[Digital Nomad]

It sounds like Milei's team already knows the May pact won't happen in May. Most likely get delayed.

At this rate it will be a bestseller. Mark this post. He will most likely win a Nobel Price for Economics in the future for what he is doing in Argentina.

Milei sounds like he had a good speech in Spain recounting the evils of socialism.

You gotta give it up to Milei. He is unapologetic and speaks how bad socialism is. I admire his tell it like it is attitude. One thing is for sure, if he is successful in Argentina you should see more and more countries around the world going to the right.

Spin is everything. If you ask his haters he is doing horrible and Argentina is falling apart. If you ask his supporters he is performing miracles.

Fox News says he is a miracle worker.

It is ok if Milei don't agree with other leaders but why always he antagonize the people? Why he need to create conflict of Spain? Now Spain recall Ambassador. This not needed to do.

To be fair Spain antagonized Milei first. I'm here in Spain and the entire thing is very funny. Milei talked the truth about socialism and also corruption. Looks like people want to jump on the bandwagon.

I saw on X one of the top searches in the WORLD is #PedroVigilaATuEsposa. Funny! #1 in Spain and Argentina. Seems best not to mess with President Milei. The guy is on fire.

One thing for sure is Javier Milei has a lot of momentum behind him from people all over the world. This feels like something different. I just read that even Mark Zuckerberg is meeting Milei the end of this month.

Screw the Spanish government.

 

[Digital Nomad]

Screw the Spanish government.

Somehow I don't think Milei is the type of person to care what they say or think. If he sees corruption he will say it as it is. Things would probably not be a big deal but it was someone in the Spanish government that said Milei was high on drugs. So they shot the first cannon. I am sure that probably is the reason why he said that.

 

[Aussieland]

Screw the Spanish government.

Milei is a total rockstar.

But I don't think it's a good idea to pick fights like this. But maybe that is the attention to get more eyeballs and attention. He is very popular in Europe for his ideology.
