Presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni announced the dissolution of the "Instituto Nacional Juan Domingo Perón de Estudios e Investigaciones Históricas, Sociales y Políticas" and the "Comisión Permanente Nacional de Homenaje al Teniente General Juan Domingo Perón".
In the press conference held at Casa Rosada, the spokesperson for President Javier Milei explained that they are two unnecessary state institutions and have no reason to continue receiving state funding. The decision is part of a series of measures aimed at reducing public spending.
The Instituto Nacional Juan Domingo Perón, created in 1995 during the presidency of Carlos Menem through Decree 625/1995, had the mission to "promote and study the life, work, and ideology" of the Peronist former president.

As Adorni stated, its function is no longer relevant given the current academic landscape: "Historical research on former President Perón is already being carried out through universities, academic centers, foundations, and specialized institutions that ensure an academic study free from state constraints", the spokesperson explained.
The dissolution also includes the "Comisión Permanente Nacional de Homenaje al Teniente General Juan Domingo Perón", an organization responsible for organizing ceremonies and events related to Perón's memory. Both the Institute and the Commission represented an unnecessary budgetary burden and their continuation was not justified.
The presidential spokesperson was blunt on the matter: "The funding of the institute and the commission, in addition to their idle employees, which represented an unnecessary budgetary burden, did not provide any differential value".

In this regard, he assured that "the teaching and dissemination of national history is already fully guaranteed by the educational system", emphasizing that the government prioritizes efficiency and the responsible use of public resources.
This measure is part of a series of reforms and adjustments promoted by the government of Javier Milei, aimed at reducing state spending and restructuring institutions that not only do not fulfill an essential function but also represent a significant cost for the Argentine people.
