Javier Milei embroiled in corruption scandal tying his sister to alleged bribes
fork found in kitchen
This is like his 3rd blatant corruption scandal in 3 years. Par for the course in Argentina
It’s part of propaganda campaigns to smear competing politicians, I’d have to know more about Argentinian politics before making any conclusions.
Milliex is a smoothbrained corrupt clown second only to Donald Trump and that despot in El Salvador.
A smear is normally "hey this guy looks shady and HATES children", not "we evidence of your sister (the secretary general) on tape routinely accepting kickbacks for government contracts".
FYI his sister is a government official because Milei specifically removed a law that barred family members from being appointed to such positions.

What's the opposition look like in Argentina?
In the US, our president is putting to the test how corrupt you can be when you don't face a credible opposition. As awful as corruption is, getting caught stealing from your citizens doesn't threaten one's power unless there's an appealing political alternative.
Awfully bad... Cristina Fernández (opposition leader) is jailed in her appartment. She got a 10th of what she deserved. Fuckibg lunatic draw us all into this to shield her ass from the fucking law. Alberto Fernandez (ex president) is a political corpse because of his management of the pandemic AND a reason of a major scism in the opposition because of (apparently) beating his wife. Sergio Massa (ex economy minister and 2023 presidential candidate) is working in the USA for a vulture fund (good thing, he will probably make them bankrupt). He is shaddy as fuck. Daniel Scioli (2015 presidential candidate) is working for Milei. Both presidential candidates (2023) of the other major opposition party (now in ruins) are with Milei as well. Máximo Krichner (Cristina's son) is driving a silent battle against the only peronist in an actual place of power (axel Kicilof). Both idiots that always rnd up attracting more hate than support to their party.
From there on, there are only number 3s and lower.
In my province, the first senator candidate from the opposition is honestly not that bad compared to everyone i mentioned, but he practically destroyed circulation in my city. And the third deputy candidate is known for being a narco.
Also, candidates in this ellection are not gonna take the seats they are being ellected for: nobody knows who the fuck are the ones on the list, so they use known political figures. If ellected, they are expected to resign so someone nobody knows takes the place.
Milei's party isn't in a better shape. All "major political figures" ended up breaking up with Milei. That includes die Kanzlerin, the vicepresident amd the chief of secretaries*.
The best thing that could happen to us now is the final disintegration of the opposition and new and fresh political spaces. But neither of those things will happen. We have nepotism and corruption durch und durch, left to right.
As things are now poverty is in it's lowest since ~2019 (from 50% to 30%) and inflation is going down (from 10% monthly to 2% now). It will blow up eventually... but this ellection is probably going to be a big win for this psychopath, addict and zionist of Milei. Maybe we learn something in the process?
We deserve all that happens to us.
Oof. That's bleak. Thanks for sharing, though.
There is none, the only opposition is the kirchnerismo that is facing a power vacuum after the leader, Cristina Kirchner, was forbidden to participate in further elections due to corruption. Her son and the governor of the biggest province are duking it out with no end in sight.
It’s always the ones you expect the most.
