It appears that the despicable former Argentine President Mauricio Macri, whose 2015-2019 presidency dismantled the economy and saddled the country with an unpayable $44 billion IMF debt, is now running the presidential campaign of the extremist Libertarian Javier Milei. It was Macri who orchestrated the “alliance” between Milei and Patricia Bullrich, the former presidential candidate whose poor showing in the first round of Oct. 22 elections disqualified her for the Nov. 19 runoff. Mieli will face Sergio Massa, Finance Minister and candidate of the ruling Unity for the Fatherland coalition.
Never having hidden his support for Milei, even though Bullrich was running on his own Together Let’s Change coalition (JxC) ticket, Macri is now calling the shots for Milei’s campaign, announcing his “unconditional support” for Milei on Oct. 26, who is the voice of “real change” in Argentina, he said. Aside from funneling money into Milei’s campaign, Macri may have to increasingly take charge as Milei’s emotional stability is becoming more of an issue. During an Oct. 26 appearance on the widely watched A24 talk show, he appeared increasingly agitated, paranoid and psychologically unhinged.
