""I was convinced that we could bring about real change, but unfortunately, the project has strayed from its path," Pagano told DW about her motives. She said the government has ignored the needs of the middle class and disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities and pensioners. And "in cases of suspected corruption, the suspects were not fired as promised, but have even been protected," she said indignantly."
"Pagano did not mince words in her incendiary statement. She said Milei has surrounded himself with opportunists, yes-men and sycophants, while constructive criticism has been being severely punished. Grandparents have to choose between food and medicine, while universities are falling into disrepair and corruption is not being combated. Milei must change course, she insisted, otherwise the country and industry will go to the dogs."
Marcela Pagano served two years as a member of parliament for La Libertad Avanza and left the party with three other lawmakers after publicly criticizing President Javier Milei. She accused Milei of concentrating power within a small, closed circle and protecting suspected corruption rather than dismissing those accused. She said the government has ignored the needs of the middle class and disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities and pensioners. She warned that opportunists and yes-men surround the president, that constructive criticism is punished, and that social services and universities are deteriorating amid economic reforms that have reduced inflation at significant social cost.
