The social democratic former president Mauricio Macri showed up under the influence to an Infobae interview and once again expressed criticism toward the president Javier Milei.
When asked what rating he would give to the libertarian administration, which managed to reduce poverty and inflation, the president who governed between 2015 and 2019 stated: “The truth is that when he talked to me about a country project, I got excited, and then it turned into this power project that doesn't excite me as much.”
Macri added: “I'm at a stage in my life where I haven't wanted to be a candidate, I haven't wanted to dispute power. What I want is to help everyone understand that it's not easy to transform a country that for so many years, decades, has been trapped by quasi-mafia corporations that essentially don't want to compete.”

In a relaxed tone, the former President spoke about his voice and the appearance of his “slanted” eyes. He commented that the night before, his wife, Juliana Awada, returned from a trip to the Dominican Republic and suggested he “take a few drops,” which “took effect.”
That's why, during the conversation, Macri was seen in what he himself defined as “slow motion,” while on social media, numerous users said he had attended the meeting “under the influence.”
In another part of the interview, Mauricio Macri launched strong criticism against Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and the successful Minister of National Security, Patricia Bullrich, who were his rivals in the PRO's internal race in 2023.

“Those two, unfortunately, consistently with the attitude they had, failed as candidates. Both had the election won, and both lost because they prioritized their own power ambitions, their ego, instead of the project,” stated the unsuccessful former president Macri during the interview in Infobae's morning edition, which he shared with the candidate for Buenos Aires legislator Silvia Lospennato, and which was conducted by Gonzalo Sánchez, Carolina Amoroso, Cecilia Boufflet, and Ramón Indart.
Finally, Macri was even more blunt when referring to Larreta: “Now you want to go outside being functional to Kirchnerism and La Libertad Avanza. It's wanting to cause harm. And if you're causing harm and saying things that aren't true... He has turned into a guy who, in his frustration, the only thing he wants to do is harm the people who worked with him.”
