00:00There will be a national network by President Javier Milei, with a very intense day.
00:06We heard him enter the rural society very early today.
00:10At 3 in the afternoon there will be a toast in the government house.
00:14And it is expected, in addition, in the context of what will be his speech,
00:19where he will address, of course, the political part, all that has been his management, the economy,
00:23and probably some important announcements,
00:27what the president is going to say in this assessment,
00:30where, of course, journalism and those who are dedicated to checking more rigorously have also done it.
00:38We are with Matías de Santis from Chequeado.com.
00:41Matías, how are you? Good morning, thank you for attending us.
00:44All right?
00:45Hi, how are you, Guillermo? How are you? Nice to meet you.
00:48Good, likewise.
00:49To do a little bit of this, an assessment of everything that Milei promised,
00:55what he has accomplished, what is on the way, and what is still pending.
01:00Do you agree?
01:02That's right. Well, a year after Milei became president,
01:06Guillermo, at Chequeado we verified 20 promises made by the first president
01:10to know how much he said in the campaign and how much he didn't.
01:13Perfect.
01:14The result so far is what we are seeing on the screen.
01:18Of the 20 promises made by the president, there are 12 in which Milei fulfilled
01:23or took action so that they are advanced.
01:25That is, more than half of the promises are fulfilled or advanced.
01:28Let's see, the most important ones are low inflation, zero tax deficit,
01:33what has to do with security, the tickets.
01:36Am I doing well there? Am I on the right track?
01:39You are on the right track.
01:41The most important ones are to end inflation cancer,
01:45move towards dollarization of the economy, privatize public companies,
01:50lower taxes, implement regulations, reduce public spending,
01:54and also create the human capital ministry, which was one of the promises he made
01:58in the year 2023.
02:00Of the remaining 8, there are 4 promises that are in process but are delayed,
02:06and the other 4 are unfulfilled.
02:08When we talk about the promises that are delayed, we are talking about actions,
02:12we are talking about commitments in which the government made very few actions
02:16or did not do anything, such as closing the central bank,
02:20giving resources to families so that they choose the schools
02:24to which they want to take their children,
02:27putting in order the pension system without violating the right of the pensioners,
02:31and protecting the child from conception, that is, from abortion.
02:35These are promises that are delayed.
02:38And lastly, we have the 4 unfulfilled ones, which are
02:43to implement tariff schemes that do not negatively impact the pockets of Argentines.
02:47This is one of the promises that Bilay made in the campaign of 2023
02:52in his electoral platform.
02:54The other unfulfilled promise is to load the adjustment that the State is doing,
02:58when most of the adjustment is falling on the private sector.
03:02The third unfulfilled promise is to maintain the freedom of the public university.
03:07What is happening here is that the national government is taking forward
03:11actions that are contrary to not loading the public university,
03:15that is why we put it as unfulfilled, such as loading
03:19non-resident foreign students and paying the university.
03:23And lastly, the last unfulfilled promise is to improve the infrastructure
03:28of hospitals, which is what we are seeing with the budget data,
03:31is that the funds for hospitals are falling,
03:35considering inflation, and besides, there are no new public works considered
03:39in the coordination.
03:41Matías, the most interesting difference is between the promises,
03:45fulfilled or unfulfilled, that the electorate cares a lot about,
03:49for example, the low inflation, which is important,
03:53and the others that are more about the elite, the dome.
03:57For example, the Ministry of Human Capital.
03:59Who the hell cares if there is or not a Ministry of Human Capital?
04:03Beyond the fact that we understand that the functions it has are important,
04:06that it brings together several previous ministries,
04:08social development, education, etc.
04:10But what I'm saying is, it would be good to differentiate
04:13which are the ones that people care about,
04:15and which are the ones that are cold or distant to them.
04:20What we see is that in the unfulfilled promises,
04:23most of the issues are related to social issues,
04:27but when we evaluate the promises, we have to evaluate 20 promises,
04:32as we do with other presidents.
04:35We have to remind the audience, Guillermo,
04:38and the colleagues of the program,
04:40that Chequeado has been doing this work since 2016.
04:44We did it with Mauricio Macri's four years,
04:47and we did it with Alberto Fernández's four years.
04:49And to be able to follow up on campaign promises,
04:52we have to select the same number of campaigns,
04:54the same number of promises, which are 20,
04:57and we follow them over time.
04:59And what we did in this case,
05:01was the same thing we did with the other presidents.
05:03And, Matías, comparatively, with Macri's and Fernández's presidencies,
05:08at this point in the year, how is MILEI doing?
05:12Well, when we compare the first year of MILEI with its predecessors,
05:16what we see is that MILEI registers, so far,
05:19a greater number of advanced and fulfilled promises
05:22than Alberto Fernández and Mauricio Macri.
05:24Alberto Fernández, if we look at 2020-2021,
05:27not to take into account only the pandemic,
05:30only fulfilled or showed advances in seven proposals
05:33in the first year of government, that is, in 2020,
05:36and in six in the second, in 2021.
05:38Mauricio Macri showed advances or fulfilled promises in seven.
05:43And as I said at the beginning of the interview,
05:47MILEI registers, so far,
05:4912 between advanced and fulfilled.
05:57And taking, Matías, to the election,
05:59which is going to be very important,
06:01it is a before and after, right?
06:03Where President Javier MILEI will try to achieve
06:06much more volume in Congress.
06:08What would be the promises that serve as a criteria for voting
06:12and in which it should accelerate to consolidate that vote?
06:19Well, we at Chequeado do not evaluate
06:23if the promises made by the president are positive
06:26or negative in terms of the country.
06:28What we evaluate is whether what he promised is being fulfilled or not.
06:32Whether it is being fulfilled or not.
06:34As a general balance of MILEI's promises,
06:36MILEI has a positive rating.
06:38That is, it is doing many of the things
06:40that he promised in campaign to the people
06:43and it is being seen on a daily basis.
06:46That is, we do not evaluate whether it is positive or negative
06:49for the country that the Central Bank is closed.
06:51What we evaluate is that MILEI promised
06:54to close the Central Bank.
06:56And a year from its mandate,
06:58we have a promise to delay at that point.
07:00You make the objective evaluation,
07:02we as journalists, I can tell you that I am sure
07:05that the low inflation will be a criterion
07:09when it comes to voting.
07:12The issue of security in the streets,
07:15surely also, I say, people vote with their pockets
07:19and with the most important concerns that are seen in the polls.
07:22We agree on that,
07:24apart from the specific work of what Chequeado does.
07:28Yes, when you look at the inflation promise,
07:31that MILEI's promise was
07:33we are going to end the inflation cancer.
07:35Well, although the president did not specify deadlines,
07:38we put this promise in advance
07:41because during this year the inflation has decelerated
07:44and the last available figure, which is September 2024,
07:47was 2.7%, that is, the lowest in the last 34 months.
07:51Now, if one would also like to measure
07:55the evolution that Chequeado has made,
07:57the verification that Chequeado has made
07:59of the government of MILEI in other indicators,
08:02what he sees is that the social indicators,
08:04such as those related to minimum wage,
08:07those related to the salary,
08:09show this year a plateau or growth,
08:13but that is not yet enough to recover
08:15the value that those indicators had
08:20at the end of Alberto Fernández's administration.
08:22Of course, of course.
08:23What must also be highlighted,
08:24and with this we leave you Matías,
08:25is that in the first year of management,
08:28Javier MILEI, in the consideration of the people,
08:31I think it is in an acceptance of 53-54%,
08:34higher than what Alberto Fernández and Mauricio Macri were
08:38also when they turned 12 months,
08:40which is also a very important asset,
08:42but that will have to be refrained in 2025
08:45with all these pending assignments
08:47that you are detailing in this work.
08:50That's right.
08:51And let me tell you, Guillermo,
08:53I want to thank you very much,
08:54because from Chequeado we believe that
08:56the initiatives of following promises are fundamental
08:58for the control of government acts
09:00and the contract that the president made
09:02with the people who voted for him.
09:03Yes, above all, that for us is very important.
09:06And by checking the promises,
09:07we can give information to the citizens reliably
09:09so that later they make their decisions,
09:11in their day-to-day,
09:12they make their own decisions based on verified data.
09:15And it is a way, from Chequeado,
09:18in which we encourage active citizenship.
09:22And yes, against the data one cannot fight,
09:25they are the data.
09:26Matías, we send you a hug and happy holidays
09:30if we don't talk again before.
09:32Thank you very much,
09:33a greeting to everyone over there
09:34and happy holidays to you too.
09:35Goodbye, see you later.
09:36Well, and what's going on in Casa de Gobierno,
09:39Luciana Arias, who moved from La Rural?
09:41Lu?
09:43We have been following Guille,
09:45President Javier Milei,
09:46who left, as you said, La Rural
09:48at 10 o'clock in the morning, 10 minutes,
09:51where he had been, of course,
09:53a few minutes, nothing more,
09:54and he arrived here,
09:56together with his committee,
09:57to Casa de Gobierno,
09:59where he will have a really intense day
10:02because after this meeting
10:05with rural society there in Palermo,
10:07at 3 p.m. he expects to record
10:10a video that will be released
10:13at 9 p.m.,
10:15in the national network
10:16that you mentioned a little while ago.
10:18At 5 p.m. he expects there to be
10:20an end-of-year toast
10:22with special guests here in Casa Rosada
10:25and, as we said,
10:26at 9 p.m. the broadcast of this video
10:28by the national network.
10:30What we know so far,
10:31about our accredited people
10:34here in Casa de Gobierno,
10:36our colleague Estela Garnica confirms
10:38that in the corridors
10:40it is already said
10:41that none of these activities
10:42will be open to the press.
10:44That is, they will all be closed doors,
10:47everything closed to the press.
10:49Of course,
10:50later the broadcast
10:52that we mentioned
10:53will be broadcast
10:54through the national network,
10:55but from that moment it will be blocked.
10:58Absolute hermeticism
10:59regarding what is going to be said.
11:01This surprise effect
11:02that Javier Milei usually looks for
11:05for the 21 hours.
11:07Very good.
11:08Thank you, Lu.
