This Friday, federal prosecutor Franco Picardi promoted criminal action to investigate the statements of the presidential candidate for La Libertad Avanza, Javier Milei, against the national currency, within the framework of the file initiated by a complaint from Alberto Fernández, judicial sources reported. "Taking into account what is indicated in the complaint, Messrs. Javier Gerardo Milei (candidate for president), Ramiro Marra (candidate for head of the Buenos Aires Government) and Agustín Romo (candidate for deputy of the Province of Buenos Aires) are accused in these proceedings. "), detailed the prosecutor in the request he presented before Judge María Servini. In the presentation made by lawyer José Manuel Ubeira, the President denounced Milei, Marra and Romo this week for recommending that citizens not save in pesos, encouraging the purchase of dollars and, in the case of the maximum reference of La Libertad Avanza , for defining weight as "excrement." The complaint considered that the facts to be investigated "constitute a severe affront to the democratic system that governs us as a country, resulting in an unusual institutional gravity for the Republic."
