Vice President Victoria Villarruel denied having gone to visit former President Mauricio Macri during her time in Bariloche, when she was near the former president’s resting place, in the Cumelén country. She did it after the leader Juan Grabois spoke of a conspiracy between Macri and Villarruel to put together a replacement option in case Javier Milei cannot continue. Nevertheless, Both parties admit that there were dialogues between the former president and the current vice president, but they are not recent. What did you talk about? Neither party wants to say it.
It is known: Villarruel came to the Government with the idea that he was going to occupy two ministries with his own people, Security and Defense, and Milei gave that place to the two members of what was the presidential formula of Together for Change. Besides, He relegated her in decisions to practically “ringing the bell.” She counterattacked by changing the provisional president of the Senate that Milei had anointed and began legislative work to add majorities. Villarruel does not seem at all happy with the limited space to which her running mate relegated her.
“Ready for everything”
Proof of this is the article in the British newspaper Financial Times, which describes her as a leader with “her own agenda.” “it is first in line of presidential successiona crucial position, analysts say, given Milei’s status as a outsider of politics and with few seats in Congress generates the real possibility that he will not complete his four-year term“, indicates the medium read by liberals around the world. And leaves four words that describe Villarruel in her wishes: “She’s ready for anything.”
This article was retweeted by an account close to Villarruel that usually compiles articles that mention her:
What was it that broke between the president and the vice president? Precisely, that idea that she is “ready for anything.” Or, put another way, Karina Milei’s perception – real or fictitious – that Villarruel was having his own game, weaving their own alliances, having their dialogues directly not only with the military and police (as he publicly showed), but with political leaders. And among them, with former president Macri.
conspiracy theory
The one who stirred up the idea of a conspiracy against Milei by his vice president with the assistance of Macri was Juan Grabois. “They are preparing a coup,” he said. “He wants to turn it over, and he is clear, It is Victoria Villarruel, along with Mauricio Macri. They are preparing the coup. I say this to Milei voters. They are going to see it,” she assured. Grabois stressed that those who sought to overthrow Milei were not her adversaries, but rather the internalism of her own government. And, above all, the vice president close to all military sectors.
Grabois echoed different journalistic versions that indicated that on his recent trip to Bariloche Villarruel had detoured to approach the Cumelén country of Villa La Angostura, where historically Macri spends his summers since he was president (previously he chose Punta del Este).
However, according to the newspaper Río Negro, in a meeting with businessmen from Bariloche Villarruel brought up the topic of the meeting with Macri on her own to deny it: He told them that he was not with the former president.
The proliferation of these versions, however, only fuels the level of mistrust that already exists between the president and his former running mate.
There are, there are
Nevertheless, The dialogues between Villarruel and Macri did exist, they just date back a while. More political and given to the thread than the president, Villarruel practices the art of conversing with different political sectors, as she demonstrated as soon as she entered the Senate. This included Macri.
Times differ depending on who you ask. On Macri’s side, they indicate that his last conversation with Villarruel was “a little more than a month ago.” On the vice president’s side, they place it further away “two months ago.” More precisely, in mid-November. Since then, they point out near Villarruel, There were no further contacts of any kind with the former president.
Both parties agree on something: in not wanting to tell what were the topics that Villarruel and Macri discussed. However, close to the former president they maintain that the conspiracy to overthrow Milei is “straight up ridiculous.”
The truth is that the vice president maintains an open line of dialogue with different political sectors in Congress, and even with Macri, with whom she seems to have a better relationship than the one the former president and Milei have at the moment.
