The Argentine president Javier Milei has implemented a series of measures that have generated a great debate in the country. Since coming to power, he has made clear his objective of dismantling what he considers symbols of Kirchnerism and Peronism, in an attempt to set a new course for Argentina.
Among its most controversial actions are the removal of busts of Néstor Kirchner and other Peronist symbols, as well as the proposal to close and demolish the emblematic Evita building located on Avenida 9 de Julio. One of the first measures of Javier Milei was the removal of the busts of Néstor Kirchner and other Peronist symbols from public buildings and squares.
This decision was justified by the president as a necessary step to “deskirchnerize” the country and eliminate what he considers “idolatry” towards political figures who, according to his vision, have contributed to corruption and the economic deterioration of Argentina.
The removal of these symbols has been met with mixed reactions. On the one hand, his followers applaud the measure as an act of justice and a way to break with the past. On the other hand, defenders of Kirchnerism and Peronism see these actions as a direct attack on their legacy and the recent history of the country.
One of Milei’s most controversial proposals is to close and demolish the Evita building, located on Avenida 9 de Julio. This building, which houses the Ministry of Social Development, is known for the iconic images of Eva Perón on its facades.
The president has argued that the building is a symbol of “populism” and that its demolition would be a symbolic step towards the modernization and depoliticization of public space. The proposal has generated intense debate.
Criticisms
Critics argue that demolishing the building would be an act of cultural vandalism and a lack of respect for the memory of Eva Perón, a historical figure beloved by many Argentines. In addition, they point out that the building has an architectural and heritage value that must be preserved.
Beyond symbolic actions, Javier Milei has implemented a series of economic and social measures that seek to profoundly reform the Argentine State. Among these measures are the reduction of public spending, the privatization of state companies and the elimination of subsidies.. The president maintains that these reforms are necessary to reduce the fiscal deficit and attract foreign investment.
