"They vote for any stupid thing, someone else pays anyway": Javier Milei blasted the opposition over the Congressional votes.

During his speech at the 141st anniversary of the Rosario Stock Exchange , President Javier Milei once again took aim at the National Congress, which recently approved and defended various initiatives that " would increase public spending and generate a fiscal deficit ." " They find it funny to vote for any kind of stupidity, only to have some idiot pay for it in two years ," the president said.

On Friday night, the president spoke at a major event celebrating his economic performance and asserted that " inflation will be over by mid-2026 ." The president appeared publicly after a difficult week for the government, starting with harsh defeats in Congress , where the Chamber of Deputies rejected the presidential veto on the disability emergency, and the Senate approved the pediatric emergency law to fund the Garrahan. This was in addition to the scandal that erupted in recent hours over an alleged bribery scheme involving advisors and officials.

Despite this, the president avoided mentioning the controversy and focused on his administration. The speech had a technical tone, but continued to criticize Kirchnerism for its economic policies. " We didn't do well with Keynesianism; no one does well with that model. It's only useful for populist politicians, demagogues, and spenders, " he declared.

Milei polarized the opposition, blaming the poor interest rate on the " Kuka risk ," a term she attributed to her Minister of Deregulation and State Transformation, Federico Sturzenegger . She also stated that Kirchnerism will try to manipulate the results of the Buenos Aires legislative elections.

" They're going to represent the electoral ceiling, voting with a different ballot and using the entire apparatus to commit fraud by putting forward token candidates ," he said, comparing it to his prediction for the national elections. "In October, the mayors won't play the same role and will validate the national administration," he noted.

Compared to the previous anniversary of the Rosario Stock Exchange, Milei received a less warm reception, fueled by the governors' discontent over the lack of funding for the provinces and outstanding funds. Also speaking at the event was the Governor of Santa Fe, Maximiliano Pullaro , who emphasized: " What we need today in Argentina are votes in Congress, not vetoes ."
