In response to statements made by the elected president Javier Milei about UVA mortgage loans, who said that “if you made a wrong decision, you have to take responsibility,” the National Collective of UVA Mortgages was not far behind and counterattacked, demanding that “banks earn less” to alleviate the financial burden of debtors.
The controversy intensifies with a campaign to collect signatures to make the claim visible, while UVA mortgage holders denounce that the loans are advancing rapidly, becoming unsustainable. For Milei, the responsibility falls on those who took these loans, but those affected argue that the State promoted a misleading policy of access to housing.
“We did not expect another response (from Milei), because in the campaign he was very explicit with his thought philosophy of ‘every man for himself’, but there are expressions that are very strong,” said Claudia Pilo, a member of the Collective.
Pilo’s reference was to the concept expressed on Wednesday night by Milei in an interview given to the channel TNin which he said that the Government did not put “a gun to the head” of the affected debtors to get them to take out a loan.
For her part, Paola Gutiérrez, another member of the group, pointed out that the credits adjusted by the Purchasing Value Unit constituted “a policy of access to housing and the State has to guarantee us being able to pay.”
“We will have to go to court and present thousands of lawsuits, we are going to go out into the streets and defend our homes, because housing is a constitutional right,” they told the news agency. Telam.
The debate on a possible rescue law arises in a context where Milei has already expressed its willingness to veto other laws, such as the Rentals one. Meanwhile, the UVA Mortgage Loan regime, implemented in 2016 during Mauricio Macri’s administration, continues to be the epicenter of a financial crisis that affects thousands of families in Argentina.
