Buenos Aires, Argentina – President Javier Milei is set to record a national broadcast on August 8, 2025, to explain his vetoes of laws that increase public funds for retirees and people with disabilities. The message, which was filmed at 6 p.m. in the Casa Rosada and will be broadcast at 9 p.m., is intended to “wall off the zero deficit and monetary policy.” This action follows a series of adverse votes the government faced in the Chamber of Deputies.

Initially, Milei planned to speak alone, but he was joined during the filming by Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo, and the head of the Central Bank, Santiago Bausili. The President’s address is described as a “master class on economics,” where he will explain why seemingly negative actions now are necessary to prevent future inflation. He will also discuss the government’s strategy for dealing with the parliamentary setback, including the possibility of judicializing the vetoes.

The article also notes that the government believes inflation will reach 0% by the middle of next year. The message’s target audience includes both the opposition and allies who voted against the government, as Milei seeks to reinforce his commitment to fiscal discipline and a sound monetary policy.
