Carlos Bianco described President Javier Milei as 'Nazi,' trivializing one of history's greatest horrors

In April 2025, Carlos Bianco, Minister of Government of the Province of Buenos Aires and political ally of Governor Axel Kicillof, was at the center of a serious controversy after publicly labeling President Javier Milei as a "Nazi". This statement, made during an interview and in public remarks, caused strong rejection both within and outside the political sphere.
Media figures such as journalist and political scientist Jonatan Viale and La Libertad Avanza candidate Leila Gianni reacted harshly, going so far as to describe Bianco as a "piece of animal and brute" for trivializing the Holocaust and sparking a bitter confrontation that went beyond rhetoric to raise the possibility of legal complaints for slander and libel.

This episode takes place in a context of growing tensions and increasingly aggressive actions by sectors linked to Kirchnerism in Buenos Aires Province. According to critics, Minister Bianco's attitude demonstrates "political and moral irresponsibility" by using a term that represents a human tragedy of great magnitude solely as an epithet to discredit a political opponent.
As additional but no less significant context, in April of the same year, Bianco was intercepted during a breathalyzer checkpoint in the early hours of Sunday, around 1 a.m., at the Dock Sud tollbooth on the Buenos Aires–La Plata Highway, while he was driving a vehicle belonging to the Buenos Aires provincial government. The official refused to take the test, so his digital driver's license was withheld.

The Buenos Aires provincial government confirmed that Bianco "exercised his right not to be filmed during the procedure" and chose to have the corresponding report drawn up in his place. It is worth noting that the episode occurred within Buenos Aires jurisdiction, where the zero-tolerance alcohol law for drivers is in force, a law that completely prohibits alcohol consumption for those who drive.
As additional but no less significant context, the vehicle has accumulated 137 fines totaling more than 21.5 million pesos (47,400 pounds) in unpaid violations between the province and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires. The offenses include serious speeding violations, cell phone use while driving, and repeated circulation in restricted areas for heavy traffic, as well as irregular maneuvers such as partially concealing the license plate. The record even includes fines issued during the mandatory social isolation in 2020, reflecting a constant disregard for traffic regulations.
