During his first hours in Italy, President Javier Milei took the opportunity to visit the Colosseum in Rome with his sister Karina, the Secretary General of the Presidency, with the aim of "expending energy" to be able to sleep and counteract the jet lag, which did not It is nothing more than a jet lag disorder that causes a temporary sleep problem.
"We arrived late and because of the jet lag we needed to do something to use up more energy and be able to sleep. So,
we decided to go to the Coliseum to finish getting tired
and thus be able to sleep," Milei said.
During an interview with radio
Miter
, the libertarian detailed: "With the issue of the activities in Buenos Aires and the time difference with Israel, it made me sleep 3 hours a day."
The head of state confirmed that he moved from the Argentine embassy to a hotel because the air conditioning did not work.
"It's true. Human capital also has its flaws, especially as the years go by," he commented with a laugh.
Although Milei and her sister had to stay in the embassy building, a palace in front of the imposing basilica of Santa María La Mayor where Evita Perón slept in 1947, they finally chose to do so in a hotel on the prestigious Vía Véneto .
In line with the libertarian's popular phrase about "there is no money," the president and his sister were going to use the facilities in the old palace that Argentina owns in Rome, but not feeling comfortable, they chose to move to a hotel, even though the expenses will be in euros.
With the aim of undertaking his second stop of the trip, the President departed Israel this Friday on a commercial flight of El Al Israel Airlines (LY-383), at 11:45 local time (6:15 in Argentina) and arrived at Fiumicino airport in the Italian capital at 2:30 p.m. (10:30 a.m. in Buenos Aires).
In Rome, the delegation that left Buenos Aires last Monday, including Karina Milei, Foreign Minister Diana Mondino and the designated ambassador to the State of Israel, Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish, grew larger.
Ministers Guillermo Francos (Interior) and Sandra Pettovello (Human Capital) joined there.
During his first free afternoon in the Italian capital, Javier Milei rested for a few hours and then visited the Coliseum with his sister, without the presence of tourists, as the head of state himself announced through a post on his Instagram account. .

Milei's official agenda in Rome will begin this Sunday when he participates in the canonization of the first Argentine saint, María Antonia de San José Paz y Figueroa, known as "Mama Antula", in a mass in the Vatican's St. Peter's Basilica from 9.30 from Rome (5.30 from Argentina)
It will be then that Milei and the Argentine pope, whom during the campaign he called "the representative of evil on Earth", will maintain first contact, with a greeting before the ceremony.
The president will be accompanied by his sister, his Foreign Minister, Diana Mondino;
the head of the Interior, Guillermo Francos;
that of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello;
the Secretary of Worship, Francisco Sánchez, and the ambassador to Israel, Axel Wahnish.
However, the moment that generates the greatest expectation will take place on Monday, when Francisco receives President Milei in a private audience at 9 a.m. in Rome (5 a.m. in Argentina) and then will also greet the delegation accompanying the head of state.
