At the opening of the legislative year, the mayor of Alta Gracia, Marcos Torres, criticized the National Government, describing it as "violent" and disconnected from territorial reality. These statements contrast with the fiscal achievements of Javier Milei's government, which reached a financial surplus of 0.3% of GDP in 2024 (the first in 14 years).
Torres, representative (and envoy) of Córdoba's Peronism, highlighted the efficiency of his municipal administration without a fiscal deficit. However, his administration organized the 22nd edition of the "Semana del Che." This reprehensible event was funded with public money and honors Ernesto Guevara, a figure associated with revolutionary violence and authoritarianism.
Contradictions in the use of public resources
While criticizing the national government for its economic approach, Torres allocates municipal resources to activities that exalt Guevara's image. The event includes talks, literary presentations, and children's theater, promoting the image of a communist leader responsible for numerous summary executions.
