The Argentine policy was shaken this week by the explosive statements of the former chancellor Diana Mondinowho broke the silence in an interview with the journalist Mehdi Hasan, of the Head To Head of Al Jazeera English program.
In a dialogue loaded with voltage and incisive questions, Diana Mondino He referred to the Criptomoneda $ Libra scandal, which involves President Javier Milei, and left a phrase that resonated throughout the political spectrum: “There are two possibilities: either it is not very intelligent or it is a kind of corrupt. Choose you. I don’t know.”
The $ Libra case broke out at the beginning of 2025, when Milei shared on his social networks a link promoting this cryptocurrency, which did not have official support or regulation of the Central Bank. The virtual currency collapsed shortly after, leaving millionaire losses between investors who trusted the presidential message.
According to Hasan, it is estimated that about 250 million dollars “disappeared” in the maneuver. During the interview, Hasan pressed Mondino to pronounce on Milei’s responsibility in the episode.
The former official, who had maintained a low profile since her exit from the cabinet, initially tried to divert the conversation to diplomatic issues, such as the agreement between the European Union and Mercosur. However, the journalist insisted on the issue of $ Libra, and that was when Mondino He launched his most blunt phrase.
“I shouldn’t have tweeted that,” he acknowledged Mondinoin reference to the posto of Milei. When Hasan asked him why he thinks he did, she replied: “I think someone told him, she thought it was a good idea.”
Maneuver
But given the insistence of the journalist about the lost money and the possible beneficiaries of the maneuver, Mondino concluded: “Exactly. So there are two possibilities. Or it is not very intelligent or is a kind of corrupt. Choose you. You do not know.”
The phrase generated an immediate stir. Although Mondino He then tried to clarify his words, clarifying that he was not affirming either option but raising a dilemma, the impact was already made. Hasan even pointed out that it was the first time in the interview that she suggested that Milei could be “corrupt or stupid”, to which Mondino responded with discomfort: “No! That is what you said.”
