Senator José Mayans, the leader of the Unión por la Patria block, criticized the 2026 Budget Bill during a special Senate session in Buenos Aires. Mayans said the budget represents "decadence and corruption of the government" and attempts to disguise public balance. He pointed out that the first part of the proposal is outdated and does not reflect the current economic reality. Mayans highlighted that the exchange policy changed by the government and the expectation of 31 % dollar inflation show the program's inconsistency. He called for a thorough review of forecasts and inflation calculation methods, and criticized the idea of adjusting the dollar in response to IMF demands. "We will not support this budget that represents decadence and corruption of the government, disguised as public balance". "The first part of the budget is entirely outdated and has nothing to do with the reality we are living in". "31 % inflation in dollars!"
