The minister stated that her department is working on three main pillars: direct assistance to vulnerable sectors, educational improvement, and the creation of quality employment. "Today, 93.5 percent of resources go directly into families' pockets", she said, and asserted that after eighteen months of management "more than eleven million people have left poverty and 2.4 million children are no longer poor, according to UNICEF".
Regarding social policy, Pettovello highlighted the 137 percent increase in the Alimentar Card and the 450 percent increase in the Universal Child Allowance between December 2023 and August 2025. She also mentioned the reinforcement of the Thousand Days Plan, with a 1,540 percent increase. "For the first time, the AUH plus the Alimentar Card covered one hundred percent of the basic food basket for all children under seventeen years old, since when we arrived it barely covered fifty percent and only reached children up to fourteen years old", she detailed.
