kirchner caucus. During his presentation to the Legislative Assembly, Milei responded to the interruptions of opposition legislators with harsh criticism, even describing them as “fascists”, “squirrels” and “liars

”.

In one of the most tense moments of the speech, the president took aim at Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, without directly mentioning her. “Come on, keep lying, a bunch of thieves, a bunch of squirters. That's why they have their leader in jail! And she will continue to be imprisoned for the cause of the Notebooks, she will remain imprisoned for the Iran Memorandum, she will remain imprisoned for what she did with Roads, because she is a whore, because they were the most spurts in history,” she said

.

At the beginning of his speech, Milei had already set the tone of the exchange when, looking at the opposition, he launched a provocation that generated applause among the ruling legislators: “You could also shout because I am your president even if you don't like it.” Later, while listing the achievements of his administration and mentioning the sanction of the Fiscal Innocence Act, he returned to the Kirchner caucus.

“They can't applaud because their hands slip into other people's pockets,” he said. In another passage of the speech, when he spoke about freedom and property, he redoubled the challenge. “Let's see, let's see, ignorant, social justice is theft, it involves unequal treatment before the law and is preceded by robbery, a bunch of thieves, criminals; that's why they have their prey,” he said
