According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the government's narrative holds that while the ideological agenda was expanding, the efforts of Argentine women were worth less and less due to inflation and the lack of concrete solutions. On March 8 in Buenos Aires, the National Government commemorated International Women's Day with an audiovisual piece that presents a harsh criticism of the institutionalization of feminism in Argentina. It argues that the former Ministry of Women functioned as a tool for political corruption rather than solving real problems. According to the official message, for decades a noble cause was distorted and transformed into a structure designed to concentrate political activism, marking 2019 as the beginning of a stage of embezzlement. "What they sold us as a conquest was actually a multi-million dollar scam," the video states, describing the gender and diversity policies promoted by the State as a business that benefited only a small militant elite while poverty and insecurity grew throughout the country. In response to this diagnosis, the current administration proposes a paradigm shift based on economic freedom and equality before the law as the only true engines for the development of citizenship. "Today the course is clear: equality before the law, economic freedom and zero deficit to end the inflation that hits the most vulnerable sectors first," the narration affirms, directly linking financial stability with the effective protection of women, far from the previous state bureaucracy. The ultimate purpose of the message is to ratify the dismantling of the political structures that the ruling party considers useless in order to prioritize a model of individual merit and security. The government maintains that the true tribute is not to multiply public offices, but to build a country where every Argentine woman can progress through her own efforts in an environment of freedom. "The true tribute to women is not to multiply useless political structures that never yielded results," the video concludes, closing a day marked by the strong ideological contrast between the Executive's vision and the traditional slogans of the feminist movement in Argentina.
