Buenos AiresWhile President Javier Milei was inaugurating the Third Regional Meeting of the Madrid-Río de la Plata Forum 2024, which brings together the top representatives of the international far right at the Libertad Palace – formerly the Néstor Kirchner Cultural Center – the leader of the Rural Society Nicolás Pino received a low-power package bomb and four people had to be taken to a hospital as a precaution for having inhaled the white smoke from the detonation.
The investigation is considering two hypotheses: it could be the result of an internal dispute within the powerful Rural Society or some possible revenge or warning from a dismissed employee.
On the other hand, the ruling party did not provide a quorum for a key debate in Congress regarding the financing of universities and education in general, which was even the origin of a march by one of the unions on this day. The ruling party and “dialoguing” deputies did not come to prevent a mass march from taking place, which would dismantle the ruling party’s discourse La Libertad Avanza (LLA) at the most critical moment, in all aspects, that the country is experiencing and which Milei describes as “the Argentine miracle” to the visitors.
Among them is Santiago Abascal, who decided to hold the rally in this capital, where for the first time a sitting far-right president was at the head. Also present are former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and other top figures of the far right from 15 countries, who are looking to support “the people of Venezuela.”
Among the guests is Venezuelan Alejandro Peña Esclusa, who chaired the UnoAmérica Foundation created by the fascist military of Colombia in December 2008 and their friends from the past military dictatorships in Latin America, as a terrorist transnational to “end the governments of the Sao Paulo Forum.”
Peña Esclusa was decorated by former Honduran coup president Roberto Micheletti for collaborating with his mercenaries in the coup against former ruler Manuel Zelaya in 2009.
First, Santiago Abascal, the leader of Vox, welcomed the attendees, followed by Mile, who will also sign the so-called Madrid Charter with the agreements to work against what they call “the advance of communism.”
Javier Milei said that they are willing to do anything to end “the tragedy that was this last era of Argentine humiliation,” and criticized and blamed all the “evils” on Kirchnerism, socialism and left-wing leaders around the world “because Argentina needs to be restored.”
The room was hit by Bolsonaro’s coup supporters, who have taken refuge here under Milei’s protection and who were wearing t-shirts calling for the release of “political prisoners”, as they call those who attempted a coup against President Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva and caused severe damage to the presidential house, Congress and others.
Of course, Milei harshly criticized the ban on the social network X, by his “friend” Elon Musk and against the ruling of the Supreme Court of Brazil, which blocked that network throughout the Amazonian country. “Only a tyrant who has been wrong about everything” can “endorse such an act of oppression,” said the Argentine president.
He added that “right now Brazil is banning X, which is nothing other than the public arena, where people could freely express themselves. Here, many people are salivating at the thought of replicating the ban.” His words could create a diplomatic situation similar to what happened with the Spanish president Pedro Sánchez and his wife Begoña Gómez, which led to the withdrawal of their ambassador from Buenos Aires.
