President Milei's reaction

The president was giving a speech criticizing left-wing leaders, calling them “zurditos”, when he fainted. While the student was being treated, the press was only allowed to record the public.

The president's reaction, as a public figure, was criticized by opponents, including left-wing congresswoman Myriam Bregman. On her social media, she commented: “A boy faints and Milei makes fun of him. A shame”.

After the student faints, Milei asks her sister and general secretary of the presidency: “Another?” and, directed towards the audience, he mocks “Yes, I name them and they are infallible“, causing the audience to laugh when referring to young people on the left. Still during the speech, according to Associated Press News, another student is sick.

All the fainting spells were followed by jokes made by the president. When the student fainted, the president mocked her while talking about communism. “Mentioning communists is so dangerous that it always creates problems”said Milei.
