Feminists demand more subsidies in the Budget Law

The Five-Year Budget Law is about to be debated in the Legislative Branch and feminist organizations have begun to pressure for more subsidies and privileges.

They intend for all Uruguayan taxpayers' money to continue funding their organizations. 

What is the Budget Law?

The National Budget Law is a legal instrument approved by the Legislative Branch every five years, at the beginning of a new government term, which establishes the forecasts for public revenue and expenditure for the five-year period.

This project is prepared by the Executive Branch and reflects the government plan, allocating resources to public programs and policies in areas such as health, education, security, among many other matters. 

Annually, it is reviewed through the Accountability Law, which can adjust the amounts or destinations of public spending.

More privileges

Taking advantage of the parliamentary discussion of the Five-Year Budget Law, feminist organizations have gone on the offensive. 

They seek more privileges and benefits funded by the State's coffers. Feminism is a business and like any business, it needs money, and the money for feminist organizations in Uruguay is taken from the State, that is, from the pockets of taxpayers who pay their taxes with great sacrifice.

The purpose is always to finance themselves with other people's money, never to generate their own resources.

The State's coffers are used to siphon money that should be allocated to more useful matters for society. 

Funding with taxpayers' money

The funding of feminist organizations is basically done through Inmujeres, which belongs to MIDES, but there are also "gender offices" or "diversity secretariats" in all state agencies, which enter into agreements with these organizations to inject money into them.

It is a corrupt scheme that works as follows: suppose a feminist organization with legal status enters into an agreement with the Ministry of Livestock to conduct "gender workshops" for the Ministry's female employees.

The agreement is valid for 10 months and the money is obviously provided by the Ministry, meaning it is public money from taxpayers.

This way, this feminist organization collects for 10 months substantial funds that come from public coffers. 

Of course, these workshops do not provide any benefit to the Ministry; they are simply indoctrination against men, whom feminists blame for all their problems. 

This simple example demonstrates how these types of organizations operate.

Under the falsehood of "fighting for equality" and "against gender violence," all they do is finance themselves with everyone's money, so that a privileged caste, who are the ones running these organizations, can enrich themselves. 

These agreements with state entities have been in place for many years.

They increased between 2005 and 2020 during the three governments of Frente Amplio and continued under the government of Lacalle Pou between 2020 and 2025.

Everything suggests that under the current government of Yamandú Orsi this will multiply, and this dirty and corrupt business will continue to be funded with everyone's money.
