It seems that lying is not enough for them. When it was already clear that the electoral campaign had been a complete lie and that the adjustment was not going to be paid for by the caste but by the great majorities, they decided to celebrate it. To laugh at the people. To throw it in everyone’s face.
Invited by Javier Milei, An important group of deputies who earn millions of pesos per month met to celebrate that they vetoed the adjustment to retirees. They denied a raise of just $17,000 to those earning the minimum of $304,540, with the bonus included. That the elderly continue earning miserable salaries, while in this country the big soybean farmers, the oil magnates, the mining entrepreneurs continue amassing fortunes, while the entire economic plan is also organized in function of making an enormous fiscal adjustment to pay the debt to the IMF and the big international financial capital. Everything for the vultures, nothing for the retirees. The caste held the Olive Festival to celebrate that they govern in favor of the rich. Deputies from LLA, MID, PRO, provincial parties and a radical attended.
In these minivans the government will take the deputies who were complicit in supporting the veto on retirees to eat a barbecue in Olivos.

The story had its last chapter a week ago, when the Chamber of Deputies had met but had not reached the two-thirds necessary to reject the veto that President Javier Milei had arranged to deny the increase to retirees. That day, not only had the PRO helped the government, but the scandal was centered on the radical deputies who reversed their position regarding what they had voted just a few weeks before. But the contribution of the Federal Innovation bloc (with abstentions), made up of many friends and ex-friends of Massa, and the Peronist union bureaucrats who did not call for a national strike and mobilization to defeat this looting, was also key. They are all accomplices of the adjustment.

From your X account, at the end of the session, the agent of Freedom Advances He had celebrated by saying that “today 87 heroes put a stop to the degenerate prosecutors who tried to destroy the fiscal surplus that we Argentines managed to achieve with so much effort.” Last Sunday he confirmed this course when, upon presenting the 2025 Budget before the National Congress, he announced the “zero deficit” policy: there it was made clear, once again, that the expected continuation of the adjustment plans is on the lower-income sectors and on items such as education or health.
However, the president and his cast of friends celebrate excessively. In fact, protests began to be heard in the afternoon in front of the Quinta de Olivos against the mockery of the barbecue.
A change in popular mood is beginning to be noticed, which shows that patience with the adjustment is beginning to run out. And large mobilizations are also being prepared. For example, in the universities, the announcement of a nationwide strike and mobilization against Milei’s announced veto of the increase in university funding is being discussed. The aeronautical workers are also in the middle of a witness conflict, for the defense of Aerolíneas Argentinas, for wages and against the attack on the right to strike. The retirees, for their part, continue to organize and mobilize, and there are also struggles for wages or against layoffs in different parts of the country. It is necessary to organize from below everywhere, without waiting for any traitorous bureaucrat, to support each fight and mobilize en masse at each call, and to impose a large active national strike on the union leaders, preparing the conditions to defeat Milei’s plan as a whole.
