The “diva” of Argentine television presented this Sunday the recording of the exclusive meeting she had last Thursday at the Pink House with the head of State, of whom until now only the photo of both of them waving from the balcony of the Government House was known, in parallel to the dissemination of the poverty figures of 52.9%the worst indicator in two decades.
The main definitions of Javier Milei with Susana Giménez
The interview, recorded in White Living Room of the Pink House, It lasted just under 30 minutes and covered different topics, including the poverty index released by INDEC last week and current economic events, with falling indicators. “We received an inheritance that constituted the worst of the three Argentine crises. It is not a minor issue. If it had exploded, we would be talking about 95% of poor people”Milei said first.
Then, given the driver’s comment about el 52.9% of poor, The president disassociated himself from responsibilities for the increase in the number and asked to remind people that “poverty is not created in a day nor is it eliminated in a day”. And, at the same time, he blamed the governments that preceded him by pointing out that 100 years cannot be reversed in 9 months: “I don’t do magic.”
Regarding the evolution of the economy, he assured that “The indicators show that the bottom was reached in April and May”. Furthermore, he dared to predict that “From now on there is only good news.”
Given the economic definitions of Milei, The actress reminded him that, despite the future forecast, the current situation for Argentines is not good, especially for retirees. However, as he stated weeks ago when he vetoed the increase in retirements, The President rebuked him: “Retirement tripled in dollars.”
In another section of the interview, the presenter asked him about his approach to the economy and the president recalled that it was when he was eleven years old. “What made me become an economist was the exchange rate crisis in 1982. I remember (Lorenzo) Sigaut saying “He who bets on the dollar loses.” I had decided to be an economist when I was eleven years old,” he said.
However, his passion for the profession came in 1989. “At that time I was in the youth ranks of Chacarita and I accompanied my mother to the supermarket. In that context I saw the girls passing by with a gun to mark up prices and people jumped on them. I thought “prices are going up here and people are rushing for the merchandise.” That gave me a very strong shock and motivated me to study economics,” he recalled.
Javier Milei on the UN, its alignment with the US and Israel and the “surprise” about China
The host also took the opportunity to ask him about his recent trip to the United States, where he participated for the first time in the UN General Assembly. In this regard, Milei stated: “The speech of the UN It was very good. Obviously it bothered the world progress. He had already given an uncomfortable speech in Davos and this time was no exception. The UN It is an exacerbated socialist madness. It cannot be that 80 people choose the destiny of 8 thousand people. I said that if they continued on this path I was going to abandon neutrality. I’m not going to accept any of the crap these people propose. “I propose returning to the ideas of freedom, to the founding values of the UN.”
He then defended his international alignment with USA and Israel, although it was also surprising to highlight the link with China, despite the strong criticism he gave him during the campaign. “We choose to align ourselves with liberal values. We decided to be partners with the United States, regardless of whether Republicans or Democrats govern, and with Israel. “It is the only democracy in the Middle East and yet the UN systematically condemns it.”
And regarding his relationship with the People’s Republic of China, the head of state said he was “pleasantly surprised.” And he went deeper: “We had a meeting with the Ambassador. The next day they unblocked the SWAP for us. China is a very interesting trading partner. They don’t demand anything. The only thing they ask is that they not be disturbed.“In addition, he announced that next year he will travel to said country: “I am going to China for the CELAC meeting in January.”
Javier Milei on his relationship with Amalia “Yuyito” González
The actress and host also asked the President about his relationship with the star. Amalia “Yuyito” González. “Luna Park is where the love affair with Amalia occurred“, he said regarding the meeting between the two at the party event last May, when he presented his book.
“I was able to interact with her at Luna Park. There I said “Wow”“continued the president, who at that time was separated from the actress Fátima Flores. “I had ended my relationship about three months ago,” he recalled.
Regarding “Yuyito” González, his current partner, he said that one of the first times he saw her was in a report with Jorge Rial, when he returned from Mexico. “I saw her and I was very shocked. I said, “What a good woman.” I had an idealization with her. The good thing is that when I saw it, it was better than what I had idealized,” he said.
Finally, he referred to his first steps in politics and recalled that it was his sister, Karina Milei, who motivated him to apply for the Presidency of the Nation. “The element that unleashes my presidential career is due to an action of hers. When we ran the campaign for Deputies and entered Congress, it occurred to my sister that we draw a raffle for the diet. We did the draw in Mar del Plata and more than 10 thousand people gathered. So we said ‘Something is happening here’ and with the other genius, who is Santiago Caputo, We decided to start the campaign. “My sister was right.”.
