Javier Milei confronts Clarín while Karina demands to clean up the Libra files

The history of Grupo Clarín began almost 80 years ago. Javier Milei took office in December 2023. Perhaps that is why many in the Government were surprised when the rumor began to circulate that the media company was launching a bid to buy the local subsidiary of Telefónica. The new merger was underway , like that of Cablevisión with Multicanal in the time of Néstor Kirchner. Governments come and go, but Clarín remains .

On Monday, hours after the company's announcement, the President's Office announced that it will investigate the transaction, warning of the risk of a monopoly in telecommunications. The war seems to have begun. Will there be a change in the editorial line of Grupo Clarín in response to the official warning? It is a developing story. "Clarín is lying," tweeted the former all-powerful Santiago Caputo from his @MileiEmperador account.

The battlefront opened at a time when the Government is rushing to erase evidence from social media of the $Libra scandal. The traces were everywhere. The "investors" were recounting in great detail the alleged contract that the President had signed with Hayden Davis. His brother told it in an interview that was deleted but it was too late. The same with the Tech Forum presentations where officials close to Milei were going to participate.

Weren't monopolies good? The plot behind the Milei-Clarín "war"

How far did his sister Karina decide to play? It is an answer that no one dares to give at this time. Although the judicial operators light candles for Comodoro Py. They forget, perhaps, the contacts that Mauricio Macri has there. The former president exploded with fury over the failure of the tender for the Hydroway. "Next week I will answer Caputo," said Macri in Santa Fe. The hours are running out and everyone expects some move from the founder of the PRO, more angry about the failed tender than about political issues. Business is business.

Axel Kicillof's launch in the Peronist internal

Meanwhile, in Peronism, Axel Kicillof decided to make clear a situation that has been brewing for some time. This is the total independence of Cristina Fernández de Kirchner and La Cámpora. "Maybe we are making mistakes, but we are making decisions that had to be made," an advisor to Axel's inner circle told PERFIL . "It is absolutely out of place," said Oscar Parrilli . The phrase is his. But the order is Cristina's.

The situation is now irreversible and in the midst of a libertarian government willing to establish a new hegemony, the PJ is playing its cards away from what is happening "on the street." Although this seems out of line, those who are aware of what is happening in the province of Buenos Aires know that these things are being defined now. "Then it will be the turn of the election," they venture.

It's raining on wet ground: the internal conflict between Máximo and Cristina Kirchner

The mayors, just in case, are avoiding a frontal move. They all want to succeed Kicillof. One is Federico Achával, mayor of Pilar. Perhaps due to this need to join forces, he is asking for municipal taxes that suffocate every businessman who wants to invest or set up in his district. He is not going to stop. The same thing is happening in Lanús , where there is noise due to the unofficial requests of some officials. Things in the suburbs.
