Why the official broadcast erased Santiago Caputo and Gordo DAN from Milei's national address
Santiago Caputo and Gordo DAN were notably absent from a national address by President Milei, sparking speculation over the reasons for their exclusion.
In a recent official broadcast of President Javier Milei's national address, two prominent figures of the libertarian movement, Santiago Caputo and Gordo DAN (Daniel Parisini), were conspicuously absent. Despite the presentation featuring 61 camera pans of the Congress, neither Caputo, a significant advisor to Milei, nor the well-known libertarian Twitter personality Gordo DAN appeared in any of the live footage, raising questions about their exclusion. This decision was made amidst a growing tension within the political landscape and allegiances.
The omission of these figures, particularly Gordo DAN, who has been an ardent supporter of Milei in the libertarian ecosystem, is seen by many as a response to internal party dynamics, possibly involving personal conflicts or disagreements. Sources suggest that Gordo DAN's public persona may have clashed with the desired image that Milei and his advisors wish to present, especially given the political stakes of a national address. The lack of representation for Caputo, known for his critical role in shaping the libertarian agenda, further emphasizes potential shifts in influence and power dynamics within Milei's administration.
These developments suggest a deeper rift within Milei's governing circle, with implications for future relations between Milei and his core supporters. The absence of these individuals from such a significant event may indicate attempts to consolidate power by streamlining the presentation of Milei's vision, while also hinting at potential adjustments in the team as they navigate the complex political environment in Argentina.
