Argentina's Vice Minister of Economy Calls Plan Unsustainable, Says Only 20% Thrive

Argentina’s Vice Minister of Economy, a Chilean national, warned that the government’s economic plan leaves only about 20 % of the population well‑off and cannot sustain the country’s economy. He described the plan as “well‑Argentine” but argued it fails to generate broad growth. The remarks were made amid criticism of President Javier Milei’s administration, with some commentators likening Milei to a “new version of Hood Robin.”

The vice‑minister’s comments highlight concerns over the plan’s limited impact and its ability to address Argentina’s broader economic challenges.
