Government Discloses ARS 6.34 Million State Cost for Milei’s Córdoba Trip to Derecha Fest
The Casa Rosada framed the stop as official based on brief protocol contacts, a stance now challenged by opposition requests for fuller disclosure.
Overview
- An official report to Congress said the president flew on a presidential aircraft, with ARS 6,340,684.71 charged under the Presidency’s SAF 301 and financed by the national treasury.
- The administration declined to release a detailed breakdown of expenses or security and logistics reports, citing sensitive information and safety risks.
- Security forces deployed 74 Policía de Seguridad Aeroportuaria officers and 94 Gendarmería personnel, plus a military honor cordon at Córdoba’s airport.
- Officials cited a protocol greeting with Governor Martín Llaryora and meetings with Alex Bruesewitz and Danielle Alvarez, described as representatives of the U.S. presidency, to justify the trip as official.
- La Derecha Fest was a private, ticketed event, and an aviation specialist consulted by La Voz argued the reported figure likely reflects fuel alone rather than the full cost of operating the presidential jet.
