Milei scornfully refers to career politicians as “the caste” and his economic program as the “chainsaw plan” — a nod to his proposed wide-ranging budget cuts and drastically reducing the size of the state. He had the right ideas, the right direction, but he failed at the speed [needed to set them in motion],” Milei said, adding that Macri’s allies were to blame for his lack of success. During the interview, Milei also made unfounded claims that there were “irregularities” in the October 22 elections, saying that the electoral authorities were “influenced” by the government’s executive branch. Milei and his supporters have been making unfounded claims of electoral fraud since before the elections even happened. Milei’s party has not presented any formal reports of fraud to the electoral authorities.
