Bullrich Again Marked Distance from the Government with Criticism of the Budget and a Video with a Lali Song
The senator questioned changes linked to disability in the 2027 Budget and later shared a social media post that had political repercussions. Officials sought to downplay the episode.
Patricia Bullrich added new gestures of differentiation within the ruling coalition in recent days. According to Hora Digital, the president of the La Libertad Avanza bloc in the Senate questioned modifications incorporated into the 2027 Budget bill and later posted on her social media a video recorded in her office in which she is seen while No me importa, by Lali Espósito, plays.
According to that outlet, Bullrich accompanied the post with the phrase “I know that all the buts have a why,” taken from the song’s lyrics. The choice of the track took on political significance because of the public clashes the singer has had with Javier Milei.
The senator’s main point of disagreement was linked to the changes on disability emergency measures included in the 2027 Budget. Hora Digital noted that Bullrich questioned that those modifications had not been discussed beforehand in the ruling coalition’s political table and blamed the Ministry of Economy for their inclusion. In that context, she said: “Don’t take me for a fool.”
Radio Mitre added that Diego Santilli referred to the video and sought to play down the situation. “It was very good. Patricia’s video was fun, and well, we have to take it that way, I think that’s fine,” he said to the press.
According to Hora Digital, Milei also downplayed the controversy and said he did not see a problem with Bullrich listening to the artist. “I think it is a major absurdity to politicize art,” the President said.
At the same time, Hora Digital indicated that a national Poliarquía poll placed approval of the presidential administration at 42% in September, at the same level as July and August. The survey also detected an eight-point drop in support among those who had voted for Bullrich in 2023 and a cumulative decline of 18 points since the beginning of 2026 within that segment.
Despite the differences made public, Bullrich remains at the head of the libertarian bloc in the Senate and has not announced a break with the Government.
