In what seems like a country love story with Javier Milei, the wait for the meeting that the president had agreed with 130 producers at Expoagro seemed eternal.
Last Tuesday in San Nicolas there was a tent set up for the occasion cooled to 14 degrees to be in tune with the temperature preferred by the President, but which made the less prudent present shiver. Outside the thermometer read 27 degrees.
Some attributed that level of cooling to the power outage that interrupted his class for about 15 minutes.
When the cut occurred, the presidential sister approached. The President took it calmly with José Luis Espert who consecrated by sharing the stage. And he released a chapel: “I put too much energy into fixing it, too much strength.”
Milei occasionally called the current head of the Congressional Budget Committee a teacher. Expert told him: ““The students surpass the teacher.”
Of course, in the 90 minutes that his presentation lasted, Milei received particular attention despite a speech with already known concepts and diatribes.
In the auditorium, in addition to the Expoagro authorities, there were, among others, the CEOs of the main agricultural and seed machinery companies, contractors and producers. They were not effusive with their applause.
Curious what happened to the officials who in the early hours accompanied the governors of Córdoba, Santa Fe and Entre Ríos for the ribbon cutting of the exhibition: No one was seen in that tent.
In the front row were Minister Guillermo Francos, Karina Milei, Juan Pazo, coordinator of the Secretariats of Mining, Industry and Agriculture and the Secretary of the Bioeconomy, Fernando Vilella.
The President spoke of inflation at 15% in February, the decline of the dollar and the extinction of the currency gap. “We have fired 50 thousand public employees. The world has never made a 5-point adjustment in a month like we have. This is liquefaction and chainsawing.
Then he railed against the governors and their legislators: “They have emptied my Foundations and Laws.” I ordered their removal from Israel. They tried to negotiate jobs especially in voting. They are the caste, like the prebendary businessmen, the crazy trade unionists,” he said. He reiterated: “We had many champions of corruption and the trust funds and insurance companies said nothing.”
He also spoke about Telam: “Patricia Bullrich and I decided on the fence on Sunday morning. There are 100 barrabrava employees of Telam.” And she also assured that at Quinta de Olivos “they had lunch and dinner every day with Cristal champagne”. He later had to apologize. It was false.
Around 1.30pm, unfortunately for those who wanted to ask him a question or take a selfie in that intimate space, the President finished speaking, he just said goodbye and left with his sister Karina in an adjoining room. And about 15 long minutes passed No one could leave the tent.
A crowd was waiting for him outside, at times euphoric but always enthusiastic. Let’s go wig! Ole Ole Ole”. Milei held out his hand to some and they accompanied him shouting “long live freedom, to hell”, the caste is afraid.
The President has a very important support force on the ground. I was in the golf cart and the tour ended at the Agriculture booth. It was 3pm for the return to Buenos Aires by helicopter with Karina.
