Argentina more Corrupt with Milei - In Milei's second year, Argentina worsened its rating in the world ranking that measures corruption

Things are getting worse not better with the corruption. Argentina is actually going backwards with International corruption organizations.


The country fell back five places on the Transparency International list, compared to the previous report. The data became known after the prosecution of the former head of ANDIS, Diego Spagnuolo, for irregularities.​


Argentina fell five places in the ranking of the Perception of Corruption index carried out by the organization Transparency International, which year after year analyzes the performance of countries at a global level. The country went from 99th place in 2024 to 104th in 2025, with 36 points out of 100, in the second year of President Javier Milei's term. In this way it is ranked 106th among 182 nations.

The new report became known after the prosecution without preventive detention of the former head of the National Disability Agency (ANDIS), Diego Spagnuolo, in the case for corruption in the agency. Added to the Libra case and the resignation of Demian Reidel as head of Nucleoelectric Argentina amid suspicions of overpricing.
The organization warned, in the case of Argentina, that "investigations into alleged corruption in the management of funds for medicines for people with disabilities show similar risks for vulnerable groups." Argentina shares the position with Belize and Ukraine, and is above other countries such as Zambia, Lesotho, Gambia, and the Dominican Republic.

Argentina ranks 19th out of 33 countries in America, where those with the best scores are Canada (75 points) in 16th place, and Uruguay (73 points) in 17th place. While Nicaragua and Venezuela are the countries with the worst ratings on the continent.


The president of Citizen Power, Martín D´Alessandro, said in this regard that "it is widely known that solid and socially efficient capitalist development is not obtained with magical passes in rhetoric and at the same time sweeping the earth under the carpet, but with adequate and sustained policies over time." He warned that "in the case of integrity, and in light of the available international evidence, these policies constitute an increasingly urgent outstanding debt."

While the executive director of Poder Ciudadano, Pablo Secchi, explained: "The bad news for Argentina in this index is related to the total absence of interest on the part of the Government in promoting anti-corruption policies."


Secchi made strong warnings to the Government regarding transparency, after the dissemination of a new Transparency International report: "Nothing was done in these two years to prevent and sanction corruption. To this are added the cases of $LIBRA and the National Disability Agency that, in addition to the suspicion of corruption, did not generate a forceful response from the Government."

 
Another of Milei's close friends and someone he say will win Nobel Prize with him kicked out of office. The scandal don't stop. He is worse than Cristina.

 
It is sad to see this. I thought this time was different. 30 BILLION pesos stealing from ANSIS. They have no shame stealing from the poor.

 
You will never get rid of corruption in Argentina. Still he keeps getting caught over and over again and these are only the ones we know about. Undoubtably there are many more. These are the ones he and his sister are getting caught.

He should have cut ties with his sister long ago after Libragate. It's clear to me he will go down with the ship with her if he has to.

She is bad news.

I saw that. Very disappointing to see Argentina going down in the rankings under Milei but I guess that is what happens when you lie, cheat and steal.

That is what I think will be his downfall is that he won't fire his sister. That is a huge liability when you don't have good judgement and can't separate family from work. I just see an eventual collapse. What plan is there really in place?
 
I thought maybe this was fake news but indeed Argentina is getting worse with corruption. Proof positive nothing has changed when it comes to corruption. Can't say anything about the Kirchner's when Milei's are doing the same thing.
