Javier Milei on Controversial Investment: “A Private Matter”
Argentine President Javier Milei defends his stance on a controversial investment, stating it was voluntary and involved mainly foreign investors.
- Javier Milei denies promoting the investment, stating he only shared it.
- He claims the Argentine State did not lose money, with minimal local impact.
- Most investors were Chinese and American, fully aware of the risks.
Argentine President Javier Milei recently addressed concerns over his involvement in a controversial investment opportunity, clarifying that he did not promote it but merely shared it. Speaking in a televised interview, Milei dismissed claims that the Argentine government or its people suffered significant financial losses due to the investment’s outcome.
Minimal Local Impact, Foreign Investors Involved
Milei emphasized that the majority of those involved in the investment were Chinese and American traders, not everyday Argentinians. “Did the State lose money? No. Did Argentinians lose money? Maybe four or five at most,” he stated, downplaying the domestic impact. According to Milei, those who participated were professional volatility traders who fully understood the risks involved.
A Matter of Voluntary Participation
Defending the investment as a private agreement between willing participants, Milei insisted that no coercion or misinformation played a role. “Those who got involved knew the risks very well,” he explained, reinforcing his belief that financial ventures of this nature are a matter of personal choice rather than state intervention.
As the discussion continues, Milei’s stance remains firm: the investment was a voluntary opportunity, and any associated risks were borne solely by those who chose to participate. His remarks are likely to fuel further debate on financial responsibility and government involvement in private investments.
