On December 26, 2024, in the Argentine capital, Patricia Bullrich, the leader of the La Libertad Avanza caucus in the Senate, addressed a special session on the 2026 Budget. The former Minister of Security highlighted the importance of this document as a starting point for the nation. According to Bullrich, the budget is not just an economic tool but the reflection of the collective decision to elect President Javier Milei. Thus, the country can move forward with a clear and concrete direction.
"Suddenly the Argentines have come back to believing, projecting, healing, and feeling that there is a future, that effort makes sense," Bullrich said. In her words, change is no longer an empty slogan but a reality that touches every Argentine family. The document promises to explain a clear and permanent economic direction. It is presented as the first fundamental law that can be approved by Congress.
The speech also referred to the problems the country has suffered: destructive inflation, perpetual deficits and an ever‑growing state. Bullrich maintains that the new budget avoids repeating false figures and creating an indiscriminate state apparatus. She emphasized that the country must live within its concrete possibilities and not invent numbers to feed positions and public spending. It is framed as a policy that respects the economic reality of the people.
The central aim of the budget is to restore the emotional confidence of Argentines. The caucus leader stressed that after years of resignation the country has decided to stop waiting and move forward. President Milei, according to Bullrich, has chosen a path that responds to popular will. The document is intended to be a pact of effort and determination for the nation.
Moreover, the speaker warned against populism, corruption, and supposedly public works projects. She stated that previous governments had failed to produce savings and jobs. She emphasized that the future requires a serious commitment from every citizen. "The Budget is not a destination, but a starting point," Bullrich concluded.
