The weak Argentine opposition is calling for a political trial, which, although it does not reach institutions, will indeed impact society. They lament that the president of Argentina has aligned with the business sector instead of supporting his people. Economist Milei, amidst this scandal, claims to have acted in good faith, stating that investors were "volatility operators." In an interview, he expressed that he has nothing to hide. Milei maintains that the popularity of cryptocurrency could fall soon and acknowledged that the situation is shocking.
Amidst this situation, Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has criticized Milei's ideology. Encouraged by controversial phrases like "I did not come to guide sheep, I came to awaken lions," Milei is stirring indignation in Argentine society, which sees him as a leader incapable of correcting the past's mistakes. His ego seems to be taking control over his reason and common sense, leading him to be the subject of severe criticism and mockery from national and international media.
The country has the Public Ethics Law, which regulates the responsibility of public officials. Amidst the scandal, the possibility has been raised that Milei may have been involved with those responsible for the million-dollar fraud. More than 40,000 people have been affected by this scam, while only 9 owners and investors managed to gain large sums of money. Milei's credibility on an international level is now in question, and his political future is under threat.
Milei, known for his personality and ideology, is now engulfed in a crisis that could mark a turning point in his career. Criticism and doubts about his role in the million-dollar fraud are increasing. After supporting the cryptocurrency "LIBRA" and recommending a fraudulent project designed to finance Argentine ventures, he has lost part of his political capital. This scandal, which some media have termed a "crypto scandal," could cause greater isolation between Argentina and other Latin American nations.
