Javier Milei takes another swipe at Juan Román Riquelme | OneFootball

Javier Milei, president of the country and a Boca fan, referred to the aggression he suffered during his caravan in Lomas de Zamora with a football anecdote and took the opportunity to target Juan Román Riquelme, during a presentation at the Inter-American Council of Commerce and Production.

Milei commented that it was “very exciting to face the rain of stones” alongside Luis Espert and Karina, his sister and general secretary of the presidency. He then explained: “I played for Chacarita and followed the team during the 1984, 1985, and 1986 campaigns. Moreover, at one point their stadium was suspended, and they had to play home games at Villa Dálmine's field. You have no idea how many times I ended up in the middle of stone-throwing.”

Next, the head of state recalled another violent experience from when “he was a Boca fan”: “We went to see a match against Palmeiras at the Morumbí, and the Brazilians also threw things at us and hit my dad.” In the midst of this, he emphasized that he no longer supports the Blue and Gold colors and took a shot at Riquelme: “He was chosen by a River fan. Maybe it was Toto (Caputo, Minister of Economy).”

Finally, the leader of La Libertad Avanza revealed: “When I was a kid, I played baby football at El Ideal de Lugano. Once we had a final against a local rival, and they brought the Nueva Chicago fans, who moved our goal and did those kinds of things. In other words, I'm used to adversity.”

After Boca's defeat against River at the Monumental in April, the libertarian retweeted a post from a user on X: “The progressivism or rather poverty-ism that dominates Boca continues to sink it. Not only because of the sports results but because they have set the club back in every way.” Previously, he had opined that the current management “is a disaster.”
