The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, said this Monday that he seeks to throw out “all” those involved in the decision to vote in favor of Cuba in the UN from within the Foreign Ministry, after beheading it, because they are “traitors to the country.”
“Foreign policy is set by the president,” said Milei on the Ciudad Magazine channel, where he was interviewed by his girlfriend, Amalia ‘Yuyito’ González, so “I am here to fire all the people involved in that decision. They are directly traitors to the country. “We are looking at the legal format by which to kick them out and make them pay.”
On Wednesday of last week, Argentina joined 186 other States in the UN General Assembly to form an overwhelming majority that determined the approval of a resolution without binding effects against the US sanctions on Cuba, which are already prolonged. for 62 years and have been a serious blow to the island’s economy.
The Argentine vote did not represent any change with respect to how the South American country had expressed itself in previous assemblies regarding the same resolution.
But Milei, who took office on December 10, 2023, defined that his Government’s foreign policy be aligned with the United States and Israel, the only two countries that rejected the UN resolution.
The Argentine vote at the UN, contrary to Milei’s wishes, triggered the replacement of the then chancellor, Diana Mondino, by the former ambassador to the US, Gerardo Werthein, who will take office this Monday at 6:30 p.m. local time (9:30 p.m. 30 GMT) as the new Minister of Foreign Affairs.
“Not only did that cost Mondino his job, but we are doing a job where all those responsible for this are going to be sued and fired,” Milei said in the interview.
“I understand that they are in love with the international bureaucracy” and “they live a parasitic life,” said the president regarding the Foreign Ministry staff, and he blamed the “woke” agenda and the UN’s 2030 agenda, which wants ” advance against individual freedoms.
«You can’t go vote for anything because you think so. If you want to vote what you want, you have to win the elections,” Milei said.
In confirming Mondino’s departure, a statement from the President’s Office had asserted that Argentina “categorically opposes the Cuban dictatorship and will remain firm in promoting a foreign policy that condemns all regimes that perpetuate the violation of human rights.” humans and individual freedoms.
He also reported the start of an audit among career diplomats to “identify drivers of agendas inimical to freedom.” EFE
