When justice breaks the silence of power

The verdict against the Sena clan left a brutal certainty: we are not only witnessing the moral collapse of Kirchnerism, but also the birth of an Argentina that allows itself the truth. The verdict for the murder of Cecilia Strzyzowski confirms it in a devastating way. The popular jury found César Sena, Emerenciano Sena, and Marcela Acuña guilty of the most atrocious femicide in Chaco's history. A conviction that would have been impossible under Capitanich's regime. A conviction unthinkable while political power controlled judges, prosecutors, and media through fear and subsidies. Today, Cecilia truly rests in peace because the country has begun to break the mafia structure that made her disappear.

The trial exposed something that for years was deliberately hidden: Kirchnerism operated as a power organization based on privilege and fear, where the government decided who prospered, who remained silent, and who disappeared. It was a system built on moral subjugation and manipulation. Meanwhile, the feminist collective—so loud when causes fit their narrative—chose silence. There were no marches. There were no scarves. There was no remembrance. They chose ideology over justice, obedience to power over the defense of the victim.

However, while the old order crumbles, another country is emerging from below, driven by millions of people who no longer wait for the State's permission to create, produce, and trade. The trade agreement between Argentina and the United States symbolizes this change of era: what began as a politically incorrect speech in Davos became a strategic alliance, guided by the most basic principle of human progress: free and voluntary exchange. When markets open, cooperation is unleashed; when state arbitrariness is eliminated, trust flourishes.

The results prove it. Merval rose almost 4% in a single day, Argentine stocks climbed up to 23%, and Country Risk dropped below 600 points. It is the natural order of events: when property is respected, capital flows; when political uncertainty is reduced, value multiplies. However, the analysts of failure—the same ones who saw crisis where there was recovery and catastrophe where there was rational adjustment—repeat that "the agreement harms Argentina." They do not understand the essential: wealth is not distributed by decree, it is caused when individuals can act according to their own judgment.

October's inflation once again made something clear: stability is no longer just a hope. Although some try to force the narrative of an "acceleration," the year-on-year rate plummeted to 31.3%, the lowest level since 2018. There have now been 18 consecutive months of deceleration, and the accumulated inflation for 2025 reached 24.8%, the best record since 2017. All of this is a direct consequence of stopping the printing of unbacked money, restoring value to effort, and putting a stop to the state plundering that for years fueled the inflationary spiral.

The productive momentum is also being felt. Vaca Muerta set a historic record with 200,000 barrels per day of shale oil, an 82% increase in less than two years. Argentina is sitting on an energy mine, but the real resource that will make it prosper is not underground: it is in the creativity of every individual free to produce, because wealth arises from voluntary cooperation, not from plans or political permission.

Argentines do not lack lithium or talent: we have an excess of statism, an excess of bureaucracy, and an excess of fear of competition. What destroys industry is not trade agreements, but fiscal voracity. What destroys jobs is not globalization, but labor legislation anchored in 1975. What destroys progress is not the market, but extortionist unionism.

Peronism left wages of 300 dollars, four million informal workers, and a country paralyzed by fear of investing. Today, for the first time, a government implemented contractionary fiscal policy in an election year... and won. Because society understood what seemed impossible: without balance there is no stability, without stability there is no growth, and without growth there is no future.

Argentina is changing at a speed that confounds the defenders of the old order. It is only the beginning. When the moral principle of individual responsibility is restored, when the law is respected as a limit to power, when truth replaces narrative, the country leaves decadence behind. Because freedom doesn't promise miracles: it promises something more powerful. It promises that every person can build their own destiny without asking for permission.

On that path—of truth, justice, and freedom—the true greatness of Argentina finally begins.
