The data of poverty of the first half of the year. He 52.9% of the populationis poor. Are 25 million people. and the 18,1% indigentand. The highest levels of the last 21 years after the country erupted with the crisis and megadevaluation.
Under Milei’s government, poverty increased 11.2 points and poverty 6.2. This means that there are 5.4 million new poor and 3 million more destitute.
Las causes are known: the chainsaw of public spending, the adjustment, the Caputo devaluation and the inflation that hits harder and harder, the lack of employment and generalized job insecurity.
There are millions of working families who are not able to cover their basic needs. In August the cost of the basic basket, that is, the poverty line, was 940 thousand pesos. He minimum wage It is almost 4 times less, 262 thousand pesos.
The data is alarming: 2 out of every 3 girls and boys are poor (66.1%) and in young people between 15 and 29 years old, poverty is 60%.
Since the IMF returned to the country with Macri in 2018passing through the government of Alberto Fernandez and now with the brutal adjustment of mercypoverty took a huge leap. From 27.3% to almost double. The economy is in a tailspin, adding to more than 10 years of economic stagnation.
With the Budget 2025 Milei already said that the only priority continues to be paying the debt and that to do so he will continue cutting spending. The economic context does not matter, nor its consequences. Nor should those who have less pay for it.
The caste? the caste continues celebrating. While poverty grows exponentially, the government organizes barbecues with those who vote with it, further sinking retirees. I won’t even tell you the companies that continue to shovel it together.
The true “impoverishing model” is Milei’s to pay the IMF. Data not opinion.
