This Wednesday Javier Milei visited the Cardenal Copello school, in Villa Devoto, where he studied with his sister Karina.
He gave an
extensive and relaxed speech
in which he recalled his time at school, questioned the left, moved his Minister of Human Capital, Sandra Pettovello, and described abortion as a “murder aggravated by the bond.”
The color note was given by
two students who fainted
on stage while the President was speaking.
When one of the young people who was next to him fainted, the head of state responded with a joke and a chicanery against the
"lefties."
"I swear I won't name them anymore,"
he said regarding the left-wing leaders, whom he usually describes as "lefties," since he was talking about the subject when the young man fainted.
It was not the only episode of the morning, since a young woman had previously fainted.
"Another one? Uh…"
the president asked his sister and general secretary of the Presidency, Karina Milei, who was next to him on the school stage.
Milei seemed surprised by the second faint.
In this case it was a young man who was escorting the papal flag to the left of him and collapsed to the ground.
"And yes, I name them and they are infallible,"
the libertarian joked in reference to the fact that seconds before he had mentioned the socialists, while the boy was being assisted on the floor behind him.

The President's statements generated a quick response from the left-wing national representative
Myriam Bregman
, who picked up the gauntlet and accused him of making fun of the young man.
"A kid faints and Milei makes fun. A shame
," Bregman said through a post on her social networks.
The crosses did not stop there, since the presidential spokesperson, Manuel Adorni, uploaded a tweet with the moment in which the boy vanishes and with the caption "End."
The post was questioned again by Bregman: "Today we saw the president skidding in an embarrassing way, making fun of a child who is fainting, making disgusting jokes and so on. Now,
his spokesperson uses the image to promote bullying
. I think it's totally scary. "They believe they are unpunished, but they should know that they are not."

In his message to the students of the Cardenal Copello school in Villa Devoto, the President asked them to become "aware that we can raise the bar a little higher and do it better than what I am going to do."
In the moment allocated to the questions that the students could ask the President, in a kind of press conference that the Casa Rosada has not given until now, Milei responded about the reasons why he considers that young people support his political proposal, when the young man began to close his eyes and try to stay upright.
"There are many people who are socialists without knowing it. From there, let's say that it was so shocking that I stood up in Davos and almost told them 'you are all lefties,'" Milei finished indicating when the young man, who was being captured by the cameras that were focused on the President,
collapsed on the floor.
In front of the youth audience, Milei expressed a harsh sentence against legal abortion.
She was the one describing that “what politicians do is party and pass the bill to generations that were not even born, and some - who also try to kill, who are the murderers of the green scarves.”

The President's harsh phrase against the voluntary interruption of pregnancy.
Along these lines, he described abortion as “a murder aggravated by the bond,” and added that this can be demonstrated “from a mathematical, philosophical perspective, from liberalism, and also from a biological perspective.”
Teresa, a former teacher at the school, remembered him fondly although she also noted that as a retiree “she is not very well” and that she hopes that the president “does not push so hard.”
At night, the president denied having been her student and crossed her hard: "Farmer and liar," he called her.
Sandra Pettovello's crying during Milei's visit to Copello
The Minister of Human Capital,
Sandra Pettovello
, was moved to tears during Milei's speech at Copello.

Sandra Pettovello broke down when listening to the President.
“Surely the example was flowery and metaphorized.
He told us that it is a little animal that they go hunting when there is rain and they corner it against the mud, because the little animal prefers to die rather than get dirty," the head of state said excitedly, remembering the story that a teacher told him about the shield. original from the school.
In this context, the President continued: “Brother José Luis, after explaining to us the value of
'dead before being dirty'...
And look at the mess we are making.
Notice that every day we find a new job and we take it outside all the time.”
Immediately afterwards, the cameras focused on Petovello crying and Milei commented with a laugh:
“I am moved by the Minister of Human Capital
, who is a job-finding machine.
She has an anti-corruption division and every week she moves into a new apartment and makes some incredible messes, you will already be seeing it, beyond those who end up incriminating themselves for taking out trust funds from a law."
