Javier Milei Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Javier Milei’s past few days have been a political rollercoaster marked by accusations, high-level diplomacy, and much media buzz. Top international headlines broke just hours ago after a 200-page Argentine congressional report directly accused Milei and his sister Karina of orchestrating a “textbook rug pull” involving the cryptocurrency LIBRA. This report alleges that thousands of investors lost millions after Milei promoted the token on social media, only for liquidity to vanish overnight. Congressional investigators detailed multiple meetings between Milei and key architects of the scheme and suggested he used presidential prestige to validate the project. According to the Buenos Aires Times and El País, this controversy may not be isolated, as similar patterns emerged around Milei’s earlier endorsements of digital assets like KIP and tie-ins to platforms Vulcano and CoinX. The President has vigorously denied misconduct, arguing he was merely “helping an Argentine” and sharing projects in good faith, but he has faced growing scrutiny and a class-action lawsuit filed in New York. Social media has been ablaze since the scandal resurfaced with critics and supporters fiercely debating Milei’s advocacy for tech optimism as the line between champion and enabler blurs.
Meanwhile, Milei made significant foreign policy moves at the G20 summit in South Africa, where Argentina refused to endorse the final communiqué, citing disagreement over Middle East diplomacy and a breach of consensus. This bold diplomatic posture echoed his recent realignment toward the US and Israel—Milei calling these nations “pillars” of his administration. In Buenos Aires, he publicly denounced “21st-century socialism” for Latin America’s economic woes, championed upcoming fiscal, currency, and tax reforms, and depicted Argentina as the “world’s freest country” primed for foreign investment.
On the business front, Milei’s privatization drive picked up steam as the administration advanced plans to sell off state holdings in the energy, airport, and water sectors with congressional backing, a move likely to define his economic legacy if successful. At home, he has shaken up the defense leadership, returning control to the military after decades of civilian oversight in another signal of his uncompromising style.
Milei’s social media remains active. He celebrated a rare fiscal surplus, hailing it as a triumph over “populist vices,” and congratulated Chilean far-right candidate José Antonio Kast, posting their call online. Notably, his critics voiced concern at the OAS headquarters in Miami about press intimidation and attacks on media freedoms linked to his administration, a story gaining global traction.
Finally, in a lighter moment, Milei previewed another US trip for next month’s World Cup draw, marking his fifteenth visit in under two years and possibly to sign a trade deal with President Trump. With court cases looming and Congress due to swear in a new pro-Milei majority, these days could shape the defining chapters of his biography.
