President Javier Milei said goodbye to Alejandra 'Locomotora' Oliveras on social media

Libertarian activists recalled the strong bond that had united Milei with Oliveras since the campaign days

Through his Instagram account, President Javier Milei said farewell this Monday to Alejandra "Locomotora" Oliveras, who passed away today at 47 years old.

With a message full of emotion, the Argentine president posted on his account: "Goodbye Locomotora…", along with an image of Oliveras and then-candidate for deputy Javier Milei embracing.

The president's post had an immediate impact among libertarian followers, who recalled the strong bond that united Milei with Oliveras since the campaign days.

Oliveras, known for her charisma, courage in the ring, and social commitment, had publicly expressed her support for Milei during the 2021 legislative elections. In one of her most memorable appearances, she participated in a public economics class given by the then-candidate in Parque Saavedra (CABA), where she gave him a pair of boxing gloves and stated: "He has to be our next president." Since then, she supported the libertarian leader numerous times on social media.

"Locomotora" used to highlight the importance of individual effort, discipline, and merit, values she shared with the president.

The former boxer, recognized for her career as a world champion in multiple categories and for her overwhelming personality both inside and outside the ring, had been hospitalized urgently a few days ago, generating a wave of concern among her followers and figures from the entertainment industry.

According to reports, the stroke was likely a consequence of prolonged anabolic steroid use and an untreated case of hypertension. The brain damage was irreversible, and her health deteriorated rapidly.

Locomotora Oliveras was much more than an athlete: she became a symbol of struggle, courage, and overcoming adversity. The news of her death caused a strong shock in the media and on social networks, where colleagues, fans, and journalists began to say goodbye to her with messages of deep sorrow and admiration.

With the phrase "Goodbye Locomotora…", Milei summed up the feelings of millions who today say farewell not only to a champion of the ring, but to a tireless fighter in life.
