In addition, He criticized the cuts policy implemented by Milei, which was promoted by his government as ‘the chainsaw’. In this regard, Türk stressed that cuts to public spending “particularly affect the most marginalized.”

The UN warned that the situation in Argentina is critical.
Furthermore, he pointed out that other measures that violate fundamental rights are the closures of state institutions, such as those dedicated to “to women’s rights and access to justice.”
A UN alert for the Government of Javier Milei
The high commissioner also pointed out that among Milei’s decisions that could violate people’s rights, there is “an instruction from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of suspend participation in all events abroad related to the 2030 Agenda.”
For this reason, Türk urged the Argentine authorities “to place human rights at the center of their policy formulation, to build a more cohesive and inclusive society.” “This also means full respect for the right to peaceful assembly and freedom of expression,” added the representative of the UN human rights office, according to information from the Actualidad RT site.
There was also a chapter for Mexico, since Türk demanded “accountability” for the episodes of violence that occurred during the recently concluded electoral process. “In Mexico, I call on authorities to ensure accountability for violence and murders occurred during the electoral period, including those of politicians,” said the official.
The diagnosis of a governor
The governor and president of the Justicialist Party of La Rioja expressed the same line as the UN, Ricardo Quintela, who questioned the “repressive scheme” by the Security Forces and warned there may have been “an unwanted scenario” with deaths “like in 2001.”
In statements to Radio Metro, the president assured that President Javier Milei was the first to affirm “that Peronism wants a dead person” and that His management intends to “frighten society.”
“What is happening is serious. Surely a social commotion will be caused because people are going to come out (to demonstrate) due to the state of desperation they have. There are many sectors that are afraid of losing their jobs or that have an unworthy salary because it does not allow them to even support their family. Obviously, that can generate a popular reaction that can have unpredictable consequences, responsibly speaking,” he highlighted.
Quintela considers that beginning the management “with a decree of necessity and urgency” and tripling the value of fuel, which impacted “all the items that society uses to live,” are measures that were not well received by citizens.
