Cristina Kirchner responds to criticism of her husband's salary increase. She says: "Can't you think of a better excuse than to blame me for a decree that I signed 14 years ago?" The President announced that he would repeal a regulation of 2010 which triggered automatic salary increases.
The increase in the salaries of the President and his Cabinet was almost 50%. The announcement was met with a backlash on social media, with many accusing the President of being too soft on the poor.
