PerfilIndependentCenterFactual 90Objective 658/23/2026The article discusses the controversy sparked by Roberto Urquía’s comments about Argentina’s economy, particularly his assertion that society 'does not reach the 15th day' of the month due to financial strain. This statement has caused debate among businesses and highlighted the contrast between strong macroeconomic indicators and the struggles faced by individuals at the micro level. In Córdoba’s 'rojo circle,' many were surprised by Urquía’s remarks, which drew attention to his past ties to the Kirchnerist era. The discussion centers around how public spending on services, fuel, taxes, schools, and healthcare now takes up a larger portion of household budgets, reducing disposable income despite nominal salary increases. Businesses acknowledge a significant drop in consumption and note changes in purchasing habits, especially among the middle class, which faces heavier financial burdens. Urquía’s comments reportedly upset President Javier Milei’s administration, leading to private demands for him to retract his statements. Some industrialists suggest Milei might not attend the upcoming Day of Industry event on September 2, possibly sending a minister like Diego Santilli instead.
