President Javier Milei expressed his anger after learning that senators would start collecting 9 million pesos per month under the approved increase, a situation the national leader publicly denied on his network .

The president described the decision as a “betrayal against the Argentine people” and recalled that the executive branch has had “salary freezes since December 10, since he took office”.

“Since December 10, salaries in the executive branch have been frozen. There has been no salary increase for ministers, ministers or deputy ministers. I have not received a salary increase and I have given up the privilege of retirement. Why? Because this government understands that this Effort must be created by politics, not by working people who pay taxes,” Milley commented on his X account (formerly Twitter).

Likewise, he added: “I condemn in the strongest possible terms the disgraceful pay raise that just occurred in the Senate.

“They recently raised their salaries to 7 million pesos, but that doesn’t seem to be enough: today they raised them to 9 million pesos,” Mire continued.

“Who gets paid $9 a month? No one. As millions of our countrymen struggle to navigate the aftermath of the economic disaster caused by Sergio Massa, the Senate should sympathize with Argentines, not make fun of them with monthly salary increases “They don’t seem to understand that the wages they receive come from taxes paid by all Argentines,” he attacked.

He added: “Charging 9 million pesos in this case is not just a travesty, it is a betrayal of working people. Once again the political class refuses to give up its privileges while the people suffer the consequences. I deny every cause This waste of signatures benefits politicians and goes against Argentines.”

“I don’t know who is responsible for this ridicule, but when people make their voices heard through voting, those who support these abuses of workers will suffer the consequences at the polls,” he concluded.

In another tweet, Milley took aim at activist Martín Lousteau, who complained during the last rate hike that lawmakers in the upper house raised their hands to approve that “senators’ incomes cannot match those of bank tellers” members are the same.”

“Question: Does the head of state claim that bank tellers can make that much money, or are we dealing with a giant hypocritical charlatan?”

Vice President Villarruel has also tried to distance herself from the issue (although in a report with Jonatan Viale a few months ago, she admitted to agreeing to add facilities).

“Today, senators from every neighborhood agreed to a salary increase on the House floor by a show of hands vote because they had the votes needed to do so. As President of the Senate, I am not a senator and I did not receive a vote from the Senate compensation, I cannot interfere with these decisions,” the vice president wrote.

In order to defend the ruling party’s statement, the Senate President insisted that “what happened in the Senate is completely legal and I have no means to stop it.”
