The 30% increase in the salaries of deputies and senators, signed by
Victoria Villarruel
as president of the Senate and
Martín Menem
as president of Deputies, provoked the reaction of president
Javier Milei
who announced a project to freeze these increases.
However, this Saturday the Peronist deputy
Victoria Tolosa Paz
denounced that
the cabinet increased its salary by 48% in just one month.
"With the flag of austerity, Milei lies to us. The President lies to all Argentines. The President signed a decree on February 29 where an increase was applied to all hierarchical positions of the national Executive Branch but then he makes a public staging of that the unfair increase is that of the deputies and senators," Tolosa Paz launched on social networks.
"Do you know how much the salary of the President, the Ministers, the Secretaries and the Undersecretaries of State increased? It increased by 48% between January and February," he added.
"For that reason we are presenting a Bill with deputies from Unión por la Patria that allows for the repeal of the increase granted by the authorities of the National Congress for national legislators, but we also ask that the increase that Milei decreed on February 29 be repealed. and that directly impacted the settlement of her own salary and that of senior officials in her government by 48%," remarked the former Minister of Social Development of Alberto Fernández.
"At the same time, in the same project we ask that the transfer of equal increases for senior hierarchical positions in all branches of the state be suspended: legislative, executive and judicial. A Secretary of State in January received 3,282,709.47. pesos and in February he obtained a salary of 4,864,945.09 pesos. The increase was a real 48%. Do you want to know how this increase and Milei's double standards were constructed?" he added
