Recent events have been deemed highly serious by the Unión Cívica Radical (UCR). The concern arises from the president using his personal account to promote the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, which resulted in a rapid increase in its value followed by a swift devaluation. The UCR asserts that the presidential office is a fundamental asset for the country and its institutions, and it cannot be used so irresponsibly.
In a statement issued, the UCR emphasized that the president's statements on economic and financial issues, especially on investment matters, must be made responsibly, only when necessary to promote the general interest and collective benefit. The political bloc believes an investigation should be conducted to determine the legal, civil, and criminal liabilities that may correspond to Milei regarding what happened.
In this regard, the UCR demands a prompt clarification from President Javier Milei regarding the scandal surrounding the fall of the $LIBRA platform. According to the issued statement, it is estimated that the administrators of $LIBRA made profits close to 87 million dollars at the expense of investors. In light of this situation, the UCR requests official explanations and warns that if they do not receive them, parliament will be forced to intervene in the matter.
