The novel of the narcomopolitics reached its end. This Sunday night, José Luis Espert announced that he was lowered as a candidate for national deputy for elections in the province of Buenos Aires. In a message posted on networks, he said: “I made my resignation to the candidacy for national deputy for the province of Buenos Aires and President Javier Milei decided to accept it.”
Repeating a libretto that nobody believes, he denounced “a clearly orchestrated operation by a system that destroyed Argentina for decades and sustained by a ruthless media judgment towards my person, which I will not continue to lend me.” In addition, in a passage that must be read as a criticism of the ruling party, he added “to the leaders and companions of La Libertad Avanza I tell them: they do not leave psychopath. The explanations that are missing will be given in due time and where it corresponds.”
Thursday night, in an recorded message, Espert had confirmed that he received the USD 200,000 by a company linked to businessman Narco Fred Machado. The next day, after an emergency meeting with President Milei in Fifth of Olivos, he had ratified his continuity, backed by the president. Now, within the framework of a crisis that scale, he had to step aside.
Minutes later, it was Javier Milei who spoke on the subject in networks. Retweeching the message of sister wrote: “We will not allow a malicious operation to put it at risk. This is a cause to change the country. Argentina is always above people.” Now, the ruling will try to change the agenda. Everything indicates that the list in PBA would be headed by Diego Santilli, who is part of those who joined the pro to freedom progress.
This decision deepens the National Government Crisiswhich is politically beaten by the result of the elections of September 7 and by the huge tensions of an economy that cannot be handled. That defeat expresses a growing social rejection of adjustment policies which implemented Milei, with the endorsement of radicals, macristas and the governors, given the open complicity of the CGT.
The complaint against sister
Complaints against Espert have been known since 2019, when Fred Machado financing from his presidential campaign, which ended in a resounding failure. The political complaint was raised on several occasions from different sectors. Among those who did is The Left Unit Front.
It was this force that, at the beginning of 2024, stated that Espert could not preside over the Budget Commission of the Chamber of Deputies. At that time, the deputies and deputies on the left presented an order that was disassembled. This week they insisted again with that demand.
