Elisa Carrió on Javier and Karina Milei: "The presidential couple is perverse, enjoys cruelty, and is filled with greed."

Civic Coalition leader Elisa Carrió harshly criticized Javier and Karina Milei in the wake of the ruling party's defeat in the Buenos Aires legislative elections. "The presidential couple is a perverse couple, one that thrives on cruelty and is filled with greed," she stated.
Carrió spoke on A24 on Tuesday, where she stated that she was "happy" with the government's defeat. She criticized the President for his attacks on people with disabilities and his vetoes of pension increases. She also emphasized the alleged bribery schemes in which Karina Milei was allegedly involved.
The Civic Coalition leader emphasized that the government "exposes perversity" and said that this "is not cruelty, it's something more: it's enjoying cruelty."
"The presidential couple is a perverse one, one that thrives on cruelty and is filled with greed," he added about Javier Milei and his sister, Secretary General of the Presidency and electoral organizer, Karina Milei.
Meanwhile, Carrió said she's happy with Sunday's election results, where Peronism defeated La Libertad Avanza, but downplayed the achievements of the Frente Patria: "Peronism got the votes it always did."
The leader reflected on the alliance between LLA and the PRO, which sought to win the elections. "The first big mistake that analysts, communicators, and everyone else made was thinking that Together for Change was Macri. No," she reflected, implying that the government lost because it lacks the support of the other two branches of Together for Change, the UCR and the Civic Coalition.
Along the same lines, he asserted that Peronism won, "but Cristina loses." "Stop talking about Kirchnerism. Kirchnerism loses, the mayors won, " he asserted, adding that while he is at odds with Axel Kicillof's thinking, he still praises him as a political leader.
Carrió also addressed the reasons for the Libertarian Party's electoral defeat in Sunday's elections, pointing the finger at Santiago Caputo and dismissing responsibility from Sebastián Pareja, the party's Buenos Aires-based organizer.
"These guys, these 'strategists,' one says 'Santiago Caputo'... Everyone says 'it's Pareja's fault'; no, it's the strategy . Who raised Kirchnerism in this campaign, who played at polarization?" he asked.
Looking to the future, and referring to what will happen after Peronism's victory in the Province, Carrió maintained that "nothing will happen," although she called for "a balance to the authoritarian power." " Those who are putting the republic at risk are the government ; the government took it upon itself to dissolve potential allies," she added.
Later, he again took aim at the President and his sister in reference to the cryptocurrency scandal, stating: "The Libra thing is a phenomenal scam involving the Mileis. The Mileis are illegal . It's the Argentina of illegality."
Looking ahead to the October elections, the Civic Coalition leader also added: "I believe the only way to sustain the republic—they must complete their term—is for society to vote for a third alternative to moderate parliament. They will gain representation, but they must vote for a third alternative."
Carrió also called for "giving the necessary authority to a group of national deputies and governors who have the authority to uphold the republican system, but not allowing the government to do everything." However, when asked what she thought of the United Provinces, the opposition group formed by several governors, she maintained that "when there are so many ambitions for the presidency, they all fight among themselves ."
"I hope the people make a good choice to moderate this. So that he [Milei] can finish his term, but that there is another option," he asked, and then continued: " It's not that Peronism is going to win, because there are people who are tired . There are many people from La Matanza who wouldn't vote for Espinoza." "But who are they going to vote for?" he asked.
In Tuesday's interview, Carrió also took aim at the economic team , stating that she doesn't believe in Central Bank President Santiago Bausili or Luis "Toto" Caputo, whom she described as "a great trader," but adding that he "doesn't know the real Argentina" and that he "doesn't care about SMEs." "They've never seen a single SME in their lives," she stated.
