He also acknowledged the difficulties: "I want to tell all Argentinians: beyond the success our administration may have had in correcting decades of disorder, we understand that many still don't perceive it in their material reality".
In the economic sphere, Milei stated that "fiscal balance is the cornerstone of our government plan" and celebrated the sustained decrease in inflation, the reduction of poverty, the lowering of taxes, and the imminent lifting of currency controls as central achievements.
The President also detailed the increases planned in the budget: 5% in real terms for pensions, 17% in health, 8% in education, 5% for disability pensions, and an increase of 4.8 trillion pesos (4.8 trillion pesos) for national universities. "This government's priority is human capital", he emphasized.
Finally, Milei addressed the private sector: "For the first time in decades, this primary surplus will allow the public sector to finance the private sector so it can develop projects that contribute to the country's infrastructure and logistics". He delivered a central statement: "It's time to accept that if we want more companies to invest, we must stop seeing businesspeople as public enemies".
In that vein, he insisted on restoring the "so maligned presumption of fiscal innocence" and announced the creation of a simplified income tax affidavit regime. "That absurd idea that the state should consider all its citizens as criminals by default is over", he concluded.
