Argentine President Javier Milei had made a point of traveling only on commercial flights for the sake of exemplarity and budgetary austerity. Milei will ultimately have to travel with the presidential plane, for reasons of “security,’ the presidency announced.
The president had notably trumpeted, on the occasion of the Davos Forum, that the decision to travel by airliner had made it possible to “save some 392,000 dollars.’ “There is no money, but we must take care of the president, declared Security Minister Patricia Bullrich, commenting on the decision on the LN+ channel. The ultraliberal president should a priori use the Boeing, said the president’s spokesman, Manuel Adorni, without further details. The head of state traveled on a commercial flight, with a select committee, not failing to publish on his X account photos of himself on the devices, greeted or applauded by passengers. He has been administering shock therapy of austerity to the Argentine economy, pathologically indebted and inflationary, for three months.
