Anyone have a link to the speech dubbed in English?

I've just seen some clips on X. He comes across as kind of a maniac. But maybe it takes a maniac to turn things around there.

My brother sent me this. It was hilarious.

Milei definitely seems like at any moment he is going to have a nervous breakdown. He definitely is on the spectrum.

He definitely is on the spectrum. It will be interesting to see how things shake out for him. If things don't go well in Iran and Trump goes down in flames it won't help Argentina at all. Trump suffers and so does Milei.

Let's assume that Milei doesn't make it through his term. Either he has a heart attack or a helicopter has to take him out. Who would be the one taking over? Would be funny if Villeruel takes over.

Yes Villaruel would immediately take over if something happened to Milei


This is strictly outlined in Article 88 of the Argentine Constitution, which states that in the event of the illness, absence from the capital, death, resignation, or removal of the President, the Executive Power shall be exercised by the Vice President of the Nation. She would serve out the remainder of his term until December 10, 2027.

If a scenario were to occur where both Milei and Villarruel were incapacitated, resigned, or removed, Argentina's Law of Acephaly (Law of Headlessness) kicks in. The temporary line of succession would then fall to:

1. The Provisional President of the Senate (Currently Bartolomé Abdala).
2. The President of the Chamber of Deputies (Currently Martín Menem).
3. The President of the Supreme Court (Currently Horacio Rosatti).

In that double-vacancy scenario, the official who takes over acts only as a caretaker. Congress would then have to convene within 48 hours to formally elect a new president from among current senators, deputies, or provincial governors to finish the term.

I just don't know if people will have the patience over the next 2 years. But there are no viable alternatives either. People are frustrated but no easy out. Lots of people in interviews are struggling which is to be expected. It will be interesting to see if Villaruel gets traction over the next 2 years. She is more like Trump vs. Milei. She wants to protect the local industries.
