Milei struggles with internal conflicts and alienated allies

Argentina, 19 May 2026: Milei faced internal conflicts in his government and distance from allies, according to El País. A dispute between Martín Menem and Santiago Caputo led to the postponement of a meeting of the government's political table, and Milei defended Menem, saying a controversy had been 'prefabricated', while calling Caputo 'a brother'. Clarín described a crisis of political leadership and reported complaints over party affiliations involving Karina Milei, the Menems and Caputo. Juan Bautista Mahiques denied links to Toviggino and Tapia and said this is not the moment for Milei to fill the Court.
