“Today we are worse than in 2004,” said the former president through social networks. In addition, she responded to Javier Milei and criticized Mauricio Macri again

Cristina Kirchner referred this morning to the latest report published by the Social Observatory of the Argentine Catholic University (UCA) , which registered a record level of poverty of 57.4% . According to this data, there are 27 million poor people throughout Argentina, of which 7 million live in poverty. “They are playing with the Argentinian table,” considered the former president.
In turn, he responded to the criticism of President Javier Milei , who associated this level of poverty with the “political caste” model and blamed the government of Mauricio Macri for the debt with the IMF.
“He could not continue in the government (in relation to Macri), but the structural conditioning that his decisions regarding debt meant, both due to the magnitude of its total volume with private bondholders and with the IMF, and due to the return of that organization multilateral in its role as auditor of the Argentine economy, still persists. With the government of Mauricio Macri, Argentina, like in the game of goose, went backwards by numbers. The government that followed could not or did not know how to cut this true Gordian knot of the Argentine economy,” said Cristina Kirchner, who republished part of the document that she released last week .
And he added: “If it were the Goose Game, when looking at the Observatory graph, rather than a complete decline we would be seeing how, starting in 2018 - with debt in dollars and return of the IMF at the hands of Mauricio Macri - , we went back until we landed at the starting point. The reality that this work shows is that today we are worse than in 2004. However, the real tragedy is that they are not playing a board game, but with the Argentine table.
The data collected in the UCA report, which was released on Saturday, showed the increase in the poverty index, because the rate rose to 49.5%, corresponding to the month of December 2023, to 57.4%, measured in January of this year. In parallel, the homeless population went from representing 14.2% in December to closing at 15% in just one month.

Faced with this, Milei also reacted through the networks: “ The true inheritance of the caste model: 6 out of every 10 Argentines are poor ,” he maintained. She in turn defended her goal of changing the current social, economic and political landscape: “The destruction of the last hundred years is unparalleled in the history of the West. Politicians have to understand that the people voted for change and we are going to give our lives to carry it out; "We did not come to play the mediocre game of politics, we came to change the country."

According to the researchers who directed the data collection, the figures were obtained through an analysis of the increase in inflation, the cost of the Total Basic Basket (the index that determines the poverty line) and the Basic Basket Food (which serves as a parameter to establish the indigence threshold).
The experts explained that two simulation exercises were carried out that took the adjustments that were applied to the microdata of the EDSA (Argentine Social Debt Survey) in the third quarter of 2023. In this way, the level of indigence and poverty was recalculated , taking into account the increases in the baskets, while the amounts of labor and non-labor income that were obtained in December 2023 were updated. The second test reproduced the calculation, according to the income corresponding to January 2024.
After the variation that existed between one month and the next was discovered, the UCA report warned that the poverty rate was alarming, because it was the highest on record so far this century. . Previously, the record figure closed at 54%, which corresponded to the social situation experienced in 2002.
On the other hand, they pointed out that the number obtained was higher than the estimates made by the economist Martín Rozada , professor at the Torcuato Di Tella University (UTDT), who had predicted an increase that would exceed 40.1% (latest official data published by the Indec ) to an estimated 46.8%. The analysis estimated that some 21.8 million people would not be able to cover the cost of the Total Basic Basket, however, the figure presented by the UCA represented 27 million of the population.

Although the investigations specified the poverty levels in the different regions of the country, the latest statistics offered by Indec indicate that the poorest area would be northeast Argentina (NEA). By the middle of 2023, it had been recorded that 42% of citizens were poor, while 10.6% were indigent.
At the same time, the organization reported that the second poorest region was Greater Buenos Aires (GBA), because in the first semester 41.4% of the inhabitants fell below the poverty line and 10.4% They were already considered people in a situation of destitution.
Finally, the measurement ranked northwest Argentina (NOA) in third place, with 41% poverty and 7.8% indigence; followed by Cuyo, with 40.7% and 6.7%; In the fifth step, the Pampas region was positioned, with 36.8% and 8.2% of indigence; and, finally, Patagonia, with 33.2% poor and 5.5% indigent.
