In Córdoba, Javier Milei chose to show himself as the architect of prosperity. But former governor Juan Schiaretti did not miss the opportunity to respond hard. “Milei lies blatantly”, Launched the current deputy candidate, pointing directly to the heart of the presidential story.
The president had assured that the country is aimed at growth and that his plan represents the “prosperity machine.” Schiaretti replied: “It is little serious to say that the prosperity machine has discovered when people do not arrive at the end of the month”The contrast is evident: Milei promises a future of abundance; Schiaretti invokes the daily reality of retirees without being able to buy remedies and students who fight to sustain universities.
Córdoba as a model
The former governor defends his management as an example against presidential discourse. “Our province has been an example of prosperity, maintaining the fiscal balance, guaranteeing social insertion and executing the necessary works for development”, He remarked. The message is clear: it is not necessary to sell illusions, but to show administration results.
With that idea, Schiaretti states that Córdoba proved that it is possible to combine public accounts balance with social and productive investment. Milei, on the other hand, places all the weight in the adjustment and in the promise of future stability. The numbers give Schiaretti arguments: registered private employment lost almost 80 thousand positions between 2024 and 2025, and Córdoba suffered about 9,700 casualties. Sectors such as construction and industry show worrying falls. In parallel, inflation continues to erode wages and consumption remains weak.
Therefore, the Cordoba emphasizes that talking about prosperity is “The respect for people who do not arrive at the end of the month”The contrast is not only rhetorical: it seeks to expose the distance between presidential optimism and the hard data of the economy.
Political strategy
Milei chose Córdoba because there he got one of his most resonant triumphs: in the ballot he exceeded 70% of the votes. Schiaretti responds from the same geography, claiming for himself the voice of the productive interior and marking an opposition profile with national projection.
“The president should calm down, look at reality and act accordingly. Because you can’t cover the sun with your hands when people suffer every day”, He insisted. The phrase synthesizes his bet: position himself as a serious leader in front of a government that, according to him, is held in slogans.
The closure was a wink to local idiosyncrasy: “In Córdoba we don’t shut up, we will always say things as they are. This is the Cordoba!”It is not only a message to the provincial electorate, but a way of differentiating from Buenos Aires policy and reaffirming its federal profile.
