In a statement released on social networks, they point out that Massa “represents the continuity of a failed economic model and institutions that, instead of allowing Argentina to grow, have maintained permanent stagnation for decades. Massa represents the continuity of this sad situation.” In front of him, Milei is “the only way out for Argentina is with political and economic freedom, respect for the rule of law and private property, and with the rules of the game of liberal democracy, the social market economy, social justice and modernity.” “.
Soccer player and rocker
His journey on the Argentine political board has been very fast. The candidate, 53 years old, a Buenos Aires native from Palermo, has found in his sister, Karina Milei, his great support and her great advisor in the presidential race. Soccer player and rocker, Milei began his career as a soccer player in Chacarita. An unconditional fan of Mick Jagger and the Rolling Stones, this far-right libertarian liberal has confessed that he has seen his satanic majesties in concert 14 times, according to CNN. On his way to the Casa Rosada he shares his life with his dancer girlfriend Fatima Florez. Both attended the set of The Night of Mirtha Legrand (the queen of Argentine television), however analysts and communication experts developed the thesis that there was a montage insinuating that the candidate and the actress are not in a relationship.
