The Argentine president, Javier Mileiwho has on numerous occasions despised the State and its interventionism, benefited precisely from this state aid during the Kirchnerism. Specifically, the transport companies in which his father was a shareholder received millionaire aid between 2003 and 2007. Both Milei and her sister, Karina Milei, benefited from that money and acquired a car and a house.

The president’s father, Norberto Milei, also known as “Beto” Milei, went from being a bus driver to being a shareholder and president of three companies, whose head was the firm Francisco de Viedma SA since 2001. “Beto” controlled through that society to the company Teniente General Roca SA which, in turn, owned half of the shares of Rocaraza SA.

And, according to an investigation coordinated by the Latin American Center for Journalistic Research (CLIP) with ‘elDiarioAR’ and ‘La Nación’, the Argentine Transportation Secretariat distributed state subsidies to these two companies – Rocaraza SA and Teniente General Roca SA – for at least 33 million between 2005 and mid-2007.

State aid was key to consolidating the family fortune presidential. These subsidies allowed Milei’s father to pay his debts, who had opened a bankruptcy in 2002.

Beto Milei sold his shareholding in the bus companies in 2006, but continued as an executive of the group until mid-2007 and promoted other companies close to the transportation sector in the agricultural world.

Furthermore, according to the same research, his children benefited from this family fortune. Karina Milei, the president’s sister and his right-hand woman in the government, received as an “inheritance” a 150-square-meter house in one of the most affluent areas of Vicente López.

While Javier Milei has promised to eliminate all forms of state subsidies, thanks to his father’s money that he obtained from this aid, he accessed a black Ford Ecosport 2.0 vehicle, model 2005, which he later sold to buy a Peugeot RCZ coupe that he maintains to this day. present.
