Milei corruption scandal
The scandal involving Karina Milei, sister of the president and secretary of the presidency, was triggered in August, with the release of audios by Diego Spagnuolo, former director of (National Agency for People with Disabilities) and friend of brothers Milei.
In the recordings, Spagnuolo cites Karina’s participation in a corruption scheme in the purchase of medicines – the president’s sister would have 3% of the 8% of the bribe charged in all contracts in the department.
In addition to the accusations, Milei faces growing resistance from the Argentine banking sector. Financial institutions, which previously supported the government’s economic agenda, dispute the new liquidity rules implemented to contain weight devaluation. Banks classify measures as inefficient and costly for their operations.
Milei has come to power with promises of radical reforms to combat inflation and recover the economy from spending cuts. The inflation rate, while slowing down in recent months, still remains at high levels.
The relationship with Congress is tense. On Thursday (4.Set), the senators, mostly opposing, overthrew Milei’s 1st time to a bill that increases spending and protections for people with disabilities.
