Before the Office of the President issued an official statement and even prior to the first appearance of a national official on TV, Javier Milei himself was in charge of responding to Ignacio Torres, governor of Chubut, after the claim for joint funds and the warning that he will not remove "not one more barrel" of oil from that province.
And true to his ways, the head of the national Executive did so with a
flood of retweets and memes
, with which he branded Torres as "Chavista" and distributed insults and accusations to other political actors.
Shortly after 6:45 p.m., Milei replied to the first post about the last chapter of his confrontation with Chubut and the rest of the provinces.
The tweet was signed by one of his favorite accounts, that of the user "Austrian School of Economics."
"Breaking news, Chubut is the only place in the world that has oil and threatens to cut off the supply. Don't worry, cut off the supply and the market will do its job.
Good luck with that fart threat
," said that user and, at the same time, President.
It was not Milei's only defense.
It was, in reality, the
starting signal
for a barrage of retweets.
The Twitter messages that Javier Milei retweeted against the governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres.
"I didn't know that Nacho Torres was the owner of YPF, TECPETROL, PAE, VISTA, CHEVRON. Or are you telling me that the governor of Chubut is about to expropriate all these companies?" asked another user who shared the President.
But stronger than those words was the image that illustrated the message: a
photoshopped photograph of Hugo Chávez
, with Torres' face and the red legend "Expropiese yourself."
The government's response against Nacho Torres.
The allusion was far from innocent: the President's official statement called the Chubut governor's warning a "Chavista" threat.
Milei's furious tour of her closest circles of social media users and trolls continued with another very harsh tweet.
"The governor of Chubut, Nacho Torres, threatens Milei that if there is no money there will not be another barrel of oil for the nation.
A close friend of Larreta,
this gangster refuses to make the adjustment and threatens the Kirchnerist style against the president," he said. Gray Man, troll from the libertarian power plant, who attached a photo of Torres and Larreta.
For the conclusion, he concentrated question, insult and accusation in just five words:
"Is this bastard a coup plotter?"
The Twitter messages that Javier Milei retweeted against the governor of Chubut, Ignacio Torres.
He continued with the message of another characterized follower: "Do not allow yourself to be extorted. Stand well before the governors addicted to spending."
Later he echoed a strong tweet from Mariano Pérez, host of Break Point, one of the libertarian streaming programs in which figures from La Libertad Avanza parade and which is the almost official organ of the party on YouTube.
"The
JETS of the governors
are capable of separating from Argentina rather than lowering spending. We must not give ONE MILIMETER to these extortionists," Pérez wrote.
The capital letters are his and, by extension, also Milei's.

In the wave of retweets, Ricardo López Murphy
was not left out of the crosshairs
, with whom he has been having a public personal confrontation since last Monday, when he accused him of being a "traitor of ideas" in a speech at a libertarian club in Corrientes.
"López Murphy on the side of the caste. On the side of the
extortion of the provincial gnocchi-fiefs
to the Argentinians who work. By action or omission, López Murphy is on the side of the orks," said user Juani Fernández, replicated by the President in his personal account.
With another user, he described the governors as "caste" and "trash."
"The caste does not care about our lives, they only want to maintain their privileges. They want to continue stealing and that is why they seek to complicate Milei when the President is making enormous efforts to move us forward. At this moment I have a terrible anger against these garbage," says the message from the user casigol that Milei spread.

There was also space for a public official.
"There are governors who believe they are
bosses of stay
: they are not owners of what is produced in their provinces. No one can paralyze the supply of basic resources. They extort and ignore the Law...", said
Javier Lanari
, previously a panelist and today undersecretary of the Nation Press.
Javier Milei with his own voice: against governors, López Murphy and photo with filters
Between retweets, Milei took a break to do something else: tweet.
In her own voice, she shared the statement from the Office of the President.
In her own way, she labeled it:
"Unmasking the lies of the degenerate prosecutors."
He also took over the keyboard to load inks on López Murphy.
"Does the bulldog endorse Chubut's default against the commitments made? Furthermore, does he endorse the progress on the property rights of the energy production sector? His resentment is stronger than his" liberalism "...", he unloaded against the Republican representative.
I never thought in my life that I would have so many joys together with the Principle of Revelation...
Also, seeing how the entire caste that has ruined the lives of good Argentines all come together to defend their obscene privileges with sky-high poverty It makes me sick... pic.twitter.com/Ri7o0kzw2p

And around 10 p.m., at dinner time, he posted again in his own right.
"I never thought in my life that I would have so many joys together with the Principle of Revelation... Furthermore, seeing how the entire caste that has ruined the lives of good Argentines all come together to defend their obscene privileges with a poverty for the clouds make me sick..." Milei wrote.
Principle of revelation is, in his own words, the effect produced by the rejection of his proposals and which exposes what he calls caste.
"So every time they vote against it, it is very clear that their fingers are dirty," he said after the fall of the Omnibus Law.
He illustrated that last message with a photo in which he is seen with his fist raised in a self-portrait on the balcony of the Casa Rosada, in a suit, with filters, noticeably rejuvenated.
