The post made this morning by Milei
President Javier Milei posted this Friday on social networks a biblical passage - Exodus 34:1-25 - in Hebrew, included in the Old Testament.

And God said to Moses: smooth two tables of stone like the first ones, and I will write on those tables the words that were on the first tables that you broke ,” is the translation of the quote made by the head of state in his account of X (Twitter).

The quote refers to the 10 commandments . To understand it, you have to read another fragment of the Old Testament, Exodus 32:15-19. God had given the original tables to Moses, who upon descending from Mount Sinai saw the people worshiping the golden calf , threw the tables to the ground and broke them . The golden calf was a cult image in Israel, a symbol of a God that could be seen.

It is not the first time that Milei alludes to the Old Testament. On February 8 he had made another post in Hebrew with a biblical fragment during which Moses punishes those who defied him. On that occasion, the message was interpreted in a political key after the stop in Congress of the Omnibus Law and the tension unleashed between the Casa Rosada and the so-called “traitors”, legislators who had promised to vote in favor and finally did not do so. .

In the Casa Rosada they assured Infobae that Milei will make a political interpretation of Exodus 32.15-19 during his speech before the Legislative Assembly. That interpretation consists of insisting on the basic concepts of the Omnibus Law as Moses did with the 10 Commandments when he returned to Mount Sinai to write The Tables for the second time.

The president assumes that he has a political mandate that he must fulfill after winning the presidential elections, and once he has overcome the experience of rejection during the extraordinary sessions (in terms of the Torah, there would no longer be worship of the Golden Calf), he must insist for the second time with a legislative initiative that he considers key to his government program.

Yesterday, the presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni avoided anticipating the content of the speech and this Friday the usual press conference every morning at Casa Rosada will not be held, therefore we will have to wait for the national network tonight to find out the content of the speech. pronouncement of the Executive Branch.

The Argentine president's post is accompanied by the now classic pro-government harangue “Long live freedom, damn it,” which will surely be part of tonight's speech, which unlike other years will be at night and from a lectern.

For now, the legislative palace woke up fenced this Friday. The national and city governments will deploy an operation of almost 5,000 troops to protect the security of the President and apply - if necessary - the anti-picket protocol.

Left-wing parties called to demonstrate against Milei. The organizers also want to avoid a repeat of the worrying image of December 10, when a protester threw a “bottle” at the President and injured one of his bodyguards.

As already happened in previous devices, the Special Federal Operations Group will be part of the mega operation; the Motorized Police Corps; the White Brigade; the Special Tactical Assault Group (GEAT) of the Airport Security Police; the Special Force “Alacrán” of the Gendarmerie, and the Albatros Group of the Prefecture, among other special groups.

Piquetero organizations such as the Polo Obrero, the MST-Frente de Izquierda Unidad, the MTR Votamos Luchar; the Movement 29, the MTR April 12, the Classist and Combative Current (CCC), the Historical MTR, the Popular Rebellion Movement Facundo Morales, the Free People, the Tupac Amaru Neighborhood Organization, the Social Movements in Struggle, the CTA Neighborhood Front and the Tire Union (SUTNA), among other organizations, have already announced that, starting at 5:00 p.m., they will gather in front of Congress.
