Axel Kicillof crossed the government of Javier Milei for PAMI medications and the charging of fees in public hospitals to foreigners: “It is difficult to measure the damage that Milei is doing”

The Buenos Aires governor, Axel Kicillofaimed directly against the president Javier Milei after making known the measures of the ruling party in reference to the PAMI medication coverage and foreigners’ access to public health and education. “When you look at the real numbers, foreign admissions in Buenos Aires hospitals in 2023 are 0.81%. It’s irrelevant“.

Furthermore, the Peronist leader denounced that “the withdrawals and desertions of the national government”, such as the medication on PAMI’s medications, is something “tremendous” and that “sometimes it is difficult to measure the damage that Milei is doing.” Finally, regarding his relationship with the provinces, the governor stated: “It causes us problems and takes away resources. It’s a double movement“.

Axel Kicillof’s criticism of the tariffing of education for foreigners

Following the Government’s announcement, which enabled National Universities to pay education fees for non-resident foreign students, Kicillof was blunt and explained that it is a “communication mode“of the Government. “It has become a government that in terms of communication is a Government propelled to scandals. Every day they release another atrocity. I think we should not miss any of them, they turn a new leaf, a scandal and we have to go out and respond to the barbarities that they say“.

In this sense, the Buenos Aires official explained: “In the issue of students in national universities, the percentage of foreign students in Argentine public universities 2022 is 4.25%“And then he added: “They then put together a bunch of notes and tell you that it is full of foreign students.”

“What the law states, the dean of exacts said yesterday, is that university students, in order to be students They have to have residences. That is to say that They live in Argentina”, detailed Kicillof who later sentenced: “The Alberdi Constitution says that all the rights enshrined in the Constitution are for all men in the world who want to populate Argentine soil.”

Along the same lines, the Buenos Aires leader assured that the percentage of foreigners treated in public health “it’s irrelevant“. In this sense, he elaborated: “When one looks at the real numbers, Nicolás Kreplak told me, in Buenos Aires hospitals, Foreign boarding schools in 2023 represent 0.81%“.

On the other hand, he added: “0.22% of consultations in Buenos Aires hospitals are from foreigners. Although they are charged, in general it is a population that does not have access to certain purchasing power, so does not move the needle“.

Kicillof assured that only “0.81%” of hospitalizations during 2023 corresponded to foreigners.

On this point, Kicillof also assured that the Milei Government “what it has done is steal resources from the Argentine provinces.” “What he was in charge of It is not to transfer resources that have to do with the transportation fund, with the FONID, they are all resources that are not discretionarywhich the President chooses whether to give them or not. They are supported and supported by laws, agreements, They are all violations of laws“.

“The only thing he did was to benefit the City of Buenos Aires with the theme of co-participationwithin the framework of the Milanese pact,” he noted and then warned: “One gets the impression that if because of that misery, in terms of what the national government is keeping, achieves legislative agreements and the truth is that it is very regrettable“.

“Us Demand in hospitals grew by 30%due to the problems that exist in accessing treatments and medications, privately, and now the PAMI is added. Then it throws problems at us and takes away resources. It is a double movement,” concluded the governor.
