Former Argentine President Fernández questions Milei's 'psychiatric condition' amid economic criticism

Former Argentine President Alberto Fernández has re-emerged to sharply criticize the current administration of President Javier Milei, questioning his economic management and even suggesting a review of his "psychiatric condition." Fernández, who faces his own legal challenges, accused Milei of governing erratically and lacking a realistic understanding of both Argentina's economy and global affairs.

Fernández dismissed Milei's frequent assertion that he inherited the worst economic situation in Argentina's history. Instead, the former president argued that current problems stem directly from Milei's own policies and decisions, particularly his reliance on borrowing money. Fernández pointed to sectors like oil, gas, mining, and agriculture as the only areas showing positive performance, representing just 9% of employment, while stating that 87% of economic activity has been negative for three years.

Adding a personal attack, Fernández stated, "It's time we reviewed his psychiatric condition because he is leading us to a bad place." He further elaborated that Milei is "locked in a framework of thought that prevents him from modifying his policies," describing the president's economic approach as "dogmatic." Fernández suggested that Milei's mental state requires medical attention, especially given his position as president, and claimed Milei's inner circle is unwilling to acknowledge this.
