In Nicaragua, Vice President Rosario Murillo highlighted national infrastructure and service developments, contrasting current conditions with the period between 1990 and 2006. She characterized that previous era of neoliberal governance as a time of significant poverty, declining healthcare and education spending, and the privatization of public assets such as energy and telecommunications.

In Argentina, social activist Sandra Sánchez addressed economic hardships, stating that many employed citizens struggle to meet basic needs due to debt. Sánchez also contested President Javier Milei’s claims regarding declining birth rates, arguing that economic instability and improved sexual education are the primary drivers of demographic changes rather than abortion legalization.
