"We are going to repeal that decree and roll back any increase," said the president. Javier Milei was in the midst of controversy over an increase of almost 50% in his salary and that of the Cabinet.

"Every day that passes we find a new rule that favored politicians and harmed Argentines," Milei said. "The ones who are harmed will be the politicians," said Milei in response to a question about the salary increase decree by Cristina Kirchner, the president of Argentina.
