      It’s part of propaganda campaigns to smear competing politicians, I’d have to know more about Argentinian politics before making any conclusions.

        A smear is normally “hey this guy looks shady and HATES children”, not “we evidence of your sister (the secretary general) on tape routinely accepting kickbacks for government contracts”.

        FYI his sister is a government official because Milei specifically removed a law that barred family members from being appointed to such positions.

    What’s the opposition look like in Argentina?

    In the US, our president is putting to the test how corrupt you can be when you don’t face a credible opposition. As awful as corruption is, getting caught stealing from your citizens doesn’t threaten one’s power unless there’s an appealing political alternative.

      There is none, the only opposition is the kirchnerismo that is facing a power vacuum after the leader, Cristina Kirchner, was forbidden to participate in further elections due to corruption. Her son and the governor of the biggest province are duking it out with no end in sight.
