The study by Synopsis Consultores, which assessed public opinion during Milei’s two years in office, ranks the abusive cuts to pensions and the failure to address their legitimate demands in third place, and in fourth place the annoyance generated by the libertarian leader’s aggressive and insulting rhetoric.

Concern about government corruption grew significantly in 2025 compared to 2024, particularly due to the dissemination of several scandals, such as the multi-million dollar scam involving the fake cryptocurrency $Libra, which the president promoted and which placed him and his sister at the center of a criminal and congressional investigation.

Another act of corruption that drew considerable public attention was the 10 suitcases brought into the country through Aeroparque Airport without being inspected or going through customs by a businessman friendly with the libertarian government.

The issue involved bribes stemming from inflated invoices for the purchase of medications for the disabled is also a concern; according to the investigation, 3 percent of these bribes went to Karina Milei, the Secretary General of the Presidency.

The reelection bid of former national deputy Jose Luis Espert, who was forced to resign, was another scandalous fiasco for the libertarians.

After vehemently denying it, Espert was forced to admit that he received large sums of money from a drug trafficker extradited to the United States.
