Leo challenges Milei’s austerity during Argentina visit

Arriving from Uruguay, Leo made his view of Argentina’s economy plain: it should serve people, not the other way around. The report says his remarks drew applause and describes them as a diplomatic but stinging criticism of Milei’s austerity. Leo spoke about people who work hard but still struggle to meet household needs, and defended poor people and pensioners. The report characterizes his call for particular concern for people affected by illness, dependency and disability as a veiled reference to cuts to disability assistance. He also told Milei that strengthening democracy takes a willingness to listen and care with words. Milei said his government was trying to avoid “punishing the Argentines of tomorrow in order to benefit the Argentines of today.”
