The Libertarian deputy Juliana Santillán He said, in a television debate with residents of the Garrahan, that “the total basic basket of a family of 4 members, in the month of May, According to INDEC is $ 360,000“. The statement of the official legislator quickly went viral since it misrepresented the data which the National Institute of Statistics and Census provided.
In detail, according to the latest official data of INDEC – of April 2025 -, the data given by Deputy Santillán It is the necessary income that a single person requires to overcome the poverty line. However, if the formation of a type home – with two adults and two minors – the necessary figure is taken up to $ 1,110,063.
How much a family needs to overcome the poverty line
The controversy about the necessary income required by a family to overcome the poverty line arose as a result of the television debate that maintained the Libertarian deputy with two residents of the Garrahan hospital. “I am saying it here so that they do not operate,” Santillán explained when giving the wrong data.
Is that the deputy assured that $ 360,000 They are sufficient for a family of 4 members to cover the total basic basket (CBT) when in reality the seller of INDEC Confirm that amount but equivalent to what a single person requires to overcome the poverty lineand one a family group as the legislator said.
According to April 2025, a type of 4 members requires $ 1,110,063 To overcome the poverty line.
The CBT It is composed of a Food set for the monthly survival of an adultto which a BASKET OF PROPERTY AND SERVICES. However, it should be noted that within this analysis they are on the outside, for example, vital expenses such as the payment of the rental and maintenance of services of a home.
The value of the CBT increased by 34%in the last year. It should be remembered that Indec still pending the Implementation of the new baskets with which inflation will be measured and the cost of essential goods and services.
The crossing of a libertarian deputy with two residents of the Garrahan hospital
Beyond the controversy for INDEC data, during the debate in TN Santillán also dismissed the claim of the residents of the Garrahan hospital from the beginning and shot: “Did you complain in Kirchnerism that did not reach the basic basket?”
During the discussion, one of the residents tried to dodge the approach to the political crack and replied: “At this time Kirchnerism is not there, He is not ruling by decision of the population. At this time the people who have to take care of our situation is the Ministry of Health of the Nation, because they wanted to take that position”
“Could you live with 797,000 pesos? We are doctors, we have a registration, we give the body every day. We work from Monday to Friday, eight hours, ”denounced María Belen Mansilla, professional at the Pediatric Health Center.

Later, Santillán sought to justify himself with the numbers that the presidential spokesman Manuel Adorni gave about the number of administrative workers that the claw has. “I would ask the government to please put a lot of magnifying glass in those administrative expenses that do not have to be, we don’t know where they come from and what they are. It is 953 people about 478 ”, The deputy expressed.
But the debate given by Santillán is based – again – on a false premise disseminated by the Government. According to data from 2024 of the department of Hospital statistics, 68% of hospital workers (3,190) They are part of the care level – that is, the one that requires being in contact with patients – while administrative staff is composed By 473 people, no 953 as Adorni denounced.
Finally, Mansilla referred to the offer made by the government for hospital workers: “Does a non -remunerative bonus seem in accordance? We agree with an increase that impacts our salary receipt, as surely the impact on your salary receipt. I cannot rent with 800,000 pesos today and it is not the salary that corresponds to my colleagues or me. “
