The presidential discourse is described as "vertiginously degraded," with the leader allegedly neglecting state affairs. The administration's operations are reportedly handed over to a sister with minimal experience and an "ungovernable brother" engrossed in internal palace conflicts. The president himself is said to dedicate most of his time to distractions, crafting theories of misunderstood genius, and issuing pronouncements online.
This "cultural battle," as the president frames it, is characterized by bullying, hatred, systematic manipulation of facts, and discrediting those who challenge his narratives. The article points to explosive factional wars within the libertarian administration, which have led to the president's own inner circle exposing alleged deceptions.
An example cited involves the president's proclamation of Josรฉ Luis Espert's innocence, despite Espert's financier having pleaded guilty to fraud and money laundering. The article suggests the president dismisses such revelations as fabrications by "infamous periosobres" (a derogatory term for journalists). Even allies reportedly find these claims ridiculous.
The piece further criticizes the president's excuse that "they lie to the President," implying he is isolated and misinformed by sycophants. However, it argues that the president knowingly embraces his own deceptions, citing the case of LEFI (letras fiscales de liquidez). Despite the economic team's concerns about eliminating these fiscal instruments, the president and his minister allegedly denied this disagreement and attacked journalists who reported it.
