Businessman Eduardo Eurnekian was critical of the candidate of La Libertad Avanza (LLA), Javier Milei, who years ago worked in one of his companies and He called it “failed.”
It was in response to a question from journalists regarding why he believed that it was “regardless of having worked” in his companies, in relation to Milei, who worked for several years in the finance area of his company.
Laughing, the owner of Corporación América – the holding company that includes Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 among its main assets – stated: “I have 3,700 people who work for the company. One failed, what do you want me to do?”

In a later statement he made to Telamthe businessman clarified that his words were “without negative connotation”: “Someone may fail, in the sense of an exception to the rule and seek the presidency.”
Eurnekian’s statements to the press were given this Wednesday, November 15, at the door of the Alvear Hotel, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Retiro, before entering a meeting organized by Inter-American Commerce and Production (Cicyp).
There Milei spoke this afternoon in front of the main businessmen of the industry and the agricultural sector of Argentina, when there are four days left until the presidential runoff in which he faces the ruling party’s candidate, Sergio Massa. The Minister of Economy will do so on Thursday.

It is not the first time that the businessman questions the economist and former employee of his company. Last September, in an interview with Modo Fontevecchia On Radio Perfil (AM 1190), Eurnekian stated that Milei “is not up to the task of judging or giving an opinion about Pope Francis,” whom the libertarian candidate offended in various statements by describing him as “the evil one.”
At that time, the owner of Corporación América denied currently having employment ties with the libertarian leader and said that when he worked at the firm “he was in the area close to the Department of Finance.”
“He is a person who fulfilled his daily tasks; his bosses evaluated him very well and said that he is suitable. But from there he goes on to say those opinions about the Pope…”, he mentioned.
“Your opinions are totally out of place; (Milei) is not up to the task of judging the Pope, nor of giving an opinion, nor of giving a guideline as to what attitudes the Pope should assume. from any point of view,” Eurnekian remarked in dialogue with Jorge Fontevecchia.
Massa vs. Milei: a tense debate, with cross-complaints and the shadow of Macri and Cristina

“I did not work with Eurnekian, I do not have businessmen friends, I have businessmen I know”Massa responded to Milei’s insinuations about alleged business dealings with businessmen on behalf of the State.
Along these lines, he aimed to reveal the contradictions of the libertarian. “What seems pathetic to me is that someone who worked for ten years with one of the most important concessionaires of the Argentine State talks about depending on businessmen.”
Finally, he added: “That speaks ill of you, that you are ungrateful to Eurnekian, someone who helped you so much,” Massa ironized.
