Live broadcast: President Javier Milei's advice to voters: "Act like the Kukas but present as Republicans," in response to the opposition dialogueist bloc that declined his vetoes

In the heart of Argentina, political maneuvers and economic discussions have been at the forefront this week. Let's delve into some of the significant events that have shaped the nation's landscape.

President Javier Milei hosted a meeting at the Quinta de Olivos, welcoming candidates from La Libertad Avanza for the upcoming October legislative elections. The gathering also included the campaign chiefs of the 24 provinces, Diego Valenzuela, and Sturzenegger and Ruckauf.

After a challenging defeat in Congress, Milei called upon all La Libertad Avanza candidates to regroup in Olivos, aiming to rejuvenate the campaign. The decision came after the opposition rejected his vetoes on university funding and more funds for the Garrahan Hospital.

In a bold move, Milei accused the dialoguing opposition of voting like the 'kukas' but disguised as republicans. The President's criticism was followed by support from Sergio "Kun" Agüero, who expressed his good vibes with the government and considered it necessary to "support what's there."

Meanwhile, the Government faced intense scrutiny as economy minister Luis Caputo accused opposition deputies of attempting to "break the fiscal balance" and "overthrow President Javier Milei." Caputo emphasized that the Government would continue to ensure order in public accounts as a crucial step towards improving the quality of life for Argentines.

In a separate development, the Government denounced sectors close to the PRO and governors "allied with Kirchnerism" for overturning Milei's vetoes on laws that grant more resources to universities and the Hospital Garrahan, with the intention of creating instability in governance.

On the international front, Peter Lamelas, the new U.S. Ambassador to Argentina, was confirmed by the US Senate with 51 to 47 votes. During his swearing-in, he demanded the immediate prosecution of former Argentine President Cristina Kirchner and stated that Chinese investors must leave Argentina due to corruption concerns.

Lamelas, who has a history with Fidel Castro, shared an intriguing anecdote about his encounter with the Cuban leader, stating that Castro once rubbed the top of his and his brother's heads and said, "Oh, two red-haired Cuban kids, red for the color of the revolution."

Pablo Cabaleiro, known as "the Toothless Magician," visited the Olivos Estate to voice his support for Milei but also expressed his concerns about the current economic situation. Meanwhile, Cristiano Rattazzi, an Italian-Argentine businessman, returned to Argentina after three months in Europe and offered his support to the government, but warned about the fragility of the economy, the mistrust of the markets, and the increase in country risk.

Lastly, Luis Caputo announced a primary and financial surplus in August, marking a positive step towards economic stability in Argentina. The nation awaits further developments as these key events continue to unfold.
