The government claims that pensions beat inflation during its administration. Former Economy Minister Martín Guzmán rejected this claim. “The minimum pension in real terms fell by approximately 6%,” he said.
Former Minister of Economy, Martin Guzmanwent out to deny This Wednesday at President Javier Milei: “is giving false information. During his administration, the minimum pension in real terms fell by approximately 6%.” To defend his veto of a law that increased pensions, the head of state assured that they had beaten inflation by 5%.
Discussions about pensions did not stop after the presidential veto. While the opposition tries to gather the necessary votes in Congress to reject the president’s rejection, Milei today shared a post from his Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, where He claims that pensions increased during his administration.
He went out to the crossroads Martin Guzman. On social network X, he stated that “The minimum pension fell by approximately 6%“. How does it arrive at that account? Taking into account the mobile assets and the bonuses given by the previous president Alberto Fernández. Guzmán points out that, since December 2023, the mobile assets have grown approximately 10%, but the bonuses given by Javier Milei have fallen by 37%.
The discussion does not end there. For Guzman, Minister Caputo makes two mistakes or traps to say that the minimum pension won against inflation. “First, it starts in November 2023. Second, the bonus is not counted. But what matters to retirees is how much they earn, so the bonus money also counts,” he said.

The regulation, moreover, was vetoed by President Javier Milei after the explicit rejection of the Executive.
