Ministers and libertarian leaders today responded to Cristina Kirchner 's criticism in relation to the latest report published by the Social Observatory of the Argentine Catholic University (UCA) , which registered a record level of poverty of 57.4% . According to this data, there are 27 million poor people throughout Argentina , of which 7 million live in poverty and, for the former president, they are playing “ with the Argentinian table .”
“After 16 years, the last 20 years, governing the destinies of the Argentines, Cristina Kirchner says that the real tragedy is that they are not playing a board game, but with the Argentinians' table. Playing with the Argentinians' table is falsifying statistics and cheating with poverty numbers; "It is promoting inflation and the enormous growth of the State and its coffers," said the Minister of Defense, Luis Petri , through the networks.
“The former president should apologize and remain silent. "We are working to get out of the disaster that we inherited and in which they left the country, despite having extraordinary economic conditions, which allowed the recovery of all the countries in the region, with the exception of Argentina, due to the responsibility of Kirchnerism and its populist policies." , complete.
Meanwhile, the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich , assured that "Argentines do not forget" that during Cristina Kirchner's two terms in office, "INDEC and all public statistics were falsified" and "the reserves and money of the retirees.” “Kirchnerism and populism are over in Argentina. We are working to fundamentally change the country. Let the president govern, they have already done enough damage,” she added.
Buenos Aires legislator Ramiro Marra expressed himself along these same lines: “How are you going to measure poverty in your government if the INDEC was intervened? Not only are you corrupt, but also with the lies of your governments you put all Argentines in debt with billions of dollars,” he said.

Faced with this, Milei also reacted through the networks: “ The true inheritance of the caste model: 6 out of every 10 Argentines are poor ,” he maintained. She in turn defended her goal of changing the current social, economic and political landscape: “The destruction of the last hundred years is unparalleled in the history of the West. Politicians have to understand that the people voted for change and we are going to give our lives to carry it out; "We did not come to play the mediocre game of politics, we came to change the country."
According to the researchers who directed the data collection, the figures were obtained through an analysis of the increase in inflation, the cost of the Total Basic Basket (the index that determines the poverty line) and the Basic Basket Food (which serves as a parameter to establish the indigence threshold).
The experts explained that two simulation exercises were carried out that took the adjustments that were applied to the microdata of the EDSA (Argentine Social Debt Survey) in the third quarter of 2023. In this way, the level of indigence and poverty was recalculated , taking into account the increases in the baskets, while the amounts of labor and non-labor income that were obtained in December 2023 were updated. The second test reproduced the calculation, according to the income corresponding to January 2024.
After the variation that existed between one month and the next was discovered, the UCA report warned that the poverty rate was alarming, because it was the highest on record so far this century. . Previously, the record figure closed at 54%, which corresponded to the social situation experienced in 2002.
On the other hand, they pointed out that the number obtained was higher than the estimates made by the economist Martín Rozada , professor at the Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT), who had predicted an increase that would exceed 40.1% (latest official data published by the Indec ) to an estimated 46.8%. The analysis estimated that some 21.8 million people would not be able to cover the cost of the Total Basic Basket, however, the figure presented by the UCA represented 27 million of the population.
Although the investigations specified the poverty levels in the different regions of the country, the latest statistics offered by Indec indicate that the poorest area would be northeast Argentina (NEA). By the middle of 2023, it had been recorded that 42% of citizens were poor, while 10.6% were indigent.
At the same time, the organization reported that the second poorest region was Greater Buenos Aires (GBA), because in the first semester 41.4% of the inhabitants fell below the poverty line and 10.4% They were already considered people in a situation of destitution.
Finally, the measurement ranked northwest Argentina (NOA) in third place, with 41% poverty and 7.8% indigence; followed by Cuyo, with 40.7% and 6.7%; In the fifth step, the Pampas region was positioned, with 36.8% and 8.2% of indigence; and, finally, Patagonia, with 33.2% poor and 5.5% indigent.
