“Milei goes for the repeal of the Constitution”said after several months of silence, the leader of the Civic Coalition, Elisa Carrion Lilita once again became present in the public sphere to question the management of the libertarian government and talk about his own professional journey. His statements are given amid controversy over senators’ decision to double their salariesa measure that generated strong criticism from public opinion.
Elisa Carrió, Milei and the role of the State
In an extensive interview he gave to InfobaeCarrió said that he read one of the anarcho-capitalist guides that inspires the President and admitted that he believes that the State must be reformed: Murray Rothbard. “Milei does not believe in any State, because he believes that all taxation is theft…With which this criminal association became a criminal association that stole money from the people, that with this it made streets, that with this it conquered land, and made it public land, when in reality all unproduced land can be appropriated anyone, and this criminal association established a monopoly on force. Consequently, for there to be freedom the great combat is the annihilation of the state“, explained the former deputy about the “anarcho-capitalist thinking that the president has.”
Authoritarians don’t like this
The practice of professional and critical journalism is a fundamental pillar of democracy. That is why it bothers those who believe they are the owners of the truth.
The backstage of how the salary increase for senators was created and Milei’s “pour la galerie” reaction
Along these lines he continued: “He (Milei) is going for the repeal of the Constitution, because if you are an anarcho-capitalist you don’t have to have a State. That is to say, You have to have popular support to change the Constitution and to repeal it, that is the cultural struggle”; and he completed: “That is his utopia.”
“We have to shrink them, change the quality of education, I agree with everything,” said Carrió, although he added that “if a State disappears and the great powers are at war, Your territory is going to be taken over through private investments by those states that are at warwhether it’s USAwhether it’s Chinawhether it’s Russia. You become no man’s land.”
In turn, the head of the CC pointed out that the process led by Milei has “the methodology of abuse, stigmatization, self-censorship, of getting angry with journalists,” for which she stated that “delegated powers should never be given to anyone, because they end in corruption”. “The question is where are we going? To go to anarchism you have to become a dictator“, said Carrió, who explained that Milei would be “a popular dictator, not a populist, popular, he says, to then annihilate the State, and that the streets are private, that there is no public education, this is said perfectly (Bertie) Benegas Lynch.”
Luis Juez, on fire for the increase in senators: “They said ‘I deserve to win like Adorni’, that is the argument
“Even if this model is successful, I do not want it for humanity, I don’t believe in the idolatry of the dollarI believe that there are enormous contradictions in capitalism, I believe that there is no other system, I am democratic, I am republican, I believe in human rights as natural rightsbut in all human rights, not on property rights“, noted the former deputy and exemplified: “He (Milei) says ‘I am the exclusive owner of what I think’, so you can tell the other anything. No. There are no insults, there are no slanders. Deep down, what is happening is very Argentine, in some ways very Maradonian, it is without rules, it is what it gives”.
The scandal over the increase in allowances in the Senate
In another part of the conversation, Carrió considered that he does not agree “with doubling the salaries of senators, but I do agree with guaranteeing that they are hooked to category 1 of the chamber, of employees.” “A deputy cannot earn less than an advisor, or a director, with 25 years of service and title. He can not. Today he doubles it.”
On the other hand, Carrió also referred to the Secretary General of the Presidency and the President’s sister, Karina Milei, about whom he stated: “I don’t know her, and when I don’t know someone, one knows people by their actions, he began to act out”. “He (Milei) is a great actor on the national scene, he is a showman, a spectacular avatar, he can fool everyone. He is a rockstar.”
