ABC News reports:
His legions of fans call him “the madman” and “the wig” due to his ferocity and unruly mop of hair. He refers to himself as “the lion.” He thinks sex education is a Marxist plot to destroy the family, views his cloned mastiffs as his “children with four paws” and has suggested people should be allowed to sell their own vital organs. He is Javier Milei, Argentina’s next president.
The only family member with whom he has a close relationship is his sister, who ran his campaign. He calls her “the boss,” and has characterized her as the architect of his rise to power. During television appearances, Milei didn’t just talk about politics. He also delved into his personal life and presented himself as an expert in tantric sex, openly discussing how he had repeatedly participated in group sex and providing tips.
Reuters reports:
Milei himself embraces his maverick status. He has lambasted Argentine Pope Francis as a socialist, mocked late soccer icon Diego Maradona, and praised British former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, little loved in Argentina for her role in the 1982 Falklands War.
He has a small circle of confidants, including his 51-year-old sister Karina, who the unmarried Milei quipped earlier this year could be his “first lady”. His other close companion was his dog Conan, who he paid $50,000 to clone after his death in 2017.
He now has at least four mastiff dogs: Murray, Milton, Robert and Lucas, named after liberal economists. Milei claims it was Conan, contacting him through a medium, who gave him the mission to be president, and says his dogs are the “best strategists in the world.”
