The new president of Argentina has arrived in Switzerland – and true to his promises, he, and his delegation of four, took a regular scheduled flight.

Javier Milei took a Lufthansa service from Buenos Aires to Zurich through Frankfurt. 

While on the flight, he chatted to passengers and criticised what he called the ‘socialist agenda’ of the World Economic Forum’s meeting in Davos.

According to his spokesman, taking a regular flight has saved USD 300,000 in travel costs.
