The President stressed that “over the course of the year we have reduced poverty by 21%, and we have lifted nearly 9 million Argentines out of poverty.” “This should lead to reflection to those supposedly not Kirchnerists and who are supposedly on the side of the ideas of freedom but suddenly they are seized by an attack of nerdy republicanism of creatures,” he said.
Asked about his relationship with Mauricio MacriMilei assured that “we greet each other at the end of the year” and that “everyone knows that I have great affection, respect and admiration for Macri. Beyond quarrels on other lines, no one is going to change my opinion or my affection, Even if he criticizes me, I’m not going to get angry.. It seems to me that everything is within a reasonable debate.”
He was also questioned about the possibility of an alliance between La Libertad Avanza and the PRO for the legislative elections. There, the libertarian leader adhered to the idea of absorbing Macri’s party and its leaders: “He knows that I always have my doors open. […] “He is not alone.”
Finally, he referred to the possible candidacy of Karina Milei by 2025: “The decision to play or not is hers”. “Not only is he developing the political muscle, but he is the person who takes care of me from the people who try to stab me in the back,” he said on Miter radio and, in the event of a possible nomination, he warned that “we opened a flank for the traitors.”
For PRO senator, Mauricio Macri “does not have support to compete with Javier Milei”
In the midst of the deployment of Freedom Advances in the provinces to guarantee its own candidates, and surviving an internal battle against a faction that wants to ally itself decisively with the ruling party, Mauricio Macri and Javier Milei maintain a tense alliance in the anteroom of the elections 2025.
In this context, the senator Carmen Alvarez Riveroone of the references of PRO in the Upper House, analyzed that the current administration “would not have existed without a Mauricio Macri in 2007. I honor him, but today “He does not have all the necessary support and renewal to be alongside or compete with Milei.”
At the same time, the legislator pointed out that the figure of the former president “did not go away” and insisted that “he played a fundamental role” but that there is complexity in the current situation in which “he has to compete with a boy (NdR: in reference to Javier Milei) with all the youth, the power and even the support of more than 50% of society.”
Even so, Álvarez Rivero maintained that “It is necessary that they transit in parallel for the PRO to survive“and that an eventual alliance “would be a mistake because there are people who want to continue being PRO in honor of the fact that many times in this time Milei has left us uncomfortable in the ways“. Beyond that, he pointed out on El Destape Radio that “it has saved us 30 years” in terms of adjustment: “I always wanted to do that, but without any success, without any young people or any journalist paying attention to us.”
Javier Milei accused Victoria Villarruel of being “disconnected from reality”
Javier Milei reacted very critically to the vice president’s statements Victoria Villarruelwho had assured that he wins “ less than the President, the deputies, the senators, ministers, judges, diplomats and spokespersons.” In what is added as a new chapter in the internal affairs of La Libertad Avanza, the president assured that his running mate “it is disconnected from reality.”
The new crossing occurs within the framework of the freezing of the senators’ allowances decreed by Villarruel, who later spoke out against the salary he receives, on his social networks: ““My salary has been frozen for a year and the prepayment increases, taxes increase, it is not enough for anyone to live honestly off their salary,” said the vice president who earns a salary of approximately $3,764,821 without discounts.

Under that line, Milei detailed: “95% of Argentines earn much less than that. Look at the income distribution data in Indec. The average salary in the economy is 400 thousand or so. In the 25% that are better off earns between 500 thousand and 7 and a half million. If you take the highest 10%, you earn between 900 thousand and 7 and a half million. And on average the highest decile earns. 1,400,000. It seems to me that it is a very unfortunate phrase and that it does not understand the reality of the Argentines and the effort they made. But hey, the political caste lives disconnected from the reality of Argentinesthe senate has salaries of around 10 million, she is disconnected from reality and it is the world in which she lives from high politics. “It’s a very, very unfortunate phrase.”
“It’s a shame that he said something like that. His salary depends on the Executive, so when he made the salary claim I told him that I was not going to adjust it and it will continue to be that way. She told me that she wanted to earn more money and I said no. Politics with respect to the rest of the Argentines lost and that is what corresponds. In the Senate they said it couldn’t be done and now it was possible. I can vouch for the chair I am in. When pressure from society appeared, it could be stopped. I have had the Executive’s salaries stopped since the beginning of the administration“he added on radio Miter.
Finally, he referred to the intern between the two: “She accompanied me with the formula, but starting in May she stopped participating in cabinet meetings because she did not share our way of doing politics. She feels more comfortable with things that the red circle applauds. and we do not do politics for 500 thousand Argentines but for 47 million.”
