Axel Kicillof announces a salary increase.

The governor of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof , announced today a salary increase of 13.5% in March for Buenos Aires state workers , simultaneously with a 76% increase in social program benefits.


“We tried, from the beginning, to give back to the people of Buenos Aires something that (Javier) Milei has been taking from them, with the blender, the chainsaw; This measure brings some relief among the sectors that suffer from this enormous, infernal, criminal recession. In January, a 25% increase in salaries was ordered, in February it was 20%, and for March we ordered an increase of 13.5%. “This involves the state in general, the police, retirees who have tied their assets to the income of their workers, and teachers ,” he explained.


“This explains what we do with taxes,” said the governor, within the framework of a press conference where, in addition, the increase of 76% in the amount of scholarships and social program benefits was announced, and of 118.7%. % in scholarships from the Provincial Agency for Children and Adolescents (OPNyA), areas that are under the orbit of the Ministry of Community Development led by Andrés “Cuervo” Larroque .


This increase, as officially reported, reaches more than 550 thousand recipients. “While Milei cuts funds and suffocates the provinces, the governor continues to maintain the levels of social investment for the support and inclusion of the most vulnerable,” Larroque highlighted



Axel Kicillof criticizes Milei for calling for tax rebellion.

According to these announcements, the monthly investment in benefits increases from $3,431 million to $6,273 million, reaches more than 300 thousand recipients and impacts a total of 15 programs, among which are the Child Development Units ( UDI) under the Kindergarten, Children's House and Comprehensive Care Center modality; the Envión Program and the Youth Centers.

In the case of retirements, they have an average of 534,000 today, which they reach today with this increase ,” Kicillof highlighted.

Reply to Milei​



Milei on the tax increase in the province of Buenos Aires: "It is expropriatory"
"There are some who do not know, not who pretend to be distracted, or who want to know, but with taxes we pay the salaries of 100 thousand police officers, 25 thousand health professionals, 80 thousand school assistants, we repair 8 thousand schools, there are 216 schools inaugurated, we opened six new hospitals, we equipped the police, we fed the children in schools,” listed the provincial governor.

This mention is directed, mainly, to President Milei, who in the last few hours ratified the call not to pay the tax increase in Buenos Aires territory .

The President assured that he “totally agree” with the position expressed by deputy José Luis Espert , recently incorporated into the La Libertad Avanza bloc and an ally of the government. In the same line of reasoning, he said that the increases ordered by Kicillof are “confiscatory,” and he said that the compensation is not seen.

It is expropriatory, it has no counterpart in public goods. Kicillof gives nothing , in terms of security, the province is a bloodbath; In education, student achievement is truly very poor; In health, we already saw the scam of the State present during the pandemic, in which, if we had done things like a mediocre country we would have had 30 thousand deaths, and we had 130 thousand," assured the national leader.

The increase in patents, the increase in residential real estate and the increase in rural real estate does not have to be paid for. You don't have to pay it. And that is not tax rebellion to the fart, it is tax rebellion with common sense. The people of Buenos Aires do not have to pay the tax increase,” Espert had warned, who admitted that he himself would avoid paying the strong increases.
