The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, once once more took aim this Thursday harshly once morest the singer Lali Espósito. This, following having called her “Lali Depósito” in an interview. On his social networks, The president reposted images created with artificial intelligence by his followers and accused the artist of “having started” the issue, amidst questions regarding the funds received by the provinces.
“You can attack me and I can’t respond? Do you want to play with me? I’m going to answer you, I’m not going to stay silent,” added the President. Along these lines, he commented that if someone wants to attack him they have to be “clean” to be able to make criticisms, and he once once more stated that the singer received money from provincial governments to do recitals.
“Propaganda mechanism”
“If you are a parasite who lived sucking at the breast of the State, and if your opinions are in line with a political space that paid for your presentations, “You are a propaganda mechanism, you are not an artist,” he said.
According to the media Profile, the president also once once more used the derogatory nickname “Lali Depósito”, which he expressed in a television note with La Nación+, and assured that the artist “lives off of tax payers at the expense of children’s hunger.” He also criticized the way provincial authorities manage their funds. “What are the priorities? “Feed people or fill Lali Depósito’s pocket and have her criticize me at a festival,” he added.
In line with the statements, Milei once once more became very active in the virtual world. According to the Argentine media, through her “X” -ex Twitter- account, He viralized strong memes once morest Espósito, made with Artificial Intelligence (AI) by his followers, where she is seen with bags of money and surrounded by poor children and adults.
In another of them, the actress is also seen running with a bag of money and in the background you can see malnourished children. “Lali Espósito collects fortunes from the State in provinces sunk in maximum poverty… Without shame,” says one of the posts that Milei “Liked.”
During the interview with La Nación, The president had said that Lali “collected money from several governments.” “In one of the recitals he earned 350 thousand dollars. So the question is, are you willing to finance those expenses once morest the VAT that takes food from the children of Chaco? ”He asked himself.
Meanwhile, this Thursday the group Actrices Argentinas shared a statement in support of the artist: “We support our colleague Lali in the face of harassment by the President. Institutional violence towards cultural representatives and social references seeks to silence the voices that rise once morest misogyny, hunger and adjustment. “They are not going to silence us,” they stated.
The fight between Milei and Lali
The origin of the confrontation between Lali and Javier Milei dates back to the time when the president was still a candidate for the Presidency and had obtained a victory in the PASO 2023. “How dangerous. How sad,” the singer wrote on her social networks before the victory of Libertad Avanza in the primary elections.
Finally, the libertarian economist won the runoff once morest Sergio Massa and, far from being left behind, the criticism once morest the artist grew. Milei himself raised the issue on more than one occasion, focusing on the funds that the Nation sends to the provinces.
A few days ago, at Cosquín Rock, Espósito made a statement in one of his presentations by changing the lyrics of his song “Who Are They?” and she echoed all the negative comments that she had experienced weeks ago by the Head of State and his followers: “I do live off the State,” he said.
“Córdoba makes Cosquín Rock, which is private, but in subsidies it gives the artists more than a billion pesos. So, all the artists who were there, for example Lali ‘Depósito’, received the State fee,” Milei had launched regarding the event.
