Javier Milei said that those who criticize his continuous trips abroad are “short-sighted” and “inferior beings” and that “if they criticized Moisés, how can they not criticize me?”
“When the Hebrew people had already left Egypt, and having received miracles daily, when Moses got up early they criticized him because he must have gotten up early because he was fighting with the woman. If he got up late they said he was lazy, and if he I woke up o’clock, they said I had nothing to do,” Milei told Radio Miter.
“What I want to say is that if Moses, who was the greatest liberator in the entire history of humanity, was criticized all the time for such achievements, they can tell me whatever they want. If they criticized him to Moisés, how can they not criticize me?” he said.
The President arrived this Sunday from another tour of the United States, where he met with Google authorities and Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, and in El Salvador, where he traveled to attend the inauguration of Nayib Bukele. “An Argentine president did not have meetings of this caliber at least from the 20th century onwards,” he said.
“I meet with one and then I have to meet the tiny vision of the Lilliputians. They make me feel sorry for them. They don’t have the height of any characteristic to be able to understand the magnitude of what I am doing. They criticize because they are short-sighted, tiny beings, they don’t understand the logic of what is happening. What do you want me to do to you?” he said.
Since taking office as president, Milei has traveled abroad more than twice as many times as inside the country. After spending 10 days of the last fortnight outside Argentina, he will leave again to travel to Italy and France in mid-June.
