Cryptocurrency: Argentine President Milei Falsely Prosecuted For Promoting Sound Money, FreeSpeech

[grarpamp]

Just as has happened to Trump, Socialists always try
to wage false prosecution against their opponents
rather than compete on the merits.

Ever since the GloboHomo-Socialists (DavosWEF Soros etc)
figured out Milei was running, especially after the Tucker
interview, they have flown in from outside the country
and tried to cancel his lead.


VIVA MILEI, VIVA ARGENTINA !!!

   BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — A prosecutor launched a criminal case
   Friday against Argentina’s frontrunner in this month’s presidential
   elections, accusing Javier Milei of deliberately causing a drop in the
   Argentine currency when he encouraged citizens not to save in pesos.

   Milei denounced the move as political persecution, just days ahead of the
   Oct. 22 polling.

   President Alberto Fernández had called for the investigation in a
   complaint filed Wednesday, saying that the right-wing populist candidate
   was trying to scare the public and that his actions were “a severe
   affront to the democratic system.”

   Prosecutor Franco Picardi on Friday referred a criminal case to a federal
   judge, going off Fernández’s accusation that claimed Milei and other
   candidates on his party’s ticket were inciting public fear — a charge
   that carries possible prison terms of up to six years. Federal Judge
   María Servini will later decide whether there is enough evidence to
   indict.

   Presidential hopeful of the Liberty Advances coalition Javier Milei,
   waves at followers during a campaign event in La Plata, Argentina,
   Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2023. General elections in Argentina are set for Oct. 22.

   Milei is considered the frontrunner in the Oct. 22 election, after rocking
   Argentina’s political landscape when he unexpectedly received the most
   votes in August primaries that are widely seen as a massive poll of voter
   preferences.

   He pushed back against the criminal case Friday, characterizing the
   prosecutor as an ally of the government and saying that Picardi is
   “persecuting the political option most voted by the Argentine people.”

   In a post on social media, Milei added: “Nothing will prevent the
   beating we’re going to give them at the polls.”

   In a news conference earlier this week, Milei said those who criticized
   him were trying to “tarnish the electoral process or even forcibly ban
   the most popular political force ... because they know we’re just a few
   points away from winning.”

   In his initial complaint, Fernández cited a radio interview Monday in
   which Milei recommended that Argentines not renew fixed rate deposits in
   the local currency, saying the “peso is the currency issued by the
   Argentine politician, and therefore it is not worth crap.”

   Another member of Milei’s self-described libertarian party, a candidate
   for the Buenos Aires mayoralty, also called on citizens to drop the peso.

   “Today more than ever: Don’t save in pesos,” Ramiro Marra wrote on
   social media Tuesday.

   Marra and Agustín Romo, a candidate for the Buenos Aires province
   legislature in Milei’s Liberty Advances party, also were included in the
   prosecutor’s filing.

   Many of Milei’s rivals [197]blamed him for a sharp depreciation of the
   peso, which lost 10 percent of its value over the past week.

   The so-called blue rate, as the informal exchange rate is known, reached
   as high as 1,050 pesos to the U.S. dollar on Tuesday, a sharp increase
   from 880 pesos the previous week. It later moderated that increase and
   ended the week at around 980 pesos to the dollar.

   Stringent capital controls mean that access to the official foreign
   exchange market, which currently prices a dollar at 367 pesos, is
   extremely limited.

   Milei is a fiercely anti-establishment candidate who has said that the
   answer to Argentina’s red-hot inflation, which is running at around 140%
   per year, is to dollarize the economy. He had recently suggested the sharp
   depreciation of the peso could be convenient for his eventual presidency.

   “The higher price of the dollar, the easier it is to dollarize,” Milei
   said earlier this month.

   Polls show Milei is leading the race for presidency although he does not
   appear to have enough votes to win outright without a runoff next month.
