Argentina shrinks the State and Uruguay's left goes into panic

On May 23, 2025, the Argentine government officially transformed the National Genetic Data Bank (BNDG) from a decentralized to a deconcentrated agency through Decree 351/2025. In simple and concrete terms: it no longer keeps its own administrative structure—with accountants, payroll staff, procurement personnel, and other duplicated tasks—and now receives those services from a centralized State unit. The result? Public money savings without affecting a single one of its essential functions.

«There had been a proliferation of decentralized agencies in the national public administration. The difference between a deconcentrated and a decentralized agency is that the decentralized one duplicates all the "back office": accounting, payroll, procurement; an infernal bureaucracy that could be handled by central areas. A deconcentrated agency keeps its functional independence but relies on the centralized back office for its administration. This results in significant savings without affecting in the slightest the fulfillment of the agency's tasks», stated Federico Sturzenegger, Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation.

However, this decision—necessary and urgent in a country trying to emerge from one of the worst economic crises in its history, with poverty reaching 55%—sent the Uruguayan left into a panic. The reason? The DNA of relatives of Uruguayan detained-disappeared persons is stored in the Genetic Data Bank of the Argentine Republic, in Córdoba.

The only memory they defend is the budget's

From our own country, Alejandra Casablanca, director of the Secretariat of Human Rights for the Recent Past of the Presidency (SDHPR), spread misinformation on TV Ciudad: «the only thing left was to reduce the budget for the National Genetic Data Bank and that's already been announced». False. As false as it is hypocritical.

The BNDG will continue with the same functions. This is detailed in the Argentine government's official statement on its website: «it will continue working on the analysis of genetic material to clarify cases of crimes against humanity and affiliation conflicts, but it will modify its internal structure and the way its authorities are chosen. From now on, the Technical General Director and the Technical Deputy Director will be selected through a public competition, with specific requirements in forensic genetics, thus guaranteeing professional competence and transparency in management».

What changes is that it will no longer have to maintain a mini state structure within itself, as if it were a separate ministry. Accounting, procurement, payroll: all of that is now managed centrally, avoiding spending millions on unnecessary bureaucracy. There is no "budget cut," as the left tries to claim: it's efficiency. It's common sense. It's respecting the effort of the Argentine taxpayer and eliminating unnecessary expenses.

How the Uruguayan left imposes its narrative with public money

The Argentine Ministry of Deregulation and State Transformation states clearly: «with this decree, Javier Milei's government reinforces its policy of reducing the size of the State, seeking efficiency without neglecting sensitive functions such as the identification of disappeared persons and the investigation of crimes against humanity».

There is no attack on human rights. On the contrary: there is a defense of the ordinary citizen who, with great effort, contributes to move Argentina forward. After years of waste, the Argentine people have the right to have their pockets protected and to finally dismantle a bureaucracy that exists only to justify itself.

Paid-off press: overbilling and activism disguised as journalism

TV Ciudad must be privatized now

The promotion of the hegemonic leftist discourse from public media has become a disgusting habit. The speech by Alejandra Casablanca, former general director of TV Ciudad, on the program La Letra Chica is a clear example.

Decent Uruguayans are forced to support leftist propaganda dens with their sacrifice, how long are we going to keep funding these indoctrination machines with our taxes?

Meanwhile, on the neighboring shore freedom is advancing, in Uruguay millions of taxpayer dollars are allocated to maintain a media outlet full of political operatives with microphones.

Uruguay also needs to end the caste.
