Javier Milei, president of Argentina – Europa Press/Contacto/Stefano Costantino
MADRID, 11 Mar. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The president of Argentina, Javier Milei, has announced the dismissal of the Secretary of Labor, Omar Yasín, for the “error” committed in relation to public salaries and which involved increases of up to 48 percent, insisting that it was an automatic adjustment .
«I fired the Secretary of Labor. At this moment they are notifying him for this error,” Milei confirmed in an interview given this Monday to the LN + network and that she arrives after the cascade of accusations and rectifications of the last few hours.
The increase derives from a decree signed at the end of February by Milei himself, who has tried to justify himself by ensuring that what in principle should have been an agreement to raise the salaries of civil servants caused a decree from the time of Cristina Fernández to be “triggered”. , under which “these positions cannot earn less than those below them in the structure.”
“That’s where the increase skyrockets,” he argued. The president recalled that in January he gave an order “not to increase the salaries of senior staff”, which in theory implied the freezing of payrolls for the main political positions, including members of the cabinet.
In this sense, he has disgraced what he calls the “political caste” by creating “mechanisms” to automatically activate salary increases and “not having to raise a hand.” “These things are hidden and you don’t realize it,” he added, before highlighting that “the important thing” is that everything has already been canceled and the discounts will be adjusted in the next payroll.
