Bullrich will criminally denounce Milei for his terrorism accusations

The candidate of the Together for Change coalition (center-right) for the Argentine Presidency, Patricia Bullrich, He said this Tuesday that he will criminally denounce the libertarian Javier Milei for having accused her of having “bombed a kindergarten” during his guerrilla era.

In statements to the media during a campaign event in the town of Villa Adelina, the former Minister of Security in the Government of Mauricio Macri (2015-2019) described the economist as “liar”.

“Javier Milei said in the debate: ‘If you changed, I accept that you changed’ (…) Twenty-four hours later, he went on a television program to say that I had planted bombs in a kindergarten,” summarized, visibly upset, Bullrich, who in his youth was a member of the left-wing Peronist guerrilla Montoneros.

Milei’s accusations against the Together for Change candidate are not new and were a central topic in the third block of the first pre-electoral debate between the candidates for the Argentine Presidency held last Sunday in Santiago del Estero, the oldest city in the country. .

The economist, who leads the far-right political force La Libertad Avanza, disqualified Bullrich during the debate, calling her a “a lot of bomb throwers”.

Bullrich – who admitted that night to having been active during his youth in Montoneros, although he denied that his hands were stained with blood – asked that no more “false accusations” be made against him.

“I was from a youth organization (…) The same thing happened to great leaders of humanity like Nelson Mandela or José Mujica,” added the opposition coalition candidate.

Both Javier Milei and his candidate for vice president, lawyer Victoria Villarruel, have made the debate on the victims of leftist armed groups in the 1970s one of their main speeches ahead of the presidential elections.

The latest polls point to a very close result between Milei, Bullrich and the official candidate and current Minister of Economy, Sergio Massa.
