AFIP workers criticized the implementation of a measure that left more than 1,700 former AFIP employees requesting their retirement, mainly due to a lack of clarity regarding its application. Julio Estévez (h), a union lawyer, denied the alleged million-dollar salaries in the institution by showing his own paycheck, which is around two million pesos. Estévez challenged Florencia Misrahi, former Executive Director of AFIP, to do the same and to reduce her salary from 32 to 4 million, in line with what a National Minister earns.
The AFIP union has gone to court seeking to declare the dissolution of the agency by presidential decree unconstitutional. This union claims that the measure has generated chaos and paralysis in the former AFIP, with more than 1,700 experienced employees opting to leave. It is argued that the presidential decision impacts both workers and the National State, in addition to negatively affecting the fight against tax evasion and labor informality.
It has been pointed out that the unexpected transition caused by the government's announcement has plunged the institution into unprecedented chaos, with all administrative operations halted and widespread uncertainty among workers. The lack of access to basic work resources, such as paperwork, IT systems, and agreements, has led to a situation of inoperability within the entity, which could facilitate tax evasion. In this scenario, the AFIP union seeks to reverse the governmental decision through legal actions.
