Venezuelan ruler Nicolás Maduro invoked the spirit of Diego Armando Maradona and asked him to bother Argentine President Javier Milei.
Maduro intervened on Wednesday at an "anti-fascist" congress in Caracas, where he invoked the late soccer player, who was a great personal friend and a defender of chavismo, to scare the Argentine president and keep him from sleeping.
"Diego, can I ask you something? Pull Milei's legs while he's sleeping, show up in the room and pull his legs, ¡Diego!", she exclaimed in a mocking tone.
"Do you think it's a good idea to pull his legs? To not let him sleep, boy? So much harm he does to the Argentine people," he expressed.
The Venezuelan dictator showed the Hublot watch valued at over $30,000 that the Argentine star gave him during his campaign closing in 2018 and which, he said, brings him good luck.
"Here is Diego with us, Diego of the people, how we need Diego to tell Milei his four truths," he expressed at the event, which was broadcast on state television.
It is common for Maduro to utter all kinds of nonsense in public without any shame. Since 2013, when he recounted that upon entering a chapel to pray he felt that the late Hugo Chávez appeared to him in the form of a "little bird" and gave him his blessing, there have been several of his ramblings and foolishness.
In August, he accused businessman Elon Musk and Milei of being Satanists after they expressed their suspicions of fraud in the Venezuelan elections and their antipathy towards him.
In 2019, Venezuelan journalist David Placer stated in a book that Maduro is "a devoted santero follower of Sai Baba" and that despite promoting himself as "Christian," he is a client of santería babalaos and has a witch in Miami who regularly travels to Caracas to read his tarot cards.
According to Placer, the sorcerer is named Cirilo Enrique Rodulfo, he was part of the Armed Forces and charges very high fees for his services.
