Milei's Controversial Madrid Speech: €7,500 Tickets and a Cryptocurrency Scandal

Javier Milei's Madrid Appearance Sparks Controversy Amidst Cryptocurrency Scandal Madrid, Spain – Argentine economist and presidential candidate Javier Milei's recent visit to Madrid to speak at an economic forum has generated significant controversy. The event, held at the Palacio de Vistalegre, saw ticket prices reaching a staggering €7,500 for VIP access. This exorbitant cost has drawn criticism, particularly given the forum's sponsorship by a cryptocurrency company with a controversial past. The sponsorship is a point of contention, as many Argentinians lost millions of pesos in a cryptocurrency scam linked to the sponsoring firm. One protester stated, "It's public knowledge that the crypto was a scam." The video also shows footage of protests outside the event. Milei himself addressed the controversy in a recent interview, stating, "I did not promote it." Despite this denial, his appearance at the event, which included other prominent figures like Esperanza Aguirre and Albert Rivera, has raised eyebrows among those who feel he is profiting from the cryptocurrency scandal. The high cost of entry and the forum's sponsorship create a complex narrative, highlighting the intersection of politics, finance, and public perception in the digital age. Milei's third visit to Spain, each time marked by controversy, adds another layer to the ongoing story.
