Julia Strada was at the center of the controversy after it came to light that she took a UVA mortgage loan in 2026, despite having been one of the voices that most questioned this system in the past.
In 2018, from the CEPA space, Strada released reports warning about the risks of these loans. At the time, it was noted that those who had taken UVA credits in 2016 already owed more than an additional 50% due to inflation
.That speech was part of a larger narrative of Kirchnerism, which presented the UVA as a harmful tool for the middle class.
What the reports she herself promoted said The CEPA reports
during the Mauricio Macri administration warned that UVA credits entailed an increasing risk
in inflationary contexts.It was argued that, even when paying in term, the capital due increased significantly due to the adjustment for inflation. In some cases, increases of close to 70% were reported in accumulated debt over a
few years.In other words, the central argument was clear: in an unstable economy, UVA could become a burden difficult to sustain.
The twist: now they do work with Milei What changes in 2026 is the macroeconomic context
. With falling inflation and signs of stabilization, UVA loans are once again appearing as a viable tool for access to housing.Different economic media reported lower rates, better financing conditions and a revival of mortgage credit.
In this scenario, Strada decided to move forward with a UVA loan at Banco Nación, which marks an obvious change with respect to its historical position.
