First, it was caste: in politics It is important to identify the culprit from the enemy of evil and Javier Milei was right from the start when he accused the entire system of being the villain of the film in which only he was not involved. The public bought.
Then the enemies began to multiply. They appeared Econochantas, mandrills, wrapped. Congress was a rat’s nest; the governors, degenerate prosecutors and everyone described as left-handed and communist in a kind of born-again McCarthyism.
They joined Lali “Depósito” in equal marriage, which the president advocated. absurd and dangerous to equate with pedophilia.
The insults – always with a particular tendency towards homophobia or in connection with anal sex without consent – increased, but with the desire to find opponents, according to Milei He made a big mistake in the forms and in many cases in content, such as when he managed to get a crowd to march in defense of the public university on April 23, 2024.
He swore so much and so rudely In the end, he realized that no one found it funny anymore.. On August 5, he promised to stop insulting and announced a change.
He did well: his new attitude was certainly one of the factors that contributed to the government’s broad victory in the October 26 parliamentary elections. For many it was easier to digest this way. During the election campaign he targeted a single enemy, Kirchnerism, embodied in particular in the convicted Cristina Kirchner and the governor Axel Kicillof.
After the positive results, the President has certainly noted the benefits On the opposite sidewalk, place rivals whose discredit will abound. A strategy that finds its maximum expression in the current central targets of the ruling party’s hostility: the CGT and Chiqui Tapia, who are fighting little by little for the top of the lists that reflect the greatest discredit.
In the case of the head of the AFA, the milleists’ guns were trained on him after the football leader himself crossed one of those imperceptible boundaries that society sets by awarding Rosario Central a championship title after the fact and was buried in deep misconduct with no way out.
Milei joined in almost shyly at first, adding an Estudiantes de la Plata T-shirt to a photo in his office in La Rosada. But seeing Tapia and his friends become part of the public ridicule unleashed a flood of complaints and revelations about shady dealings that still haven’t stopped.
The situation is different with the union leaders. First, because the collision course was set, as labor reform was always on the president’s horizon. Secondly, because the trade unionists have been living with discredit for decadeswhich does not prevent them from continuing their positions: many of them were the same ones who negotiated labor flexibility during the Carlos Menem years and generally prefer to avoid a frontal fight.
This does not mean that there will be a satisfied smile on the president’s lips this Thursday when the image of the old Cegetista leaders, the K and the Left, marching to Congress takes over the screens of the channels and news portals.
Every sentence that a union member utters against him It becomes a medal in your favor. Almost the same as any title that exposes a new layer of dirt in the football business.
Ultimately, it’s not about being perfect, it’s just about appearing better than your rival.
