Argentina's Defense Minister Luis Petri Criticized for His Style

The Minister of Defense, Luis Petri, has once again been strongly criticized on social media for his usual military looks.

The new mockery arose after a post by renowned political scientist and director of Synopsis Consultors, Lucas Romero. "In the end, it feels like we're not buying F-16s, but rather buying a Petri spring-summer catalog," Romero tweeted.

The political analyst's comments did not go unnoticed, and many users joined the onslaught against the Mendoza native.

One of them, also on 'X', criticized the role of the deputy elected from Mendoza. "The Minister of Defense's career as a commercial model is unheard of. He is the most infantile," added one user.

Another user used all their wit to compare the Mendoza native's style to the image of 'auto parts almanacs.'

Petri was also compared to other political leaders focused on self-promotion. "It's just like Randazzo trying to take over the trains," another user pointed out.
