In the midst of the scandal originated from the promotion that Javier Milei gave to an alleged fraudulent cryptocurren past.
In the fragment you can see how an advisor interrupts the Argentine president to prevent him from saying something compromising in judicial matters for the “cryptophyse”.
Shortly after the transmission of the television interview, the cut images were disseminated Monday night on the social network X. In them, Milei is questioned by the promotion he made to the cryptocurrency $ Libra through their social networks, what which resulted in a journalist’s recognition that this could lead to a judicial problem.
Milei defends himself of “cryptophyse”; It was his “personal account”
While the interviewer insisted that Milei is president, the latter resulted in that he did it as a citizen from his personal account. At that time, advisor Santiago Caputo interrupted the interview.
“I return to $ Libra to close. The judge who will investigate is (María) Servini. Is the state to make a spontaneous presentation? Are you going to present yourself? Is the state lawyer going to be presented?” Asked the journalist From the TN chain Jonatan Viale to Milei.
“The truth, the legal issues are not mine. It would be reckless of me that anticipates this. The one that best understands of the issue is our Minister of Justice, Mariano Cúneo Libarona,” replies the president.
Given the answer, the journalist insisted that Milei participated in the promotion of cryptodivisa as president, but the president defended himself by stating that he was his “personal account.”
In fact, the journalist told him that effectively in his personal account he announced as an economist but he is actually president.
In the midst of that exchange, Caputo interrupted the interview and spoke to Milei, and then ask the journalist to repeat the question.
“I understand. I realize. You can bring a judicial quilombo”admitted Viale.
The presidential spokesman, Manuel Adorni, clarified on Tuesday that “there was nothing wrong” in addressing the judicial issue and that Caputo interrupted the interview because the president’s response could create “confusion.”
“Wrong in my opinion and from the president, Santiago Caputo cuts the interview, there was nothing wrong, he noticed that he could give confusion to some part of the audience and decided to cut the note”said adorni to channel A24.
Regarding the cut disseminated in X, the spokesman considered that it is “the game of the damage they want to do on the other side.”
“Everyone knows that the president does not suggest a single question or a single issue; he sits, listens to the questions and answers them. I was in all the president’s interviews and the dynamics are always the same,” said Adorni, who also stressed that Milei claimed Caputo that his intervention had been “unnecessary.”
The presidential spokesman tried to justify a situation that has raised a great controversy in Argentina, just when the government of Javier Milei crosses an important crisis in the case of the $ LIBRA cryptocurrency, which was promoted by the president on February 14 in his X account, before collapsing.
Thousands of investors denounced to have failed to that asset after the initial message of the president, which was deleted shortly after and followed by another withdrawing his support for the project, with which he said he had no link or be internalized of his details.
