Allegations of Lobbying within Milei's Government

Journalist Cristina Pérez has warned about the existence of a possible lobbying circuit within the Government, where associates of President Javier Milei could be receiving money in exchange for arranging meetings with businessmen, which in some cases do not materialize. Pérez made these statements during her program on Radio Rivadavia, generating significant repercussions as she directly pointed to Milei's inner circle, at a time when the president himself has acknowledged the need to control access to his figure.

In her statements, Pérez linked this accusation to a recent comment by the President expressing the need to establish more filters to prevent any individual from easily accessing him. According to the journalist, this intermediary activity within the Government has already been reported by various sources, indicating that at least three of them informed her about similar situations.

The journalist emphasized that, in some cases, charging money to facilitate meetings with Milei might not guarantee actual access to the President, leaving businessmen without the long-awaited promised audience. Pérez denounced the existence of an environment that offers this type of service and even charges for it, without ensuring a direct meeting with Milei.
