The public meeting between the Argentine president Javier Milei and his vice president Victoria Villarruelafter 45 days without appearing together, was marked by a notable distance and coldness.
This event took place during the celebration of the 203rd anniversary of the Argentine Federal Police, a solemn event that included the graduation of the cadets of the Comisario General Juan Ángel Pirker School. Despite the importance of the event, the relationship between Javier Milei and Victoria Villarruel It revealed tensions that did not go unnoticed.
From the beginning of the event, the lack of interaction between the president and his vice was evident. Both arrived separately: Villarruel arrived a few minutes before 10 in the morning, accompanied by the head of the Chamber of Deputies, Martín Menem, while Milei arrived just in time, escorted by strong guards and with the police vans’ sirens blaring.
During the ceremony, they kept a safe distance, without exchanging glances or words, despite being seated next to each other. The coldness between Milei and Villarruel became even more palpable during the speeches and the final parade.
While the president gave his speech, in which he highlighted the importance of supporting the security forces and criticized the “barbaric guarantee” that, according to him, only brings misery, Villarruel remained stoic, without showing any visible reaction.
The smiles, hugs and comments were reserved for other officials present, such as the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, with whom Milei showed greater closeness. The rift between Milei and Villarruel is not new and has been the subject of speculation in the media.
Differences
The ideological and political differences between the two have become evident on several occasions. One of the most recent episodes that exacerbated these tensions was Villarruel’s visit to former president María Estela Martínez de Perón in Spain, a gesture that Javier Milei publicly disapproved.
This visit, followed by the placement of a bust of the former president in the Senate, was seen by many as an attempt to Villarruel to vindicate historical figures of Peronism, something that contrasts with Milei’s more liberal and critical position towards that movement.
