The libertarian president’s response comes after the leader of the Workers’ Party (PT) targeted Milei and pointed out that “He must apologize to Brazil and to me. He said a lot of nonsense. “I just want him to apologize.”
Amid the euphoria over the parliamentary victory in the House of Representatives, after the approval of the Bases law and the fiscal package, the leader of La Libertad Avanza (LLA) responded:
“The things I said above are true. What are the problems? What did I say corrupt? And wasn’t he arrested for being corrupt? And what did I tell you, communist? And isn’t he a communist? Since when do you have to apologize for telling the truth? Or are we so sick of political correctness that nothing can be said to the left, even if it is true?”
In an interview with La Nación, the President minimized the crossing and He compared it to the dispute with Pedro Sánchez. “It’s such a small discussion; it seems like a discussion between children, pre-adolescents. It’s the same mechanism as Petro, Sánchez,” she pointed out. ç
And he asked: “Don’t you think that Lula and Petro did similar things? In the case of Lula actively interfering in our electoral campaign? Sánchez also demanded that he be apologized to. Petro also demanded that he be apologized to.”
