Javier Milei is an interesting fellow. As we’ve previously covered, he has a superhero alter ego and believes he met his first dog in a previous life 2,000 years ago when he was a gladiator and the dog was a lion.


Yeah, so his brain might not be the best, but don’t worry, his policies are also bad. As noted by the New York Times, “Inflation doubled during his first month in office … poverty rates have shot up; retail sales have plummeted.”


Despite this, some people still like him. For example, Milei was recently invited to Prague to accept an award from the Liberální Institut for all his hard work destroying the country — I mean, “implementing free economic policies.”


The problem with this claim is that the Liberální Institut says it didn’t happen.



“According to the newspaper E15, the organizer of the conference, Argentine President Javier Milei accepted an invitation to Prague from the Liberal Institute and the Anglo-American University,” reports Czech outlet Seznam Zprávy.


While Milei was presented with an award while onstage, “the current director of the institute, Martin Pánek, states that the organization is not behind the initiative.”


"The President of Argentina did not come at the invitation of the Liberal Institute, because we never invited him," said the institute in a statement, per Seznam Zprávy.



E15 has since responded to this by alleging a weird name ownership dispute within the Liberal Institute, insisting that the award Milei received was legitimate, at least in their own terms.


I don’t know about all that — but I do know that all of Milei’s trips abroad are costing the country a fuckton of money. Maybe actually make them meaningful next time instead of flying somewhere to get an award worth its weight in Monopoly money.
