Buenos Aires, March 1 (NA) – President Javier Milei highlighted the release of Nahuel Gallo but downplayed the intervention of the head of the Argentine Football Association (AFA), Claudio 'Chiqui' Tapia, who provided the plane for his return to the country. In his nationwide speech lasting over two hours on the occasion of the opening of the Congressional sessions, the head of state avoided mentioning the gendarme's release. Later, in an interview with the LN+ channel, Milei was asked about Gallo's return to the country and stated: 'I'm going to put it in black and white: it was a tragedy that he was kidnapped. Now, if he returns for whatever reason, whether thanks to the efforts of the United States and Italy, or because of the vehicle made available by another person or whatever, he is welcome.' 'What matters to me is that Nahuel Gallo is back with us, the rest are matters of the twenty-fifth order,' Milei minimized. Additionally, when specifically asked about Tapia and the AFA, he considered: 'With every thing they do, they get dirtier'.
