According to a study by Atlas-Intel, in January, before the token scandal, 55% of Argentinians had a positive view of Javier Milei; however, in February this figure decreased to 45%. At the same time, the share of citizens rating the president negatively rose from 41% to 50%.
The publication La Nacion also published data from Analog as, according to which 48.7% of respondents believe the level of corruption in the Argentine government is high or significant. Moreover, 60% of those surveyed associate the corruption scandal specifically with the Libra token. Additionally, 51.1% are confident that the president's sister, Karina Milei, played a key role in promoting the project. It was previously reported that fraudsters convinced Javier Milei to support the token through her mediation.
Recall that in February the president publicly supported the Libra token, but it soon became clear that the project was fraudulent. As a result, the token's value plummeted by 95%, after which Milei deleted his message. Recently, the Argentine prosecutor's office demanded to freeze the invested funds.
