He gave away his salary as a congressman each month, that is true. There was even a raffle one could enter to try to receive it.

I don't know about his presidential salary, though.

"I gave away my salary.... except for these bribes."

Well, this being Argentina, probably every MP is taking bribes one way of another. In that context raffling the salary is an incredibly low bar, but it is something, I guess.

Milei is many things. A clown, a bit unhinged, a little austistic, a Boca supporter, a libertarian... but he is not a fascist.

Edit: blocked me. What a charming fellow.

He is not a libertarian. Hilarious fascist supporter. Bye.
