After the changes in the formulas to increase pensions based on inflation were made official,
a former advisor to President Javier Milei came out to harshly question the Government
.
This is
Carlos Rodríguez
z, one of the president's economic advisors, who resigned from La Libertad Avanza after making controversial statements against the homosexual community during an interview.
"They tell me that the retirement adjustment is little because it is Alberto's formula.
Cynics
, that formula
is indexed by the minimum wage that Milei sets and has it low on purpose
," he wrote through his X account (former Twitter).
Rodríguez reported that he received his March pension and that after three months (December, January and February) receiving the same amount, he only had an increase of 27%. "No wonder they have a fiscal surplus. I already know who is paying it," he complained. the former presidential economic advisor.
“It seems to me that they are liquidating my retirement...no wonder they say they have a fiscal surplus.
Is that the way to reduce public spending that the Austrian Economics manual recommends? ”He added during a first complaint in February.
The former vice minister of Economy directly targeted the head of state for the pensions that are received and an update - which in his analysis - is insufficient.

The Presidential Spokesperson confirmed that it is a 62% recomposition.
"Milei/Caputo's fiscal surplus
is based on maintaining a very low minimum wage
and that helps it collect more taxes and pay fewer pensions," he explained on social networks.
Retirements and pensions will increase by 12.5% "plus an advance on mobility corresponding to the month of June 2024" which would be 13.2%, as clarified in the Ministry of Economy, which gives a total of 27.35 % on account of the increase that will be granted in June.
And the inflation adjustment for the previous 2 months will only be applied in the month of July.
After his departure from the libertarian administration, Rodríguez became critical and in January questioned the lack of an article that addresses the elimination of the Tierra del Fuego promotion regime within the Omnibus Law package.
Given the repercussions generated by his messages, he also complained about the responses and criticism he received in
“They don't see it!” He expressed it, appealing to the phrase that Milei usually uses to refer to those who do not support him.
Shortly before the runoff, Rodríguez resigned from LLA after the statements he made against the gay community in the program hosted by Luis Novaresio on LN+.
“I don't like it, it's a hormone issue, I think gays don't understand.
My problem with gays, I respect the person perfectly, I feel comfortable, I know that you are gay, and I feel perfectly comfortable, 100%.
There is a problem that you have to understand, which is testosterone.
There is a hormonal problem.
“If I see two women kissing I love it, and if I see two men kissing my belly hurts,” she noted in 2023.
However, the economist assured that his departure as an advisor to the libertarians had no relation to his controversial statements.
“I hereby communicate my unwavering decision to terminate any formal relationship, real or presumed, of advice on economic matters at La Libertad Avanza.
I think I will be much more useful to the cause of freedom if I can express my opinion freely without my ideas having to be associated with a political party or a person,” he wrote in X about his departure from the libertarian party.
