In a clownish and embarrassing spectacle that demonstrates the Argentine government's submission to British colonialism, President Javier Milei received the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Boris Johnson , at Casa Rosada on Monday afternoon. "The leaders not only took a photo together, but Milei also left the presidential balcony for the English politician to greet his imaginary public, since there were only a few curious people watching from Plaza de Mayo," highlighted the morning paper Página|12.
Johnson is no longer in public office, having been forced to leave parliament after an inquiry found that as prime minister he deliberately misled lawmakers over the so-called "Partygate" scandal and attempted to "intimidate and abuse" the MPs in charge of the inquiry.
The despicable scene involving Milei and Johnson occurred while the controversy over the agreement between the United Kingdom and Argentina on the return of trips to the Malvina Islands continues and it became known that an Anglo-Australian company has come to control two of the most important lithium projects in Argentina.
The news site Border revealed that “among the topics discussed were international politics, religion, ecology, abortion, technology and they even talked about their favorite British musicians,” adding that “Milei will soon travel to the United Kingdom, and Boris himself will be in charge of organizing the conference that the libertarian will give and a possible meeting with the frontman of the Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger.”
With a country on fire, with an unprecedented university crisis, with retirees who continue to demand their pensions and with a scenario of increasing economic, political and social conflict, the president of the Argentines subjects his people to this type of eccentricity that hurts national pride and offends the memory of the patriots who in 1982 fought against the invading British enemy, even giving their lives in the line of duty and in defense of sovereignty .
If anyone thought that the Winnie the Pooh bears that Foreign Minister Guido Di Tella sent to the islanders in 1998 could symbolize the lowest point of decadence in the obsequious pro-British policy that Argentine liberals have always maintained regarding the Malvinas , the photos of Johnson on the balcony of the Rosada far surpass that degrading event.
