President Javier Milei provoked criticism for his statements accusing Raúl Alfonsín of having promoted the coup against Fernando de la Rúa. On the occasion of the 41st anniversary of the UCR's victory, radical legislators expressed their repudiation of these claims.
Rodrigo De Loredo expressed his disapproval through social media, highlighting the importance of Alfonsín as a key figure in Argentina's democratic history. Similarly, Brenda Austin spoke out, labeling Milei as a biased provocateur and emphasizing Alfonsín's role as a defender of human rights and democracy.
Milei made these statements at the Mediterranean Foundation, questioning Alfonsín's role in Argentina's recent history. On the other hand, Senator Pablo Blanco rejected Milei's claims, stating that he was attempting to distort history by accusing Alfonsín of promoting a coup d'état.
The debate extended to social media, where various political figures and organizations like Democracy Forever expressed their disagreement with Milei's statements. The lack of respect toward Alfonsín's legacy was questioned, defending him as a guarantor of democratic stability in crucial moments for Argentina.
In this context, criticisms toward Milei continue from various political sectors that uphold Raúl Alfonsín's figure as a reference for democracy in Argentina. The president's statements triggered a debate about the assessment of the country's recent history and the importance of recognizing the legacy of key political figures in the construction of democracy.
