Politics Did Milei make a mistake in choosing his Vice President?

It's clear there's a rift between them, but why did Milei choose her? Now their relationship is minimal, they hardly even speak, which is terrible for effective governance. Is the problem Karina Milei, the President's sister? Villarruel says they’re friends and will overcome any issues, but I really don’t believe it. This breakdown and lack of communication make us vulnerable to the opposition.

Las diferencias entre Milei y Villarruel se acumulan desde la campaña y aseguran que es difícil recomponer la relación

El vínculo entre la Casa Rosada y el Senado quedó atrapado por la tensión evidente. El supuesto mensaje de WhatsApp sin respuesta. El fogoneo del entorno presidencial. Las charlas previas al cierre de listas. La última reunión con Santiago Caputo. La agenda propia de la vicepresidenta

Seems the classic case of two type A personalities. Both very strong personalities and neither side wants to back down. That type of scenario usually doesn’t end well.

Things got worse when Milei criticized the Senate, which is presided over by his Vice President Victoria Villarruel, for approving a salary increase for senators. “Charging 9 million pesos in this context is more than a mockery; it's a betrayal of the working people,” Milei said. However, this isn’t new; relationships between presidential couples have always been problematic in Argentina.

But didn't Villarruel also veto the salary increase or did she vote for it?

Yes, the Senate backed down from the increase, but why do you think they did it? It's clear they felt pressured by Milei.
