Argentine President Javier Milei attacked journalists Jorge Fernández, Joaquín Morales Sola and Jorge Fontevecchia last week. Journalist Jaime Bayly, who had supported and celebrated the victory of Milei in the last elections, criticized the President for his ways.
"His manners seem very deplorable to me," he said. The Peruvian also defended Jorge Fontevecchie, despite some differences that both characters had in the past. "It doesn't seem right to me that Milei asks or celebrates or gets excited prematurely by celebrating that the Perfil publishing house is going to go bankrupt," Bayly said. He stressed that he supported his management and his economic ideas, but that it was "critical support" and not a "fansatical support" for Milei, who he called an "imbecile" and an "ignorant" man. He said Milei had said some inflammatory, petty, completely unacceptable things against another columnist of the Nation.
