Front and back

President Javier Milei has laid off 50,000 public employees, most of whom were parasitic bureaucracies, while also demonstrating excellent management indicators in his year and seven months in office, a period in which he reduced poverty from 53% to 34.7%; monthly inflation fell from 25.5% to 1.5%, a figure that contrasts with the 12.8% inherited from the Peronist regime; GDP grew 5.8% annually in the first quarter of this year; foreign investment returned, while the government easily issued $1 billion in bonds and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) granted a $20 billion loan in recognition of good government practices.

In this context, Argentine journalist Gustavo González published an article in the newspaper "Perfil" entitled "Milei Pathology," recalling some of the president's crackling remarks from the last week in two speeches. One before business leaders from the Puerto Madero Yacht Club and the other at a conference in La Plata. In both events, Milei used (and abused) his razor-sharp chainsaw, hurling the following insults: "five mental parasites, four idiots, plus one idiot, three thieves, three brutes, two baboons, two liars, two imbeciles, two asses, two rats, two stupidities, two eunuchs, two filthy people, two filthy people, two depraved people; and one orc, idiot, con man, genocidal, unpresentable, shameless, bastard, sleazy, infected, shitters, garbage, nefarious, and asses without attributes."

The writer adds: "There were 51 insults in total. The duration of the two speeches was 106 minutes (including the time for applause and other distractions), at a rate of almost one insult every two minutes."

Gustavo González, author of two books about the extravagant head of state - "The Madman" and "The Forces of Heaven" - recalls that at the age of 11 he experienced a mystical episode, "when his father was hitting him and a ray of light fell on his sister, a very powerful image [that] adds to the worrying tendency of the president to heal his critics, associating them with animals such as rats, cockroaches and baboons."

The writer attributes this discursive brutality to the fact that "he believes he has received directly from God the mission to save the planet from the "evil one", with the help of his sister Karina, who is the reincarnation of Moses and his dog Conan, who acts, according to the brothers, as a celestial intermediary with the "One".

He calls Karina The Boss and maintains that "there is no human being in the universe like Karina. She is everything. Without her, nothing would have been possible. Some idiots say "I voted for Javier, not Karina"; they don't understand how this works. Without Karina, neither Libertad Avanza—her political party—nor the provincial council, nor anything would exist."

An analysis of the cited pedestrian speeches reveals the incitement of hatred toward his critics, whom he calls "corrupt," "miserable," "resentful," "satraps," "henchmen," and "phonies." The communications department at Austral University recorded more than a thousand insults to politicians, journalists, and economists during his 14-month administration.

For its part, the newspaper "La Nación" recorded 4,000 derogatory expressions in 130 speeches and interviews.

Milei also describes his administration as "the best in history" and says that his cabinet is made up of "giants and colossi who have demonstrated to the world the great transformation we undertook in a patriotic feat," adding, not very modestly, in the style of Donald Trump, that "we are the first government that has kept all its promises, capable of teaching a lesson in macroeconomics at a global level, that has made the largest adjustment in the history of humanity and the largest structural reforms in history." No one can predict how this story will end, where obverse and reverse merge, but they can also collide or transform into the Hegelian dialectical triad: thesis, antithesis, synthesis... and from there to infinity.

In this context, it's important to highlight Milei's clear and forceful foreign policy regarding the hemisphere's dictatorships. He did not invite Cuba, Nicaragua, or Venezuela to the inauguration ceremony and subsequently closed his embassies in those countries.

He called Maduro a "murderous criminal dictator," adding that "the communists are attacking us, filled with insolvency and ruthlessness, to exterminate us, our wives, and our children, so they can seize our spoils."

There are no concessions on this issue, to the point that he dismissed Foreign Minister Diana Mondino after she voted in the United Nations for a resolution against the US embargo on Cuba.
