According to the newspaper La Nación, neither of the two, whose support for Milei in this second round is considered decisive for the eventual victory of the economist and former commentator, knew about the initiative of Karina Milei, Javier’s sister, and the lawyer Santiago Viola, the subscribers. . of the complaint based, according to them, on anonymous reports.
Aníbal Fernández, Minister of Security (and therefore colleague in Massa’s government), said, however, that he will file charges against Karina Milei and Viola. Agustín Rossi, Massa’s vice presidential candidate, questioned why Milei did not complain after winning the primary in August.
