The former head of the Argentine Army, César Milani, a character with a career marked by his ties to Kirchnerism and his legal troubles, will once again be in the eye of the storm with his upcoming appearance at a Peronist Party (PJ) event. While some sectors value his experience in military intelligence, others consider him controversial.
In recent statements, Milani criticized the lack of investment in equipment for the Armed Forces and denounced the situation of their workers, many of whom live below the poverty line. His return to the public scene has reignited interest in the legal cases he faces, especially in the context of his quest for parliamentary immunity to protect himself legally.
Despite being dismissed in two cases, Milani remains under investigation for Illicit Enrichment and has been linked to the case regarding the murder of prosecutor Alberto Nisman. His possible entry into active politics has generated divisions within Peronism, especially among sectors aligned with Jorge Taiana, who reject his figure.
Speculation suggests that the event in which Milani will participate could be the first step to position himself as a candidate in the upcoming elections. However, the Supreme Court has recently rejected one of his petitions, upholding a decision concerning his case under established judicial guidelines.
Milani's figure continues to generate criticism, especially against the government of Javier Milei and Defense Minister Luis Petri. His discourse on sovereignty and defense policy is interpreted as part of a broader strategy to present himself as a candidate. With accusations of illicit enrichment and suspicions regarding his possible involvement in serious incidents, such as Nisman’s murder, Milani's future remains uncertain.
