President Javier Milei confirmed that he will go to vote this Sunday in the elections in Boca Juniors to support Mauricio Macri, who is the vice candidate in the formula headed by Andrés Ibarra.
“Yes,” Milei wrote to confirm the information that journalist Martín Liberman gave on the social network X and confirmed that he would go to vote.
Milei is one of the active members in a position to vote this Sunday in the elections in which the Juan Román Riquelme-Jorge Ameal and Andrés Ibarra-Mauricio Macri formulas will compete.
“I just wrote to President Milei and he confirmed that he is going to vote tomorrow at the bombonera. He has already stated that His dream is to see Palermo in Boca again. “It would be almost a sung vote for someone who dreams that his club will return to what it was during the time of Mauricio Macri,” wrote Liberman in the post to which the president responded.
The libertarian president, very critical of Juan Román Riquelme’s management, thus ended up confirming the versions that indicated that he would vote for the Ibarra-Macri formula. The former president and current vice candidate was one of those who had hinted that the leader of La Libertad Avanza would go to La Bombonera.
“He told me he was going to vote. I haven’t spoken to him in a week, but dreams of seeing Martín (Palermo) leading the team“Macri had said in an interview with TyC Sports.
Milei is active member number 76,296 and will vote at table 20. Voting will take place in the tents set up on the playing field of the Xeneize stadium.
The new President had already made concrete statements in favor of the Ibarra-Macri formula, who in the campaign announced that he would hire Palermo as a new coach if he won the elections.
The day after his victory over Sergio Massa in the November 19 runoff, the President wrote on the social network “crazy desire to return” to La Bombonera.
Milei is a self-confessed Boca fan, although he admitted that he lost his passion when “populism settled in the club“, an idea that he related to the returns of former players like Riquelme and Fernando Gago.
“It was from Boca until Mr. Angelici brought him to Riquelme to steal. It wasn’t a little bit of Boca, it was intensely Boca, I have a star in the museum and box. It’s enough for me to live in a populist country and also be a fan of a populist team. And when they repatriated him to Gago I became anti. How can they bring a five who doesn’t score, Gago has less of a mark than La Salada,” he said in an interview with radio Miter before becoming head of state.
Milei also offered his collaboration to former President Macri so that Boca recovers “greatness and brilliance” as in his last administration, associated with the winning sports cycle led by Carlos Bianchi and which had Riquelme and Palermo as two of its greatest emblems.
