Previously, Milei had already spoken out days earlier after the news of Jorge Messi's passing. On that occasion, the president questioned those who had criticized the Argentine star throughout his career and stated: "To think that there were anti-Messi people in Argentina is embarrassing".
In the same vein, he had highlighted the captain's effort during the months leading up to the World Cup: "During these last two months, Messi sought to bring joy to the Argentine people while his father was dying and had only a few days left to live. He is the greatest human being in the history of the country".
With his new message, the President, as is customary for him, publicly supported Messi again, this time in light of the personal pain he is experiencing after the loss of his father.
