The interview that's making waves in the world of politics
According to sources within La Libertad Avanza, Cerimedo, who oversees Milei's highly successful digital strategy, has worked on campaigns for prominent political leaders such as José Antonio Kast and Jair Bolsonaro. Furthermore, he is closely associated with the framework of Steve Bannon, former advisor to Donald Trump in the White House and a key figure in political communication during presidential campaigns.
Tucker Carlson: An Influential Figure
Tucker Carlson is far from being an inconspicuous figure. For a long time, he hosted "Tucker Carlson Tonight," the most popular cable news program in the history of the United States, which at its peak had an estimated viewership of 3.5 million every night. In April of this year, he was dismissed by Fox News and has since conducted his reporting through streaming platforms. His influence and media reach continue to be significant, as was recently demonstrated when Donald Trump chose to grant an exclusive interview to Carlson, overshadowing other Republican Party candidates during a debate on Fox News.
International Political Implications
Tucker Carlson's impact is not confined to the United States. The theory of the "Great Replacement" has gained notoriety in Europe and has been adopted by right-wing and center-right factions. For example, in Spain, the Vox political party, a right-wing party, has incorporated this theory into its public discourse. The theory posits that a "globalist elite" seeks to "destroy and replace Western civilization" through immigration.
Carlson's Connections with Prominent Political Figures
Tucker Carlson traveled to Brazil in June 2022 to interview President Jair Bolsonaro, four months before the elections in which Bolsonaro was defeated by Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In that interview, Steve Bannon compared Bolsonaro's movement to the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) phenomenon led by Trump, highlighting similarities between the supporters and detractors of both leaders.
The Significance of the Interview for Javier Milei
With the arrival of Tucker Carlson, a journalist with significant influence among Trump and Bolsonaro supporters, Javier Milei aims to solidify his position within the anti-globalist political sphere that has gained traction in various parts of the world. This movement has also manifested itself in local politics, as evidenced by a caravan in La Matanza (Buenos Aires Province) in which Milei was joined by "El Dipy," and Carolina Píparo, the latter sporting a cap with the slogan "Make America Great Again".
An Encounter That Shapes Political Direction
Javier Milei's interview with Tucker Carlson is a politically significant event in an electoral context. The American journalist, with his connections to prominent political leaders, has the potential to influence perceptions of Milei and his campaign. This encounter underscores the growing interconnection between politics and media on an international scale.
