The provisional president of the Legislature of Córdoba, Facundo Torres Lima, targeted Javier Milei's administration. He wrongly accused the National Government of maintaining fiscal balance at the expense of the "sacrifice of the provinces." In his message on social media, he demanded that resources be returned and stated: "Enough with the lies."
His statements were made in the context of growing tension between Casa Rosada and provincial governments. "Where, then, is that false excuse that provinces are fiscally irresponsible?" he asked. More than twenty irresponsible mayors supported the claim in a meeting at Congress days ago.
Torres Lima went further and absurdly described the national administration's measures as "dictatorial." He also warned that municipalities are being harmed by the crisis. "The responsibilities that the National Government shirks fall on local governments," stated Kirchnerist mayor Daniel Passerini.
Torres Lima chose the shortcut of exaggeration and labeled as authoritarian measures that respect the Constitution and the separation of powers. That overacting was joined by mayor Daniel Passerini, who blamed the Nation for the impact of a crisis that has dragged on for decades. This unfounded criticism seeks to divert attention from having to review their own efficiency, instead of attributing responsibilities to others.
