Carreira's message
“Tremendous event at Argentina Week. The organization of Alec Oxenford, the GIGA Ambassador we have in the United States, is truly remarkable, and I applaud all the officials and colleagues who spoke to tell the most important businessmen in the world (literally) how Milei's new Argentina is in the making. I experienced it firsthand because I was invited by the organization of the event,” he wrote
in X. In the same message, the official also clarified that his trip was not funded by the State, since he did not participate as an exhibitor in official activities. As he explained, the transfer and the living expenses were covered with his own money
. Juan Doe's message.
“I want to clarify to all the shitty journalists that since I wasn't an exhibitor, the Government paid me absolutely nothing and I paid for the entire trip out of my pocket: I traveled alone, by plane and I paid for my flight (I traveled with Delta Air Lines as a Tourist) and I paid for the hotel (I stayed at the Courtyard Inn),” he
said.
In his statement, Carreira also questioned the actions of the journalists who spread false information. In addition, he argued that the controversy occurs in a context in which the international event achieved historic investments for
the country.
“The motherfuckers of journalists, who have nothing to talk about because Argentina is doing well for the first time in 30 years, invent anything to boycott what was a spectacular event that has already confirmed investments of more than 15 billion dollars,” he explained about the event.
The official also crossed paths with the socialist deputy Esteban Paulón, who denounced Carreira in an unusual way: “And to the conchudo of Esteban Paulon: denounce me in peace and quiet because with all the nonsense you've been saying I do shit to you in justice.”
