Javier Milei, the far-right president of Argentina, was overshadowed by an unexpected episode during his attendance at a gala in Washington DC, a state he has visited as a guest to witness the inauguration of Donald Trump as president of the United States, after he was overshadowed by the presence of the Mexican Altagracia G ez Sierra.
Milei was recognized at the Hispanic Inaugural Ball with the “Tit de la Reforma Econ ica” award. However, his acceptance speech at the gala was unexpectedly overshadowed by a distraction in the room.
On stage Milei said: "Hello everyone. I never thought I would feel so at home as I do now. Good evening everyone. I would like to thank those present and the organizers who made this evening possible. It is an honor for me to be here and receive the Tit Award for Economic Reform on this day."
The Argentine president was giving it his all in his long speech, but all eyes were focused on the tables in front of him, where Mexican businesswoman Altagracia G ez Sierra, the Mexican government's liaison with national and international businessmen, was sitting down.
At least that was what was seen in videos circulating on social media, which reveal that while Milei was giving her speech, much of the president's attention was focused on her.
