Ah yes because murdering your own law abiding army serving citizens who are 100% a part of your society is the same as fighting a terrorist group who runs a region which isn't part of your country for over a decade.
100% the same, let's mark jewish houses in Berlin since they're also obviously nazis. /s
Imagine being so morally dishonest and inconsistent that you are willing to criticize Milei for things that Peronists have been doing for decades (on a larger scale and for absolutely shameful reasons). Also, the malice of selling an estimate as if it were a fact.
It seems wrong to me to look at a specific expense and imply that public funds are being wasted. Public spending cannot be zero, no matter who governs. What must be ensured is that the money that is actually spent is spent with care not to waste and that it serves a purpose that benefits the country.
In this case, it would be interesting if instead of saying "it cost the state more than half a million dollars" they said if it could have been done for less money (considering that he is a president and the mobility limitations that entails) and if the the objective of the trip can be considered in pursuit of the general interest of moving the country forward.
The way it is written lacks logical support and shows a simple attempt at a cheap, ineffective blow.
As a note of interest, the used presidential plane that the previous leftist government bought does not spend the same as a commercial one, because it is outdated, it is hyper inefficient in autonomy and performance, requires constant maintenance, is not efficient with fuel among other things (it needs to be "taken for a walk" empty constantly because if it stops it breaks more and those repairs are much more expensive than flying it "pointlessly" to prevent it from breaking).
.
That's why it is more expensive (much more expensive) than a regular flight. Oh but complaining about current administration spending while turning a blind eye to the spending of the previous administration is free!
