Deputy Nicolás Massot (Encuentro Federal) stated that President Javier Milei behaved “like a hooligan” during the swearing-in of deputies, even though he heads “one of the most investigated governments for corruption.” Massot questioned that the head of state, from one of the galleries of the Chamber of Deputies, “starts waving like a hooligan, singing ‘the caste is afraid,’ when he is the head of one of the most investigated governments for corruption in such a short time.” The parliamentarian referred in this way to Milei's presence in one of the galleries, as reported yesterday by the Argentine News Agency (Agencia Noticias Argentinas), accompanied by his sister, the General Secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, and the Chief of Cabinet, Manuel Adorni, where he chanted songs such as “the caste is afraid.” “The person next to him, his sister, has many answers to give to justice and society, and she was applauding ‘the caste is afraid,’” he expressed in statements to the “Esta mañana” program, broadcast by Radio Rivadavia. Massot emphasized: “I have not seen such caste-like behavior and so quickly in certain governments as in this one. So, I say, you have to cool down a bit and understand that he is the President of the nation, not the head of a clan.” Likewise, the legislator warned about the problems of the economy and said that in the Government “there is an euphoria as if nothing was happening.” He underlined: “This economic model has whitewashed 20,000 million dollars; 12,000 million dollars from the IMF six months later, six months ago 6,000 million more from other international organizations and now a swap.” He warned that the risk is the possibility of falling into defaults for debt payment and asked: “Let's stop looking if Argentina can or cannot pay, here pays (Donald) Trump, and the day that is not there, Argentina is in default in 48 hours.” He also stated that it is noticed “mainly in the most industrial provinces of the country such as Córdoba and Santa Fe”, that there is “a permanent and daily closure of factories and companies”.
