Overview
- Patricia Bullrich posted a short social video on Friday in which she hums Lali Espósito’s “No me importa,” a move read by many outlets as a pointed public rebuke over internal coordination on the 2027 Budget.
- President Javier Milei and Chief of Cabinet Diego Santilli publicly downplayed the episode, with Milei calling it a needless politicization of art and Santilli calling the clip “funny” as both sought to cool tensions.
- Bullrich’s core complaint is that she learned only after publication about changes the Economy Ministry made to disability provisions and she demanded stronger prior discussion in the government’s Mesa Política.
- The government is negotiating concrete technical fixes with allied blocs — including ending the emergency funding regime, changing how provider rates are updated, and narrowing pension incompatibility rules — ahead of a committee dictamen set for September 23.
- If talks fail to settle those technical points, coalition discipline could strain and votes needed to pass the Budget may become harder to secure, while beneficiaries and service providers could face shifts from automatic inflation-linked funding to ordinary budget lines.
