Javier Milei's negative image reaches its peak after the audio recordings of alleged bribes to Libertarian officials.

President Javier Milei 's digital image has suffered a sharp decline in recent days following the release of audio recordings revealing alleged bribery payments from laboratories to officials in his administration. According to a report prepared by the consulting firm Ad Hoc, the negative image of the president increased seven points compared to the monthly average and reached 59% this Thursday , the highest level of the month of August.

The analysis argues that the scandal involving the former director of the National Agency for Disability , Diego Spagnuolo , is the main factor behind this increase. According to the study, more than 243,000 mentions of the case were recorded in the last 72 hours, with sustained growth that continues to rise. "The term 'Milei' reached its peak of mentions yesterday, driven by the direct association with 'Karina' and 'Spagnuolo,' which were among the five concepts most linked to the President in weekly digital conversations," highlights the survey accessed by NA.

The impact of the Spagnuolo case on the president's perception surpasses even the repercussions generated by his speech in Davos at the beginning of the year. For analysts, this highlights the severity of the communications crisis facing the ruling party, as the level of negativity surrounding Javier Milei has grown abruptly and reached unprecedented levels during his administration.

"On August 21, the negative image of the President was seven points higher than the monthly average for August," the report released this Friday notes. It also emphasizes that Milei's association with terms linked to corruption cases could have a lasting effect, as online conversation volume remains high and trending upward.

The fact that the ANDIS and Spagnuolo cases fall on Javier Milei has a direct correlation with his sister and Secretary General of the Presidency, Karina Milei. The official is mentioned in the leader's audio recordings, and he claims she receives 3% of the fees. This direct relationship creates a direct link with the president, who has yet to comment on the matter.

Added to this is the fact that the president and his sister are also involved in the $LIBRA case, which stems from the cryptocurrency's promotion, which plummeted to zero. Both are mentioned in statements made by whistleblowers in the United States and add a new case of alleged corruption to their files, further reinforcing the negative comments surrounding the Milei siblings in both cases.
