“They talked about everything,” commented an official source to Scope after the meeting held by the president, Javier Milei with former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The topics addressed ranged from international politics, religion, ecology, abortion, technology, to favorite British musicians.
“There was chemistry between the two,” commented those close to the presidential office. To such an extent that this medium was able to confirm that Milei will soon travel to the United Kingdom. And, the former prime minister will personally be in charge of organizing the conference that the Argentine president will give as well as facilitating a meeting with the singer, Mick Jagger.
It was precisely Johnson who made reference to Paul McCartney’s visit, while showing that he knew Milei’s preference for the Rolling Stones. ““She has been asking Cameron for a long time to make it easier for her to meet Jagger,” They comment that Milei would have responded. “I organize it,” They say the former British minister quickly promised.
Promptly at 3 p.m. Boris Johnson entered the Casa Rosada with his book Unleashed (Unleashed, in Spanish) on the arm. The meeting that was requested by Johnson with the head of state lasted more than an hour and a half and the wife and an assistant of the former minister also participated.
Boris gave him the book with the following dedication: “To president Mile with the best wishes” (to President Milei with my best wishes).
He Malvinas theme It was not even mentioned, they clarified in the Casa Rosada. “It was an informal meeting”they explain. In this context, political issues were not avoided, such as, for example, the upcoming elections in the United States, the situation in Israel, Argentina’s link with the United Kingdom.
Religion was also part of the conversation. Here the relationship of the three religions: Catholicism, Judaism and Protestant with loans and the interest rate was analyzed. The discrepancy that exists between Catholicism and the other two religions regarding the charging of interest. According to Milei, explained to Johnson, Catholicism was always associated with the States and, therefore, did not support the charging of interest as it made loans more expensive. The difference between the other two religions, according to what they discussed, is that they have more of a conception of the development of the individual.
The ecology that, in Milei’s opinion, is a proposal “cultural Marxist” and the problems of the drop in the world birth rate and the problem of abortion were also part of the agenda of the meeting.
controversial book
The book that Johnson gave to Milei is an autobiography that generated controversy since the former British official recounts events that occurred during his government that were surprising.
From regretting the apology for the ‘partygate’ meeting he held during the pandemic, to revealing data on the Queen’s health or acknowledging that he thought about invading the Netherlands.
Johnson writes that he asked his military advisors at the time “whether it could be technically feasible to launch an aquatic raid” on a warehouse in the Netherlands to recover AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine doses which he believed they owed to Great Britain.
Johnson’s plan, as he admitted, consisted of clandestinely crossing the English Channel with inflatable boats, sailing through the Dutch canals until he reached the “kidnapped” vaccines and then leaving with a truck.
Finally, after consulting with his advisors, the former prime minister rejected the idea, considering the invasion of a NATO ally “crazy.”
The Deputy Chief of the Defense Staff, Lieutenant General Doug Chalmersassured him that the plan was “certainly feasible”, but warned him that it would not be possible to carry it out without being detected by the Dutch authorities.
“If we are detected we will have to explain why we are in fact invading a long-time NATO ally. “I secretly agreed with what everyone thought, but I didn’t want to say it out loud: that all that was crazy,” says the former British prime minister in his book.
