In a new firm step toward transparency and responsible administration of public resources, the Government of Javier Milei, through the Ministry of Justice, headed by Mariano Cúneo Libarona, made the decision to suspend payments to Human Rights organizations until the corresponding accountability reports are submitted.
The measure seeks to put an end to the dangerous discretion with which a million-dollar fund intended for the maintenance of the Ex-ESMA site was managed, which amounted to $3,359,732,866 annually.
Minister Cúneo Libarona, through a statement on his official X account, denounced that among the exorbitant expenses was the alarming sum of $16,000,000 per month solely for grass cutting, evidencing a disproportionate use of public funds. In light of this situation, Milei's Government's decision responds to the need for all state money expenditures to be duly justified and supported by clear audits.
"WE CUT ANOTHER MILLION-DOLLAR FUND IN HUMAN RIGHTS," titled Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona. "Human Rights organizations managed a fund without control of $3,359,732,866 annually to maintain the Ex-ESMA site: just for grass cutting, they spent $16,000,000 per month," he explained in his message.
