she laughs at those “nonsense”

Practicing Catholic and daughter, granddaughter and niece of uniformed men, she represents the so-called ‘military family’, a member of Argentina’s political right, which during the 20th century perpetrated six coups d’état, overthrowing Peronist – left-wing populist – and radical – center – governments.

The votes of that ‘military family’ total 1.1 million. They were decisive in the ‘sorpasso’ that the Milei-Villarruel electoral pair delivered in 2023, against all odds, to the Peronist formula, Sergio Massa-Agustín Rossi, who had won the first round.

The Milei and Villarruel political partnership culminated in that unprecedented success. She came from the Democratic party and never joined the official La Libertad Avanza party. However, it became the right wing of the Milei Government, who claimed to be anarcocapitalista y I dreamed of destroying the State.

Two years later, the disagreements of this ‘marriage of convenience’ come to light. The nationalist stance of Villarruel, defender of Argentina’s claim to the Malvinas Islands, comes face to face with Milei’s diplomatic drift towards the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel.

“This agreement only makes the occupation of our islands by the British more profitable,” he said about an agreement with London. He also visited Pope Francis I in the Vatican and in Madrid the former Argentine president, María Martínez, widow of Perón, two ‘black beasts’ for Milei.

Villarruel has also criticized the removal of tariffs, which hampers the local industry. “The total and free opening of imports – he said – only favors dependence on China and deepens economic and social emergencies. Without national employment and without national production there are no real government policies.”

After the disagreements, the president unleashed his angry language against her. He called her “traitor brute” because he wanted to improve salaries in the Senate. and even He called her a coup plotter for “dreaming of the Rivadavia chair”, that is, ejecting herself from the presidential throne to occupy it herself.

Villarruel is prohibited from participating in the councils of ministers in the Casa Rosada, although he is entitled to do so due to his high position. In these meetings, according to the Argentine press, the president rehearses a play on words with the surname of his number two and mocks her by calling her “cruel fagot”.

In the same line of attacks, Luis Petri, former Minister of Defense, current pro-government deputy, added his voice to the president’s criticism against his second because he is betting, he said, “on the failure of the Government” and is offering himself to the opposition as “an alternative” to Milei.

For his part, the Chief of Ministers, Manuel Adorni, assured that Villarruel no longer “makes decisions and is not part of the” governmental management because, he added, “it does not coincide with our interests.” “There is no chance of having a relationship with her again,” he said.

After enduring these beatings, the vice president reacted by making catharsis on the social network “X.” First he described “the accusation of a coup made by the president” as “serious” and then warned that “He says this nonsense and does not provide a single piece of evidence. of his statements.”

Regarding Petri, she went further and mocked him by calling him a “gossip neighbor” for the comments he made about her. And he recalled that the official leader “I know him from the ‘cosplays’ and the little trains of joy (dancing in a row, held at the waist) with President Milei.”

Villarruel warned that he does not plan to resign and will continue in his duties until the end: “They want my resignation. But it’s not going to be given to them.”. On December 10, 2027, until that date I honestly occupy my position. “Whoever doesn’t like it, votes for what they want in the next round,” he shot.

Next year there will be presidential elections and Milei will probably be a candidate for re-election. According to the Argentine press, Villarruel does not believe he will win because in 2023, he maintained, “they elected him but the sister (Karina) governs,” to whom the president entrusts the management and calls “the Boss.”

Meanwhile, the vice president sometimes meets in secret with opposition leaders and poses an individual electoral adventure for 2027. They ask her if she aspires to be presidential in alliance with a Peronist to which, smiling, she asks: “And why not?”
