"That’s an incredibly bold claim. When did he say that and what was the context?" See Wikipedia: "In a June 2022 interview, when asked about his stance on the sale of children, Milei initially said that "it depends" But being a populist, apparently he took that back after some public outcry. And when you want to abolish the whole state, then it is really not rational to use the state to enforce some radical ideology with the help of the state in my opinion. But I won't discuss forcing a 10 year old rape victim to carry a baby in the name of life here any further.

I’m not sure Wikipedia is a good source for what a populist right wing politician said. Wikipedia can be insanely inaccurate on political topics. I have no idea what milei said, I’m just stating how bad I find Wikipedia sometimes on political topics

  But they do include sources, so you can check out the original: https://www.minutoar.com.ar/actualidad/2022/6/29/javier-milei-vuelve-ser-centro-de-polemicas-por-sus-declaraciones-sobre-la-venta-de-ninos-52333.html https://www.minutoar.com.ar/actualidad/2022/6/29/javier-mile...

    And according to this link that one that you're referencing is fake news: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/lnmas/javier-milei-no-estoy-de-acuerdo-con-la-venta-de-ninos-nid28072022/ https://www.lanacion.com.ar/lnmas/javier-milei-no-estoy-de-a...

    Please use as source a reputable newspapers. The fake news campaign to attempt to destroy Milei's reputation was enormous. I wasn't able to watch a youtube video without seeing an anti-milei fear-mongering advertisement in the month before the election.

Wikipedia cites 'latin-american.news', a two-year-old domain with a global website rank of 10,989,423. For comparison, 'thelaundryspot.com', the official website of a laundromat in Austin, TX, has a global rank of 8,737,785. This might as well be a sourced from the Wikipedia admin's blog. edit: Lol, in the last hour, the awful source was removed and the ridiculous quote removed. The wiki now reads: "When questioned on the topic of selling children, Milei initially responded ambiguously [womp womp] but later clarified his opposition, stating, "Obviously, I do not agree with the sale of children.""

  Just getting asked such nonsense is indicative of a media trying to paint a narrative. The next level of such nonsense would be framing it like, “Do you think both parents should have a say in the sale of children?” or “Would your universal flat tax on the sale of livestock apply to the sale of children?”.

    But you are aware, there are anarchocapitalists that would allow selling children? So even if that quote is wrong(so far I have not found the original radio interview confirming or negating it), it is not a weird question(especially given his other statements). And the answer could just be "no". No narrative painting in my point of view. But I lack the original transcript.
