The video of Javier Milei singing 'Libre' by Nino Bravo in Israel receives criticism

The Argentine president, Javier Milei, has made an official visit to Israel, his third visit in two years of office. But, during her stay in the country, one of the most talked about moments on social networks has been at the Israeli Independence Day event, since Milei joined two singers on stage to perform the song ‘Libre’ by Nino Bravo. A situation that has generated numerous reactions from users.

The episode has caused a wave of criticism of the president from Argentine users. Some showing a feeling of disagreement, questioning their support at the polls; others calling Milei a “jester” or “clown” and, many others, questioning the president’s musical gifts.

A visit with several ‘tourist’ stops

Javier Milei’s first stop was at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem, the most sacred place for the Jewish religion. Religion to which the Argentine president is in the process of converting.

During this visit he also met with the Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and the President, Isaac Herzog, in addition to attending the aforementioned Israeli Independence Day events. After being awarded Israel’s presidential medal of honor, Milei took advantage of one of his interventions to attack his recurring targets: the press and the left.
