The methodology that President Javier Milei chose to build politics, with strong public criticism towards those who do not share his ideas, projects and proposals, set off the alarms of the Buenos Aires legislator Facundo Del Gaiso , of the Civic Coalition. For the leader, “ we are nowhere close to some 'libertarian copito' wanting to kill a deputy .”

“President Milei calling Ricardo López Murphy 'trash' for thinking differently deserves everyone's repudiation, no matter the political space. It cannot be naturalized that the President insults leaders,” Del Gaiso said through social networks.

Yesterday, and within the framework of an official activity in the province of Corrientes, Milei described López Murphy as a “ traitor to the ideas of freedom ,” who “ disguises himself as a liberal and is a real piece of trash.” In her diatribe he went further: he assured that the National Congress is “a nest of rats.”

These questions generated a strong response from various political sectors. López Murphy responded to the President and compared his attacks to those made by Fidel Castro and Cristina Kirchner against his opponents .

It doesn't do anyone any good to animalize opponents. This old problem comes from a time when he used the expression to treat his adversaries as worms (in 2021 he called Horacio Rodríguez Larreta that way), and it is the expression that Fidel Castro, the tyrant of the Caribbean , used to treat those who opposed them, inside and outside the country. And that expression is terribly unfortunate and hurts us a lot. It is the same when he uses it or when Cristina uses it with carancho,” said the former Minister of Economy in radio statements.

Meanwhile, the national deputy of the Civic Coalition, Juan Manuel López , said: “If Milei spent 5 minutes in his inappropriate fury and channeled his energy better, he would achieve much more than what he proposes and what Argentina needs.” On her side, the president of Public Confidence and Buenos Aires legislator, Graciela Ocaña , expressed her unconditional support for the economist from Republicanos Unidos.

Franco Rinaldi , former first candidate for Buenos Aires legislator on Jorge Macri 's list and who renounced that nomination due to discriminatory comments, questioned the President's statements and reproached the "coherence" of his political speech. “Unfortunate statements by President Milei against the national deputy Ricardo López Murphy. I was part of that list in 2021 that the President of the Nation alluded to today, from Corrientes. I also regret that his statements are misleading if not false and that they are nourished by a pendulum reasoning that goes from the fundamentalism of values to the rationality of political realism, from whom he read Machiavelli for beginners, "he said from the account. personal of him.

And he continued: “Perhaps this pendulum mode is what allows him to talk about a caste and have it inside or incorporate the one that was still outside so that it can enter, for example: Daniel Scioli. Or speak with the right against taxes, classify them as theft, and at the same time raise them . And a long etcetera. For the rest, I prefer liberals who believe and move towards a limited government rather than those who crow against the State, but ask Congress for full powers for the executive.

The failed parliamentary passage of the project promoted by the Executive generated the fury of the President, who concentrated his attacks on those he considers "traitors", among them deputies and governors . His fight against the provincial leaders escalated further and involved the singer Lali Espósito , in the midst of the use of the public budget of the Provinces to hold festivals.

Finally, legislator Del Gaiso's comment about “libertarian drink” is not random. The so-called “banda de los copitos”, led by Nicolás Carrizo, is investigated by Justice for the attack against former president Cristina Kirchner .

Carrizo has been detained since September 13 and has already been accused of being a secondary participant in the incident; However, the complaint demands that he be accused of illicit association along with Fernando Sabag Montiel , the man who aimed at the Vice President's head, and his partner, Brenda Uliarte , both of whom are prosecuted as co-authors of attempted aggravated homicide.
