Milei’s announcement comes one day after the heated television debate between the two candidates for government of the South American country for the period 2023-2027.

“As the entire apparatus plays in favor of Massa, they changed the format of the debate to align with Massa. Within his team he had a group of psychologists who looked for points to attack me throughout the debate.“he commented Javier Milei.

“Making a file (disclosing sensitive data about a person) shows how shady Sergio Massa was, that information was private. I did an internship at the Central Bank for six months and they didn’t renew it”Milei stated. “I was an Economics student and I didn’t like the tasks that had been assigned to me and the people who had to have me in the area didn’t want me to do other types of tasks.”.
