President Javier Milei published an extensive message in his X account in which he defended the economic direction of his administration, harshly criticized journalism and he assured that the country is doing much better than in 2023, after the serious economic crisis inherited from Kirchnerism.
Under the slogan “DATA FIRST”, the president stressed that there is a disconnect between what official statistics show and the approach of the media, totally biased and with a notable “anti-Milei” ideological bias.
“Journalism claims to be the voice of the people, but every day it becomes more exposed that they are nothing more than the voice of their friends... or directly of their bosses,” he said.
In her message, Milei said that economic data reflect a recovery and pointed at those who want to cover the sun with one hand. “We can discuss the methodology all we want, but the data are convincing: Argentina is much, MUCH better than in 2023. Whatever method they choose, the trend is the same. To deny empirical evidence by appealing to anecdotes is, quite simply, to go against four centuries of scientific progress,
” he said.The President also focused on media coverage of the social situation, particularly around poverty. “It is unsustainable that 100% of television networks insist that 'everything is bad' when we have the lowest level of poverty in the last seven years. That's not analysis: it's a story,” he said.
