Argentina
Milei downplayed the differences within the ruling coalition and again lashed out at the press
The President said on social media that the tensions within La Libertad Avanza are merely “differences of opinion.” His message came after Patricia Bullrich’s public complaint over the Disability cuts included in the 2027 Budget.
Javier Milei sought to downplay the differences exposed within La Libertad Avanza and said they are “differences of opinion.” He did so in a message posted on his X account, in response to a post by journalist Macu Mazzuca about the infighting in the Government.
In that response, the President also again criticized the press with harsh remarks. According to Crónica and Clarín, Milei said that many journalists lie by presenting as an internal dispute what, in his view, are differences of criteria within the ruling coalition.
The clash emerged after the discomfort expressed by Patricia Bullrich over the cuts in the Disability area included in the 2027 Budget bill. The senator said she learned of those changes when the initiative entered Congress and not at the previous meeting of the Government’s political table.
“Don’t take me for a fool,” Bullrich said, according to both outlets, while questioning that the meeting discussed the economic situation but not the changes linked to Disability.
Clarín added that other ruling coalition leaders also tried to tone down the controversy. That outlet noted that Martín Menem denied an internal dispute, although he acknowledged that there are differences of opinion within the political table, while Diego Santilli said the issues are discussed in that working forum.
