Overview

• During a speech at the Inter-American Council of Commerce and Production on August 28, Javier Milei quipped that Boca Juniors' president was chosen by River Plate supporters.
• He turned to Economy Minister Luis Caputo and added, “¿No habrás sido vos?”, extending the jab with a pointed aside.
• He restated that he once supported Boca but stopped due to club decisions he considered improper.
• Coverage notes this is part of a recurring pattern, including Milei’s involvement against Juan Román Riquelme in Boca’s most recent elections.
• No new response from Riquelme was reported, with his last notable comment in mid-2024 wishing Milei success and the country’s progress.
