President Javier Milei categorically rejected the rumors circulating about alleged bribery requests from close individuals to obtain private meetings with him, labeling such rumors as "gossip from a hair salon." In his statements, the leader dismissed these accusations, asserting that they were mere baseless speculations.
Regarding the controversy surrounding the cryptocurrency $LIBRA, Milei stated that he did not consider it a problem directly related to him, as it dealt with conflicts between third parties. Additionally, when referencing an article mentioning alleged bribes published by The New York Times, the president pointed out that the comments were vague and evasive, maintaining the stance that they were baseless gossip.
During a television interview, when asked about "Cryptogate," Milei explained that upon perceiving possible negative implications, he decided to withdraw a message on Twitter. He also emphasized that the individuals involved in the $LIBRA cryptocurrency did so voluntarily.
Concerning the meetings with businessmen mentioned in the controversy, such as Hayden Davis, with whom he had met at Casa Rosada, the president indicated that he had taken preventive measures regarding this. Milei expressed his willingness to wait for the judiciary's actions before proceeding against the journalists responsible for spreading false information.
Lastly, despite considering himself an expert in stimulating economic growth and reducing inflation, Milei admitted that the topic of cryptocurrencies was a highly specialized and sophisticated field.
