He betrayed his values, downplayed the violence, and aligned himself with the leftist terrorist picketers
Villarruel's lukewarmness sparked outrage among her own voters, who chose her for her firm stance against street violence. Her attempt to present herself as a conciliatory figure not only distances her from Milei but also leaves her in an incoherent and erratic position.
Meanwhile, the president and his ministers make it clear that they will not allow the country to be held hostage by picketers and organized mafias, the vice president seems to have switched sides.
As if the situation weren't grave enough, Judge Karina Andrade decided to release most of the detainees in an act of extreme leniency that only encourages the repetition of violent acts. The government has already announced that it will take measures against the magistrate, while the Minister of Justice, Mariano Cúneo Libarona, anticipated a complaint before the Council of the Judiciary.
In this context, Villarruel's statements not only weaken the government but also send a message of confusion and disorder. Does the vice president prefer to appease the leftist picketers rather than support the government's firmness? Her erratic stance raises questions about her political future and makes it clear that, at the most critical moment, she decided to turn her back on those who brought her to power.
Victoria Villarruel went mad and betrayed the values that led her to the vice presidency. In an unusual statement, she described yesterday's violent demonstration as an "exercise of democracy" and expressed solidarity with the leftist terrorist picketers who attacked the police.
Meanwhile, the government denounced an attempted coup orchestrated by Kirchnerism and supported the actions of the security forces, Villarruel decided to align herself with the violent ones.
What began as a protest by retirees turned into a fielded battle when groups of hooligans and political activists infiltrated the demonstration. The police arrested 124 people amid a scene of destruction, assaults, and absolute chaos. Far from firmly condemning the events, the vice president downplayed the violence and equated the aggressors with the security agents who put their bodies on the line to restore order.
Meanwhile, Javier Milei's government denounced the demonstration as a direct attack on the country's stability, Villarruel opted for an ambiguous and contradictory stance. "Violence is not the way, but the right to protest is part of democracy," she stated, minimizing the attacks on the police and revealing her disconnection from reality.
