He Director of the National Institute of Statistics (INE), Diego Aboaldenied that there was a delay in the publication of the final data of the Population, Households and Housing Census 2023 After receiving criticism from the Senator of the Broad Front (FA), Daniel Caggiani.

“To arrive at the final results, indirect population estimates are made”

“Argentina published the final results 20 months after the closing of the census process, that is, 1 year and 8 months later. Paraguay He presented it 2 or 3 days ago, when he closed it in November, that is, 1 year and 9 months later,” Aboal compared.
