Argentine political opposition to Milei economic policy

Overview

Opposition members of the Unión por la Patria party have leveled criticisms against the economic management of President Javier Milei’s administration, specifically targeting Economy Minister Luis Caputo.

National Deputy Cecilia Moreau challenged the Minister’s credibility regarding suggestions for citizens to use foreign currency savings, arguing that austerity measures and rising utility costs have increased financial uncertainty. She further contended that deregulation has disproportionately impacted families and women.

National Deputy Nicolás Trotta echoed these criticisms, stating that the administration is disconnected from local reality. Trotta highlighted a growing crisis in household debt, noting that credit is increasingly used for basic subsistence. He also cited the destruction of over 31,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (PyMEs) and advocated for legislative interventions such as interest rate reductions and grace periods for debtors.
