Javier Milei, the president of Argentina is involved in the controversy after the promotion of Token “$ Libra”,A digital currency that has collapsed and apparently affected 44,0000 investors. Last Friday afternoon, Milei published on the social network X: “This private project will be dedicated to encourage the growth of the Argentine economy, anchoring small companies and Argentine enterprises. The world wants to invest in Argentina.” In that same message, The Argentine president included the link in the publication: vivalibertadprojet.com and now tries to separate himself from it.
The truth is that the Argentine president has 3.8 million followers and the controversial link he shared ‘Long live the Project’ Its objective was the promotion of $ Libra, a cryptocurrency that, according to Milei, was going to boost entrepreneurs and small businesses in Argentina. However, at 4 hours of its publication this cryptocurrency collapsed.
“I did not promote it, I spread it”
As has happened with the collapse of another type of cryptocurrencies, this Token lacked the support of the real economy and was a meme currency. Now Milei dodges any type of responsibility and has assured all news (TN) on the channel, of which he was a collaborator before occupying the Casa Rosada, which did not promote the project but, on the contrary, only disseminated this investment opportunity. Similarly, the ultra -liberal denies that there are 44,000 victims and ensures that the probability that there are Argentines among them, “is remote.”
Milei finally decided to delete the message in X and has assured the Argentine television channel TN that in the face of the constant negative messages of the users and as he says, even false messages like that they were making accounts to the users, he decided to eliminate it.
The opposition asks for a political trial
Now the opposition in Parliament, Union for Ptria (UXP) has already announced that it will submit a request for “opening of political trial” against the leader of the Casa Rosada for the “enormous gravity” and “unprecedented scandal” of Milei. For now Javier Milei has the support of his government, except for the Minister of Social Security, Patricia Bullrich who has pronounced and ensures that ‘cryptogate’ is a maneuver to discredit the president.
