An hour after the official January inflation of 20.6% was known, the governor of Buenos Aires,
Axel Kicillof
, strongly criticized the economic policies of Javier Milei and
threatened to go to court
to claim the
funds for Education and Transportation
that the Government decided to cut.
Furthermore, he took aim at the President for the
omnibus law
: "
He did not write it nor did he read it
."
"The province of Buenos Aires
begins to demand through administrative means
the resources that the Milei government cuts. We are going to do it
with a letter to the minister (Luis) Caputo
and we will follow it
with all the necessary instances," Kicillof said in a speech at the Atlantic Coast.
"It was a
frustrated season
, because we had been breaking records. What happens is an exclusive product, which is an economic program that is not the one he presented in his electoral campaign, a classic
adjustment or imbalance program
," Kicillof said and highlighted that the data They arise, for example, from the "DNI Account" of Banco Provincia.
Before the governor's words, the announcer asked the
Minister of Education, Alberto Sileoni
, and the
Minister of Transportation, Jorge D'Onofrío,
to come to the
improvised stage
.
Thus, Kicillof
set the scene
to criticize the government of Javier Milei linked to funds from those areas that the Nation did not transfer to the provinces.
"We are being the subject of
very strong campaigns,
of
disinformation campaigns
by the national government.
The devaluation
occurred on December 12, it is
the deepest in memory of
Argentine economic history. It was resolved by Minister Caputo and Milei and it is 120%, Macri began his administration with a devaluation of 60%," Kicillof started.
"I want to be descriptive and
adjective as little as possible
. The DNU that is still in force, although it has some articles that have been objected to by Justice, and seven days later the Omnibus Law is presented, an embarrassing episode. It is presented as a project of the Government but it is not,
Milei did not write it, Milei did not read that
, a good part of the officials did not know him," highlighted the Buenos Aires president.

The governor of the province of Buenos Aires referred to the President's voice-over warning: "I'm going to leave you without money, I'm going to melt you all down."
"It is a law that, beyond the failure it had, seems to be something that was part of the government when Milei was running for elections. When he presented this law he said that it will be a substantial change for Argentina, and recently he
said that it did not matter
"added Kicillof and stressed that "it does not have a single article that would suit the province of Buenos Aires."
Kicillof listed the cuts he attributes to Milei and the presidential attacks.
"In the framework of the discussion of the law, we heard adjectives about the deputies and the governors. I am going to repeat it,
coimeros told the deputies, useful idiots
, when the law was approved. In the middle of that, they began: ' If the law is not approved, I'm going to melt them down, associated with the governors. How can we not associate one thing with the other? If education and transportation items were later cut," he said.
"It is not the governors,
it is the society
, the people of each of the provinces. No one is saved. When the adjustment is transferred to the transfers, it is transferred to the people of the provinces. It is a lie that the province of Buenos Aires had preferential treatment during this time. An attempt is made to establish this alleged arbitrariness to generate some problem with the other provinces," highlighted the provincial leader and highlighted that the province is the one with the fewest public employees.

The Buenos Aires governor said that the Base Bill was prepared for "a candidate who lost," referring to Patricia Bullrich.
"They cut two resources that came not to the Province, either to that of Santa Fe or to that of Córdoba. The FONID, a teaching incentive, which has existed since 1998. There were ten different presidents and they all respected the FONID, it goes to the pockets of the teachers in the province of Buenos Aires, which sometimes represents 10% of teacher salaries. We are going to claim for these funds, due to an arbitrary political decision of the National Government," Kicillof said.
"He cut the transportation compensation fund. When he cuts and decides not to deposit the corresponding funds, the province of Buenos Aires was obliged to put up $900 million. And that goes to the ticket,
not to melt us but to those who have to take the bus
. We are also going to accompany this situation, due to this abandonment, this desertion of the national government," the governor continued.
And on the other hand, Kicillof announced: "We had also committed ourselves to federalism, which the national government ignores, with the 135 municipalities of the province of Buenos Aires, carrying out a fund for financial support to the 135 districts, it was resolved with norms that support it in the Legislature, and today I have given the indication to all the municipalities of the province, as had been agreed.
The governor spoke within the framework of the "summer conference" in the town of Pehuén Co, in the municipality of Coronel Rosales, in the south of the province of Buenos Aires.
Before,
Augusto Costa
, Minister of Production of Buenos Aires, highlighted that during the season there were 1,500,000 visitors in the summer in the province, a
lower percentage than in the summer of 2023, and spoke of a "frustrating season
. "
