I Want to Talk About Messi, Not Milei!

While the world is captivated by football, particularly Lionel Messi's exploits, the author finds themselves more inclined to write about the soccer star than the current political climate in Argentina. The political scene, however, is not entirely stagnant. The arrival of Diego "Colo" Santilli, or perhaps more accurately, the departure of spokesperson Adorni, has seemingly brought some order. The author recalls December 10, 2023, when President Javier Milei took office, turning his back on Congress. Santilli, then a deputy, was also present. The article references a past X post by "El Pelu" that described Santilli as a "corrupt" politician involved with organized crime and drug trafficking, though the post has since been deleted. The author suggests that Milei's own past statements and the context of a difficult campaign, possibly funded by the Economy Minister, might offer some perspective on these accusations. The author also points out that "El Pelu" may not have anticipated Milei becoming president when he made those remarks.

Despite the claim that "nothing is happening here," the author argues that significant developments are underway, even if they receive little media attention. Karina Milei, the president's sister and chief of staff, has been active in inaugurating leadership schools for "La Libertad Avanza" in various provinces. These schools aim to prepare party members for governance, reflecting a strategic focus on political training. Karina often states, "We must be prepared to govern," a sentiment that seems to mirror her own rapid transition from a pastry chef to a key political figure. The article implies that while the national risk index has fallen, these organizational efforts by the Milei administration warrant closer attention.
