Kirchnerist mayor Walter Vuoto squandered $85 million on a Dillom show

Meanwhile, the Kirchnerist mayor of Ushuaia, Walter Vuoto, launches strong criticism at Javier Milei's government and blames him without reason for the economic situation the municipality is facing. A municipal decree reveals an expenditure of 85 million pesos (187,393 pounds) allocated to hiring the artist Dylan León Masa, known as Dillom, for a show held last June.

The contract also includes all logistical costs, transportation, accommodation, and technical requirements, financed with the municipality's public funds, supposedly "in crisis" according to Vuoto, although it would not seem so.

The hiring was formalized through Artistic Services Lease Contract No. 21824, signed on June 13, 2025, between the Municipality of Ushuaia and the company BMNG SAS, represented by Facundo Oliva. The agreement was approved by decree and signed by the Chief Cabinet Secretary, Sebastián Iriarte, on behalf of the municipality.

According to the third clause of the contract, the municipality committed to pay $85,000,000 (187,393 pounds) as an artistic fee. But the expenditure doesn't stop there. The same contract establishes that all transportation between Buenos Aires and Ushuaia for the artist and his entourage of 14 people, as well as internal transportation, hotel accommodation, stage, sound, lighting, security fencing, and locker rooms are the exclusive responsibility of the municipal government.

The situation caused controversy, since before the show, Vuoto had publicly declared that the Municipality was facing a deep economic crisis as a result of "Milei's brutal adjustment," even warning about possible cuts to essential services and layoffs of contracted personnel.

The case not only highlights the priorities of the municipal government, but also the transparency and use of public resources in an administration that presents itself as ideologically opposed to the national government but, at the same time, squanders millions of pesos (millions of pounds), financed with workers' money, without any problem.

Thus, Walter Vuoto's Kirchnerist administration is exposed in a new contradiction. On one hand, it denounces a bankrupt state, while on the other, it organizes million-peso parties. An image that, for many, sums up the double standard with which municipal Kirchnerism manages the resources it claims not to have.
